And do you know who understands that really well? Donald Trump,\u201d Moore said. \u201cI want to be clear: We can \u2014 and we must \u2014 condemn Donald Trump\u2019s reckless actions. But we would also be foolish not to learn from his impatience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moore talked about his roots in Charleston, where his grandfather was born, his Army service and record on crime and job creation in Maryland. He also spoke about the perilous times the country faces, and told the crowd that he is on a \u201cmission\u201d to help deliver adequate health care and livable wages for those who need them.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a vision Moore sought to contrast with the \u201creckless actions\u201d of Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Moore, 46, is seen as one of the party\u2019s most promising young stars and has caught the attention of Hollywood icon and Democratic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AGyvArQmTf8\" target=\"_blank\"><u>megadonor George Clooney<\/u><\/a>. While many Democrats are eager to turn the page after difficult electoral losses last cycle, the governor told the party faithful that mustering up the courage to fight can\u2019t wait until the next presidential cycle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnyone who is talking about 2028 does not understand the urgency of 2025,\u201d Moore said.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier on Friday, Moore toured the Scout Motors Production Facility in nearby Blythewood and planned to attend a campaign-style fish fry after the dinner \u2014 making his visit seem even more like a tryout for 2028.<\/p>\n<p>Moore, Maryland\u2019s first \u2014 and currently the nation\u2019s only \u2014 Black governor has drawn the ire of a handful of Democrats back home and in South Carolina over his veto of a reparations bill passed by the state legislature. The measure called for the study of historic race-based inequality in the state.<\/p>\n<p>At least one South Carolina lawmaker, state Rep. John King, called for Moore to be disinvited from the gala.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe governor&#8217;s veto doesn&#8217;t just affect Maryland,\u201d said King, who boycotted the dinner. \u201cIt echoes in every state where Black lawmakers are already working uphill. It makes our jobs harder, and that&#8217;s something we can&#8217;t afford to ignore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The issue of reparations remains politically divisive, with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/short-reads\/2022\/11\/28\/black-and-white-americans-are-far-apart-in-their-views-of-reparations-for-slavery\/\" target=\"_blank\"><u>2022 Pew Research Center survey<\/u><\/a> showing that 77 percent of African Americans supported them, while less than 20 percent of white respondents did.<\/p>\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/governor.maryland.gov\/Lists\/Vetoes\/Attachments\/1\/SB587-Veto-Letter-Reparations-Study.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><u>governor\u2019s veto letter<\/u><\/a> he suggested that with economic headwinds facing his state, it is an inopportune time to fund \u201canother study.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moore has also followed other Democrats thought to be eyeing White House runs by sitting for more podcast interviews.<\/p>\n<p>This includes a recent appearance on \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VtbfCf6AQrg\" target=\"_blank\"><u>The Breakfast Club<\/u><\/a>\u201d co-hosted by Charlamagne tha God and Kara Swisher\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/mx\/podcast\/gov-wes-moore-talks-trump-democrats-doge-and-running-in-2028\/id1643307527?i=1000706334990\" target=\"_blank\"><u>podcast to talk about DOGE cuts and impact to his state<\/u><\/a>.
