Maryland Gov. Wes Moore says he is “very concerned” that President Donald Trump could use federal government power to interfere with the midterm elections this fall. In comments reported by multiple outlets, Moore frames his concern around the possibility that Trump, in the final two years of his administration, may try to maintain his political advantage by influencing election outcomes.
ABC News reports Moore’s view that Trump could use federal power to affect the elections. The Washington Times similarly quotes Moore describing potential interference by the federal government to thwart the midterms as Trump seeks to keep control of power. Yahoo News also relays Moore’s statement expressing concern that Trump may act to influence the fall vote.
The articles present Moore’s remarks without detailing specific actions he says Trump will take. They focus on the governor’s warning about the potential use of federal authority during the election period.
