Two of the Democratic Party’s rising stars have been thrust into the national spotlight this week after the bridge collapse in Baltimore.
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, 45, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, 42 — both of whom considered likely candidates for higher office in the future — face a key test with their handling of the aftermath of the disaster, which took six lives and will require a bridge reconstruction and port reopening.
“It is a bright reflection of the talent we have within the Democratic Party and their ability to lead in times of crisis,” said Antjuan Seawright, a Democratic strategist. “Sometimes it’s a crisis that forces leaders to rise to the top and answer the call. I think this unfortunate tragedy has done just that.”

I listened to today’s press show. It was obviously just a bunch of politicians anxious for camera time. The EPA clown just mouthed a bunch of “go team” platitudes like he was living in a motivational poster.
The Army Corps of Engineers Colonel and Coast Guard Admiral sounded remotely competent.
Westley Watende Omari Moore (born October 15, 1978) is an American politician, businessman, author, and veteran, serving as the 63rd governor of Maryland since 2023.
“Politician, businessman, author and veteran.” He’s hooked up, and is the recipient of an unassailable biography. The cabal must have high expectations.
His bio so far checks all the boxes. He’ll be on a presidential ticket some day. Another person of alleged humble roots, yet he attended elite private schools: Riverdale Country School in the Bronx, and Valley Forge Military Academy; Johns Hopkins University; Rhodes scholar/Oxford. Played football at JH, and initiated into three fraternities.
Army Reserve - Military Intelligence ✔️
Rhodes scholar - International relations.
In February 2006, Moore was named a White House Fellow to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. He later worked as an investment banker at Deutsche Bank in Manhattan and at Citibank from 2007 to 2012 while living in Jersey City, New Jersey. In 2009, Moore was included on Crain’s New York Business's "40 Under 40" list.
He founded a tv production company, a company that provided services to college students, produced a tv documentary, and was CEO for four years of a charitable organization, and he’s written three books.
So yeah, high expectations.
But Buttplug likes it hard is what you mean. Those Hillbillies thing he’s a rising star, this is comedy night.
I can see why The Hill no longer allows comments.
It’s disgusting to watch those two people who had responsibly over this area of society congratulating themselves for their leadership, even a few hours into the disaster. And voters let them get away with it, many probably like them.
Chicago, you linked the wrong article, shouldn’t this go to the Bee?
Wes Moore is an out and out commie. Zero value to me, everything he pushes is “progressive” garbage.
His name may be familiar, but it will probably become synonymous with,”mishandled Major disaster”
Has the Hill been bought out by National Lampoon or The Babylon Bee?
A ferry can be useful when the bridge is out
Must be some really potent Koolaid that they’re drinking! 🤪
Moore/Buttigieg 2028, or switch them around. It doesn’t matter.
The MASOL ticket.
People here always made fun of Hogan; but I’d sure rather have him than this guy.
Pure BS propaganda
“. . . both of whom considered likely candidates for higher office in the future. . . .”
LOL!
Not a FReaking chance!

Honestly, I thought this was something from the Bee.
The folks at the Hill can’t really believe this nonsense.
No one outside Baltimore is paying that much attention to them. Puffy had his house raided and Beyoncé is singing “Jolene”🎵🎤
I don’t know why you doubt it. We have Biden, after all...
