Maryland Gov. Wes Moore campaigns for Harris in Philadelphia day before presidential debate

PHILADELPHIA— One day before Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump debate here for the first — and perhaps only — time this cycle, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore joined Pennsylvania Democrats on Monday to rally support for the Democratic ticket.

“I’m here in Pennsylvania because the facts tell us that the decision that is going to be made here in the state of Pennsylvania is going to have a very direct impact on the people of my state as well,” Moore said on Monday during a press conference at the Community College of Philadelphia.

Moore has ties to the Philadelphia area: he graduated from Valley Forge Military Academy and College in the Philadelphia suburbs. He was joined at the event by state Sen. Sharif Street (D-Philadelphia), chairman of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party, and U.S. Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-4th District).

Moore drew comparisons between the Harris economic agenda and Trump and Project 2025- — a conservative policy plan written by the Heritage Foundation that would revamp the federal government. He was optimistic about Harris’ chances in Tuesday’s debate.
