Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, a Democrat and possible 2028 contender, said Democrats should try to work with the president's new chief of staff, Stephen Miller, despite what Moore described as a “well of distrust,” Politico reported. The outlet said Moore told POLITICO the remarks in an interview.
The Hill reported that on Tuesday Moore expressed a willingness to work with new White House chief of staff Stephen Miller. Speaking at an event, Moore said, “I will work with anybody. I will bow to nobody,” according to The Hill.
The Hill also reported that Moore said he always respects a president's decision to have the chief of staff they want. Politico, by contrast, framed Moore's comments as an opportunity for Democrats to work with the new chief of staff, while The Hill emphasized Moore's stated willingness to do so.
Both outlets reported the same core position: Moore said he is prepared to work with Miller in his new role. Politico's account placed that position alongside his acknowledgment of distrust, and The Hill's account placed it alongside his statement that he would work with anyone.
The summaries of the two reports available for this story do not describe a response from Miller or the White House to Moore's remarks. Neither report, as summarized, addresses how Democrats in Congress or elsewhere have responded to the appointment.
