Maryland Governor Wes Moore joins Bakari Sellers for a conversation about leadership, governing and what it actually means to fight for people.

Moore opens up about why he skipped the traditional political ladder and ran straight for Governor, the lessons he carried from the military into public office, and how his administration has approached everything from child poverty and violent crime to HBCUs, Black-owned businesses and the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

Bakari and Governor Moore also get into one of the biggest questions facing Democrats right now: Is fighting Donald Trump enough? Moore explains why he believes voters aren’t simply looking for somebody willing to fight with the other side. They want somebody willing to fight for them.

They also discuss supporting Black men and boys, the debate over reparations in Maryland, data centers, his relationship with his wife and family, and what he believes leadership should look like after the Trump era.

And, of course, Bakari asks the question everybody is going to keep asking: What does 2028 look like for Wes Moore?
