Some Democratic governors have vowed to resist the incoming administration’s policies.
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said on Tuesday that he will work with President-elect Donald Trump when he takes office next week despite mounting resistance from other Democratic leaders.
Moore made the comments during an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper in response to questions regarding what approach he plans to take with the new Republican presidency.
“I’m not the leader of the resistance. I’m the governor of Maryland,” Moore said. “My job is to make sure that the 6.5 million people who call the state of Maryland home are going to be supported, protected, that their freedoms and their rights are going to be honored, and also their hopes and their dreams and their aspirations are going to be invested in and supported.”
The governor noted, however, that there are limits to his cooperation with Trump.
“I have been very clear that I will work with anybody who wants to be a good partner inside the work to make sure that Maryland is supported, but I am also prepared to make sure that we will push back when we see those basic rights being violated,” he said.
