Wes Moore, the governor of Maryland and campaign surrogate for Joe Biden, has warned of the limitations of an election message centred on the threat to democracy posed by Donald Trump.
In January the US president gave a rousing speech about the need to protect democratic institutions from Trump, now his rival in the 2024 election, and the Biden campaign has promised to put the issue front and centre.
Biden can point to an increase in housing inventory and measures that make it easier to build affordable housing, Moore argues, as well as a cap on insulin prices and steps to reinforce and expand the Affordable Care Act, which Trump has threatened to undermine.
Moore, 45, a Rhodes scholar and former paratrooper who saw combat in Afghanistan, is widely tipped as a potential future presidential candidate.
He insists that he is not thinking about such speculation but does intend to be a highly active surrogate for the Biden-Harris re-election campaign in the coming months.
The governor urged the grassroots “uncommitted” movement, which racked up tens of thousands of Democratic primary votes in Michigan and Minnesota in protest at Biden’s handling of the war in Gaza, to consider the potential perils of withholding their support in November.
