Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, August 1, 2026 —
Maryland Governor Wes Moore has voiced significant concerns about the potential for former President Donald Trump to interfere with the upcoming midterm elections.
In a recent interview, Governor Moore articulated his worries that Mr. Trump might leverage federal government power to impact election results. He pointed to past instances, including efforts to limit mail-in voting and attempts to acquire state voter data, as evidence of such potential interference.
Governor Moore is preparing to assume the chairmanship of the National Governors Association, a non-partisan organization. In this capacity, he stressed the critical importance of states independently managing their electoral processes, a responsibility he noted is established by the U.S. Constitution.
Moore’s statements underscore a broader concern among some officials regarding the integrity of elections and the potential for undue influence from federal powers in state-level election administration.
