On Saturday’s episode of MS NOW’s “The Assignment,” Maryland Governor Wes Moore (D-MD) criticized President Donald Trump’s actions related to elections, calling them ‘unconstitutional.’ Moore emphasized that Trump’s concerns about election integrity are limited to the elections he loses, as he remains silent on those he wins.
Moore stated, ‘The only elections that Donald Trump has problems with are the elections that he loses. Elections that he wins, he has nothing to say about them.’ He continued, ‘We have now spent months red teaming and planning for any possible scenario for interference, and also any scenario that infringes upon the Constitution, because voting is very clearly in the Bill of Rights, a state-run function.’
Moore highlighted the importance of state-level responsibility in ensuring free, fair, and secure elections. ‘In the state of Maryland, we are guaranteeing to our people that the elections will be free, fair and safe and secure,’ he said. ‘And the other governors, the attorneys general and the secretaries of state, it is their responsibility that the Constitution is then followed out, that in their states, the same can be guaranteed.’
He added, ‘We have seen a multitude of not just Democratic states, but Republican states. You know, states like Wyoming and states like Ohio, that have come out and said that we have to ensure that the Constitution is followed and that our elections are going to be secured.’ Moore warned that any federal interference in state elections is ‘unwise’ and ‘unconstitutional.’
‘Since we have seen this becoming a trend of the Trump administration, we are now also very clear that in this time and in this moment, that we are going to make sure that the Constitution is followed in our states,’ Moore concluded. His remarks reflect a broader effort by state officials to safeguard election processes against what they perceive as federal overreach, particularly in the wake of recent election-related controversies.
