Wes Moore: “Pathways for Work, Wages, and Wealth for All Marylanders” | The Daily Show

“I’ve been a public servant for my entire life. I just haven’t been a politician.” Maryland’s first Black governor-elect Wes Moore shares why he chose to campaign in areas that had few Democrats, what he believes “patriotism” really means, and how his life experiences influenced him to focus on building pathways for “work, wages, and wealth” for Marylanders. #DailyShow #Comedy

As a Marylander I am so proud of our new governor. Thank you, Trevor, for giving him national exposure.

[@raellmoreland4863]

Me too, I have high hopes for him as well

[@adamishaw]

As a Marylander I’m happy he’s our next guy, however I didt hear 1 specific thing he stands for politically. Like on health care

[@galaxylucia1898]

Same here! Hogan stepped up during the pandemic, but I am so excited to see what happens now and to see how I can also contribute at the local level (besides voting every two years).

Not from Maryland so was not familiar with Mr. Moore but after listening to him--very impressed. Also impressed with Trevor Noah-not just a comedian but very intelligent and articulate. A quick wit is a sign of a quick mind.

[@aresef]

He's got a few books, most notably The Other Wes Moore. His other nonfiction book of note is about the 2015 unrest, Five Days: The Fiery Reckoning of an American City (co-written with NYT reporter Erica L. Green, formerly of The Sun).

[@BURNETTWEALTHGROUP]

WOW I love this guy and I don’t even live in Maryland. Now if he can get even half of this done, because we know Republicans will stop at nothing to see someone fail. I can definitely see him as a Presidential Candidate

[@marylander3798]

We have a dem supermajority in our legislature. The republican party in MD has made itself irrelevant so Wes will largely be able to implement his priorities with a budget surplus and unified government. He's in a very lucky position.

[@LuckyCharmgirl247]

Yes I am unsure as to why Trevor initially worded when he was talking about how hard it would be for a Dem to win in Maryland because the truth is Maryland is for the most part a pretty Dem. and Blue state. last Gov. election was an exception with Hogan being a Rep. but Hogan himself was moderate leaning so… I don’t think Moore will struggle to hard trying to get MD legislature on his side.

[@marylander3798]

@@LuckyCharmgirl247 I agree, maybe he meant he wasn't the favorite to win the dem primary which made his overall candidacy a long shot. Idk

I look forward to seeing Wes Moore lead and shape this wonderful state to greatness.

[@amys0482]

We need more like this one.

[@nca4794]

Wes, if you can deliver for Maryland, the White House is yours! Personally, I'm more impressed by actions, not words, but I'm encouraged by the topics he's focused on in this interview. I really think to improve education, especially given the "80% by five years old" statistic, we should start educating children before pre-K, especially in areas that lack resources or where parents have limited education. That type of investment would change generations, especially if it includes parents.

[@ITreasureMEAromatherapy]

Brilliant leader with a heart for the people! I pray him success and that Maryland becomes a model for other states to bring all people to a place of economic wealth and universal healthcare!

[@pamcamcris]

Wes Moore is Progressive and as a Marylander who votes Democrat but with Progressive ideals, I'm also hoping to see that he bring actionable reform to healthcare, particularly for universal healthcare, into the state. I'm especially interested to see what conversations & partnerships he'll forge since we're a state with such highly regarded teaching hospitals Johns Hopkins University and University of Maryland, not to mention since MD is where CMS lives. I've worked as a non-clinical hospital administration staffer the past 6 years at bith Hopkins & UMMS, I've also worked as a contractor for CMS & for a Medicare-based insurance company so really have a vested interest in healthcare reform.

Got a huge 2004 DNC vibe from Governor-elect Wes Moore, similar to a young politician that gave a historic speech at that event. (And, I have a wonderful one liner I'll be saving for the next baseball cap wearing "patriot" with too much to say.)

[@kpokpojiji]

As an independent voter, so no skin in the democrat versus republican game, I can't help but be impressed by the clarity of thought, patriotism and eloquence by this younger generation of Democrats. So few Republicans are of this quality now- Kinzinger comes to mind, but few others.

[@TheAureliac]

Kinzinger is a smart man of integrity, which is why his position in the Republican party is tenuous. I disagree with him on many policy issues, but I respect the thought he puts into his job. And, unlike most of the GOP House members these days, he actually believes his job involves policy rather than just publicity.

[@Sita22314]

I was born in and grew up in Maryland and have to disagree that Moore didn’t stand a chance. Yes, Hogan was a Republican but he was the antithesis of Trump. He banned fracking in the state, he took the pandemic seriously and didn’t take for granted that most of the state had zero interest in being led by an extremist idiot. Maryland is the second highest educated state in the union and Moore was pretty electable when all is said and done.
