Moore wrestles with Md. lawmakers as national profile grows
"not going to have difficulty getting reelected"
"But he's going to have difficulty running for anything else nationally if he doesn't get the relationships right at home."
"work together"
"let the democratic process die"
Several Maryland Democrats describe Moore as talented but struggling because of limited experience and occasional arrogance. State lawmakers overrode 19 of Moore's December vetoes, including a bill to study reparations for descendants of enslaved people, which especially upset Black lawmakers. Moore pushed to redraw congressional maps to potentially gain an extra U.S. House seat, arguing it would protect democracy, while Senate leaders resisted, fearing court rejection and less favorable maps. Moore's State of the State combined calls to "work together" with urgings not to "let the democratic process die," heightening tensions. Observers say reelection looks likely but national ambitions could be harmed by strained local relationships.
