Wes Moore criticized President Trump&#8217;s handling of immigration as well as the shortcomings of the Biden administration on the issue. He fired back at a spate of insults from the president, but hinted that Democrats could pick up a few lessons from Mr. Trump as they seek to shed their image as &#8220;the party of no and slow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Army veteran-turned-Democratic governor also addressed his own political future during the hourlong discussion moderated by CBS News senior correspondent Norah O&#8217;Donnell, airing Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Here are the highlights:<\/p>\n<h2>Moore: Democrats need to stop being &#8220;the party of no and slow&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Asked what the Democratic party should do differently, Moore said: &#8220;Democrats have got to stop being the party of no and slow, and start being the party of yes and now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Everything cannot be a 10-year study. Everything cannot be a 15-year analysis, right?&#8221; the governor added. &#8220;If I&#8217;m telling you that I feel like the school that my child is attending is not preparing them for the world, I don&#8217;t want to hear you tell me, &#8216;Well let me just make sure that I put a commission together to analyze that.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He suggested that Democrats could draw inspiration from an unlikely source: Mr. Trump.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He does not waste time,&#8221; the governor said. &#8220;Donald Trump did not need an analysis to decide that he was going to rip away food assistance for the people of our state. Donald Trump did not need a five-year study to determine that he was going to deploy federal agents inside of our communities and neighborhoods with no accountability.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the town hall, Moore pushed his party to focus on &#8220;addressing the issues that people care about,&#8221; like the cost of living, rather than offering &#8220;red meat&#8221; to its existing supporters.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think in this moment that the job of the Democratic Party is not to just energize the base,&#8221; Moore said. &#8220;It&#8217;s to enlargen it. It&#8217;s to speak to everybody.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Does Moore think Trump is a racist?<\/h2>\n<p>Moore has found himself in Mr. Trump&#8217;s crosshairs in recent days. He was one of two Democrats who Mr. Trump <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/democratic-governors-excluded-by-trump-from-white-house\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">declared<\/a><\/span> &#8220;not worthy&#8221; to get invited to an annual White House meeting and dinner with governors from both parties this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In a Truth Social post, the president called Moore &#8220;foul mouthed,&#8221; criticized his performance as Maryland governor and accused him of lying about <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/baltimore\/news\/maryland-wes-moore-bronze-star-army-controversy\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">receiving a military medal<\/a><\/span>. Moore said Mr. Trump&#8217;s post was &#8220;full of lies&#8221; and &#8220;unhinged.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Moore <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/maryland-gov-wes-moore-trump-attack-on-social-media-governors-association\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">shrugged off the White House snub<\/a><\/span>, saying that &#8220;if the point of the meeting is to turn it into name-calling \u2026 I will not go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will work with anyone. But I will bow down to no one,&#8221; Moore told CBS News. &#8220;And I think the president has a problem with that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Mr. Trump <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-shares-racist-video-depicting-obamas-as-apes\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">drew bipartisan criticism<\/a><\/span> over a Truth Social post that included a depiction of Barack and Michelle Obama as apes. A litany of Republican lawmakers <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/republicans-condemn-trumps-racist-video-portraying-obamas-as-apes\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">called the video<\/a><\/span> \u2014 which has been deleted \u2014 &#8220;racist,&#8221; &#8220;incredibly offensive&#8221; and &#8220;inappropriate.&#8221; The president said he didn&#8217;t see the offensive part of the video before posting it.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if he believes Mr. Trump is a racist, Moore said it&#8217;s a question for the president to answer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But, frankly, I think his actions probably give the answer before he even has a chance to answer it himself,&#8221; the Maryland governor said.<\/p>\n<h2>Moore criticizes Trump&#8217;s immigration crackdown \u2014 but says Biden &#8220;needed to do more&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Moore was critical of Mr. Trump&#8217;s handling of immigration, including a surge in Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests that he argued has <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/ice-arrests-violent-criminal-records-trump-first-year\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">ensnared many people<\/a><\/span> who fall far short of the Trump administration&#8217;s pledge to go after the &#8220;worst of the worst.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said ICE, which received a <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/ice-funding-big-beautiful-bill-trump-deportations\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">massive infusion of funds last year<\/a><\/span>, is, by funding, &#8220;the largest law enforcement agency in this country, and they are using their resources arresting 5-year-olds. And so, I have a very difficult time seeing how this is making us safer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The governor <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/gov-wes-moore-biden-on-immigration-trumps-crackdown\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">also said<\/a><\/span> that both parties have &#8220;punted&#8221; on immigration. Asked about the <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/u-s-mexico-border-migrant-crossings-reach-new-biden-era-low\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">surge in unauthorized border crossings<\/a><\/span> during former President Joe Biden&#8217;s time in office, Moore said, &#8220;I definitely think that the former president did not have this right.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We needed to do more,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think anyone can argue that we had the system worked out under President Biden \u2014 that immigration was worked out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said Congress needs to pass comprehensive immigration reform, and faulted the current GOP-led House and Senate for a &#8220;continued abdication of responsibility.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Moore says &#8220;justice has to be served&#8221; for Epstein&#8217;s crimes<\/h2>\n<p>Moore called the revelations that have come to light in millions of newly released Justice Department files on the late sex offender &#8220;sickening.