In this special episode of Up First, we're sharing the premiere of NPR's newest podcast, <em>Newsmakers</em>, featuring Maryland Gov. Wes Moore. <br/><br/>Moore has turned aside speculation that he might seek the presidency in 2028. He is seeking re-election to his current job in 2026.<br/><br/>But in this interview with Steve Inskeep, Moore says he's put a lot of thought into the challenge that President Trump’s successor would face upon taking office on January 20, 2029. <br/><br/>At 47, Moore is regarded among Democrats as a rising star. The governor and First Lady Dawn Moore have drawn comparisons to the Obamas. He’s a decorated combat veteran, anti-poverty fighter and charismatic public speaker who was elected governor in 2022 in his first ever campaign. <br/><br/><em>NPR's Newsmakers </em>is where you'll find NPR's biggest interviews.
