During an interview on NBC\u2019s <em>Meet the Press<\/em>, Moore said he intends to serve a full second term if reelected next year. Pressed by host Kristen Welker, he stated clearly: \u201cYeah, I\u2019m not running for president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Welker sought multiple clarifications, asking Moore if he was \u201ccompletely\u201d ruling it out. Moore confirmed, emphasizing that he is focused on continuing Maryland\u2019s progress under his leadership. He cited achievements such as the state\u2019s drop in violent crime and having one of the nation\u2019s lowest unemployment rates. \u201cMaryland is moving,\u201d he said, \u201cand I\u2019m excited to ask the people for another term.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moore\u2019s announcement comes as speculation around the 2028 race intensifies. On the political betting platform Polymarket, Vice President JD Vance leads the overall presidential odds at 27%. California Governor Gavin Newsom follows at 17%, while Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stands at 10%. Former Vice President Kamala Harris trails significantly at just 4%.<\/p>\n<p>Among Democrats, Newsom tops the field with a 22% chance, followed by Ocasio-Cortez at 18%, and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg at 12%. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Harris round out the top contenders. On the Republican side, Vance is far ahead with 56%, well above second-place Marco Rubio, who holds just 6%.<\/p>\n<p>Vance\u2019s frontrunner status reflects his national visibility and growing influence. He currently serves as RNC finance chair and has played a key role in advancing Trump administration nominees, including Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Newsom, meanwhile, continues building his profile and recently received a major boost from Rep. Jim Clyburn, a pivotal Democratic figure.<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/embedded-video\/mmvo246995013616\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/embedded-video\/mmvo246995013616\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maryland Governor Wes Moore officially ruled out a run for president in 2028, narrowing the Democratic field ahead of what is expected to be a crowded primary&#8230;. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12363,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12362","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
