Gov. Moore to speak at DNC with many Maryland politicians attending in support of VP Harris
BALTIMORE — Maryland Gov. Wes Moore is expected to speak at this week’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago where Vice President Kamala Harris is set to be officially nominated as the party’s presidential candidate.
Many of Maryland’s top Democratic politicians are also in Chicago as delegates or to support Harris at the four-day convention which starts Monday, just weeks after President Biden ended his reelection campaign. The Maryland contingent of delegates and political officials will be 138, according to Capital News Service.
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, Lt. Gov. Aruna Miller, Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski, Senate President Bill Ferguson, Attorney General Anthony Brown, Comptroller Brooke Lierman, Maryland House Speaker Adrienne Jones, U.S. Senate candidate Angela Alsobooks and U.S. Senators Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen are expected to be in attendance.
Moore is expected to speak during the convention and said his remarks will focus on service.
“I think she is the right candidate,” Moore told CBS News Baltimore last month. “I think she offers the right vision. I will support her in any way that I can.”
“We have a Vice President for a reason and there is no person more ready, more capable, more able to lead this country than Vice President Harris,” said Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott. “Nothing changes. I was a surrogate for the campaign. I will continue to be a surrogate for the vice president because the message is the same.”
Last month, Maryland’s DNC delegates unanimously voted to support Harris as the country’s Democratic presidential candidate to challenge Republican candidate Donald Trump in the November election.
“The Maryland Democratic Delegation stands unanimously behind her [Harris’s] candidacy, eager to cast our votes for her and campaign vigorously for a historic victory this November,” Maryland Democratic Party Chair Ken Ulman said in a statement.
Harris picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate.
“Gov. Walz is like a real dude and I felt that way from the first time I met him,” Moore said. “I think Tim being Tim is going to be good enough for the American people.”
What is the Democratic Party platform for 2024?
Democrats unveiled a draft of their platform in July, when Mr. Biden was still running for president, according to CBS News.
CBS News reports the platform mentions Trump dozens of times, seeking to draw a sharp contrast between Democrats’ priorities and the positions of the former president and “Project 2025,” a conservative blueprint for the next Republican president.
It will also propose raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour, making the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit permanent, making child care affordable and lowering health care costs, according to CBS News, and proposes a minimum income tax for billionaires, raising the corporate tax rate, banning “junk fees” and ramping up clean energy projects.
On reproductive rights, the platform says Democrats are committed to passing legislation to codify abortion protections, strengthening access to contraception and protecting access to IVF and FDA-approved medication abortion.
Democrats also want to expunge federal marijuana-only convictions, strengthen democracy, secure the border and ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.
According to CBS News, the platform also mentions support for “a negotiated two-state solution that ensures Israel’s future as a Jewish and democratic state with recognized borders and upholds the right of Palestinians to live in freedom and security in a viable state of their own.”

Buzz Williams has brought the number of new players joining the Maryland Terrapins next season to eight.
The Terps have the nation’s No. 8 freshmen recruiting class, consisting of four players including five-star small forward Baba Oladotun. Now, they have just as many transfer portal additions.
Their latest acquisition is forward Maban Jabriel, who previously spent two years with Queens University of Charlotte, a member of the ASUN.
Jabriel announced his commitment to Maryland on his Instagram account:
During his sophomore campaign with the Royals, Jabriel played in all 35 games, mainly off the bench, and averaged 7.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 19.8 minutes.
Shooting is Jabriel’s greatest strength. At 6’9″, he has the size to win battles close to the basket, but the Waterloo, Ontario native can score from all over the court.
Jabriel shot 49.5% from the field, 43.2% from deep, and 77.4% at the free throw line last season. The Terps can certainly use the help after being the worst shooting team (40.7% overall) not just in the Big Ten, but across all the Power conferences.
The rest of Maryland’s transfer class looks like this:
- Tomislav Buljan – power forward who averaged 13.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists for New Mexico last season.
- Robert Jennings II – power forward who averaged 5.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 0.3 assists for Oklahoma State in 2024-25 (injured most of last season).
- Bishop Boswell – combo guard who averaged 6.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 3.1 assists for Tennessee last season.
Put together, the Terps currently have the No. 4 incoming crop of players, according to 247 Sports. That figure was as high as No. 1 this offseason and could rise back up with additional moves.
Maryland is confirmed to be keeping at least three players from last season: Rakease Passmore, who redshirted due to injury, along with Andre Mills and George Turkson Jr.
Pharrel Payne also wishes to return but is waiting for his medical hardship waiver to be approved by the NCAA.
That leaves Buzz with three scholarship spots to fill – either with more transfers or the undecided members of last year’s team, Myles Rice and Guillermo Del Pino.
Players only have until this Tuesday, April 21 to enter the portal, so a decision for both Rice and Del Pino will be made soon.
Maryland On SI will continue to cover the Terps’ transfer portal transactions as they occur.