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He continued: &#8220;there needs to be accountability for anybody who was in those files.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think if you are found guilty of doing these horrific things to these children, I do not care your background nor political affiliation, justice has to be served,&#8221; the governor said.<\/p>\n<p>The <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/live-updates\/epstein-files-released-doj-2026\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">trove of files<\/a><\/span> on Epstein and his convicted associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, have offered new details on the government&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-sdny\/pr\/jeffrey-epstein-charged-manhattan-federal-court-sex-trafficking-minors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">investigations<\/a> into Epstein for child sexual abuse, including on <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/live-updates\/epstein-files-released-doj-2026\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">the piles of evidence that investigators<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/live-updates\/epstein-files-released-2025\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">had amassed for decades<\/a><\/span>. Many Epstein survivors have blasted the Justice Department for letting Epstein avoid federal charges until 2019, and for initially resolving his case with a 2008 plea deal on prostitution charges in Florida state court.<\/p>\n<p>Epstein died by suicide while awaiting trial in federal custody in 2019. Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking conspiracy and other crimes, and was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao-sdny\/pr\/ghislaine-maxwell-sentenced-20-years-prison-conspiring-jeffrey-epstein-sexually-abuse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">sentenced to 20 years in prison<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not clear that anybody other than Epstein and Maxwell is implicated in any crimes, but <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/bill-gates-elon-musk-epstein-files-what-documents-show\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">many big names appear in the files<\/a><\/span>, reflecting the close relationships that Epstein cultivated with the rich and powerful. Inclusion in the files is not necessarily evidence of wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The lack of accountability, the lack of transparency, and frankly the lack of justice that we have seen from this has been staggering,&#8221; Moore said. &#8220;And so I stand with the many, many Americans who say there needs to be accountability for what happened to these children.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Moore: &#8220;I&#8217;m not running for president&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Moore is widely viewed as a potential presidential contender. But he told CBS News he isn&#8217;t considering a run for the White House in 2028.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not running for president,&#8221; Moore said, adding that he is focusing on his 2026 reelection bid.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if he would ever consider running for president in the future, the 47-year-old governor said: &#8220;I don&#8217;t see a reason \u2026 I love my job, and I love what I&#8217;m doing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Cost of living is a &#8220;big problem&#8221; in Maryland<\/h2>\n<p>Most Americans hold a <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/cbs-news-poll-economy-house-job-opportunity\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">dim view of the state of the economy<\/a><\/span>, with widespread frustration over the cost of living, according to recent CBS News\/YouGov polling. Maryland is far from immune: The state comptroller <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marylandcomptroller.gov\/content\/dam\/mdcomp\/md\/reports\/research\/housing-economy-print.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">found last October<\/a> that about 40,000 people have left Maryland annually in recent years, with many moving to states with lower housing costs. Utility bills have <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/baltimore\/news\/maryland-households-highest-gas-bills-ever-infrastructure-spending-boom\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">also surged<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Moore acknowledged that housing and energy costs are too high.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is a national problem. But it is a very big problem in the state of Maryland,&#8221; the governor said. &#8220;It&#8217;s just harder to get by. And frankly, it&#8217;s not fair.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said the state hasn&#8217;t done enough to build more housing or &#8220;fortify&#8221; the electric grid by adding more generating capacity. He said he&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nga.org\/news\/commentary\/governors-collaborate-to-ensure-regional-energy-affordability\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">pushing regional power grid operator PJM<\/a> to cap costs and &#8220;stop slowing down&#8221; approvals of new energy projects.<\/p>\n<p>Moore also called himself &#8220;one of the most aggressive housing governors in this country,&#8221; highlighting a <a href=\"https:\/\/governor.maryland.gov\/news\/press\/pages\/governor-moore-announces-housing-growth-and-affordability-agenda-for-2026-legislative-session.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">proposal<\/a> to build housing units on state-owned land.<\/p>\n<h2>Moore presses Maryland Senate to take up redistricting<\/h2>\n<p>Moore is pushing state lawmakers to redraw Maryland&#8217;s congressional map to give Democrats a chance of winning the state&#8217;s sole GOP-controlled House district, part of a nationwide wave of mid-decade redistricting efforts.<\/p>\n<p>The redistricting measure passed the state House, but it has <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/baltimore\/news\/maryland-house-passes-congressional-map-redistricting\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">stalled in the Senate<\/a><\/span>, with the chamber&#8217;s leader <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/maryland-congressional-redistricting-wes-moore-democrats-7b7c758bf1ae11f1dc0555a5a3197b09\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">arguing it could backfire<\/a> by diluting Democrats&#8217; edge in other districts.<\/p>\n<p>Moore told CBS News all he&#8217;s asking of the state Senate is: &#8220;Debate it. Discuss it. And do your democratic duty to vote. No matter how the vote goes, I&#8217;m good, because that&#8217;s democracy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The governor faulted Republicans for firing the opening salvo in the redistricting fight by redrawing Texas&#8217; map to create five new GOP-leaning seats. After Texas passed its maps, California made five of its House districts more Democratic, and Missouri and North Carolina drew one new GOP-leaning district apiece. Virginia Democrats are also looking to redistrict.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Donald Trump started this conversation when he started calling Texas and said, &#8216;I need you to find me votes,'&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;CBS News Things That Matter: A Town Hall with Gov.
