Gov. Wes Moore sees an opportunity to work with Stephen Miller
The possible 2028 contender told POLITICO that Democrats should try to work with the president’s new chief of staff despite a “well of distrust.”
Maryland Governor Wes Moore has expressed openness to collaborating with Stephen Miller, the new White House chief of staff, despite their ideological differences. Moore, who is a potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidate, stated that he believes there is room for bipartisan negotiation on immigration issues with Miller, even though Miller is known for "some of the most racist, xenophobic, homophobic policies."
Moore emphasized that he has always stated he will work with anyone and will not bow to anyone. He expressed disappointment in the "well of distrust" that Miller and his policies have created, but acknowledged the need to ensure good outcomes for the people of his state. Moore also pointed out that there is a window of opportunity for bipartisan agreement on immigration, citing the recent shift in Trump's stance on aggressive deportation policies.
Additionally, Moore addressed the potential for bipartisan agreement on AI safety, urging the incoming Democratic-controlled Congress to create federal regulations on AI companies that protect consumers and workforce development. He noted that much of the regulation has been left to the states, but argued for a unified approach at the national level to avoid having 50 different guidelines for AI regulation.
