By Mei Lin ·
Maryland Governor Wes Moore has set a 100-hour deadline for newly elected Democrats in Congress to pass key legislation.
Moore made the remark during a November 5 interview on 92Q, where he discussed his recent reelection victory and his agenda for the next four years.
The governor credited his win to a lack of prior political connections, a factor he called humbling. He also pointed to victories in Howard County and Baltimore County as evidence of Democratic strength in the state.
Moore emphasized the growing number of Black governors serving in the United States, arguing that leadership should mirror the communities it serves. He specifically noted the wins of Vanessa Atterbeary and Julian Jones in the 2026 midterms.
"In the first hundred hours, I need y'all to move," Moore said, demanding swift action on tariffs and a reduction in government spending on overseas conflicts.
The governor reiterated his goal to lower living costs in Maryland while strengthening its economic base. The interview concluded with Moore confirming his plans to attend a Baltimore Ravens game at M&T Bank Stadium on Thursday night.
