Moore vs Trump on July Fourth | Annapolis News

Governor Wes Moore is set to deliver a bold July 4th speech titled “The Work of Patriotism” from the Maryland State House, aiming to reclaim patriotism from Republican narratives and position it as a Democratic value. As President Trump prepares his own tribute on the National Mall, the two leaders are staging a symbolic showdown — one framing patriotism as national unity, the other as personal legacy. Critics like Republican Delegate Matt Morgan call Moore’s speech a self-promotional stunt, citing his handling of a $5.5 billion surplus and rising energy costs as evidence of misplaced priorities. Despite the backlash, Moore insists he’ll serve his full term if reelected, turning the holiday into a political theater with national stakes.
