Gov. Wes Moore of Maryland is campaigning for Democrats in key Virginia congressional races this weekend, including challenging incumbent Republican lawmakers Jen Kiggans and John McGuire, as well as incumbents facing lesser threats from GOP candidates. The races for Elaine Luria's district are seen as a toss-up by the Cook Political Report, while others are listed as either likely or solidly Democratic. Moore is also supporting Sen. Mark Warner, whose race is considered solidly Democratic. This campaign tour reflects Moore’s commitment to his party and comes amid speculation about potential presidential aspirations for 2028, though he has denied these rumors in interviews with Politico.
