Houston, TX, August 1, 2026 —
Maryland Governor Wes Moore, now serving as the chair of the National Governors Association (NGA), has voiced significant apprehension regarding potential interference by former President Donald Trump in upcoming midterm elections.
Governor Moore stated he is “very concerned” about the possibility of further actions by Trump that could impact election integrity. He referenced past behaviors, including efforts to limit mail-in voting and attempts to obtain voter information, as precedents for his current worries.
The governor’s comments come as his national profile continues to expand. Beyond his NGA role, Moore is championing his “Service United” agenda, which focuses on enhancing workforce development. This initiative aims to address critical needs in various sectors through training and employment programs.
However, Moore also acknowledged the difficult landscape of achieving bipartisan cooperation within the NGA. The association, like much of the nation’s political sphere, is navigating deep partisan divisions, presenting challenges to unified action on key issues.
The specifics of Trump’s potential actions or the exact nature of the interference feared were not detailed. Similarly, information regarding any specific election cycles beyond the upcoming midterms was not provided. The scope of the NGA’s operational capacity to address such concerns was also not elaborated upon in the provided summary.
