Maryland Governor Wes Moore, a rising star in the Democratic Party, recently participated in a CBS News town hall with senior correspondent Norah O'Donnell to discuss pressing national issues, including the critical 2026 midterm elections and his vision for the future direction of the Democratic Party. The special event, part of CBS News' 'Things That Matter' series, provided Governor Moore with a platform to share his perspectives on current political challenges and opportunities facing the nation.
