Wes Moore says voters who wanted to ‘disrupt the status quo’ now suffering under Trump –
Maryland Governor Wes Moore expressed his views on the negative impact of President Donald Trump’s policies on voters who initially sought to disrupt the status quo by supporting Trump. During an appearance on ABC’s “The View,” Moore stated that many of these voters are now experiencing hardship due to detrimental governmental policies. He highlighted the plight of farmers in Maryland’s eastern shore, who are struggling to keep their businesses afloat under unfavorable tariff policies, as well as workers at the Port of Baltimore facing job losses. Moore emphasized the frustration and anger felt by these individuals and discussed Maryland’s relatively low unemployment rate of 3%, underscoring the state’s efforts to assist federal workers transitioning to new jobs. He advocated for training and opportunities in various sectors to support those affected by the current administration’s decisions.
Wes Moore says voters who wanted to ‘disrupt the status quo’ now suffering under Trump
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) said Thursday that voters who wanted to “disrupt the status quo” in November are now suffering under President Donald Trump.
“I think for many people that voted for the president, they voted because they wanted to disrupt the status quo, which I understand,” Moore told ABC News’s The View. “I want to disrupt the status quo.”
“My life has been littered with the consequences of bad policies, right? So, I get it.”
“People are just truly hurt by what they’re seeing right now,” Maryland Gov. Wes Moore says to ‘The View’ on Pres. Trump’s first 100 days in office.

Americans who voted for Trump are suffering because of bad policies implemented under Trump, and a person doesn’t need to read polling numbers to see that, according to Moore.
“I spend every day, I go out and I talk to the farmers out in the eastern shore,” he said. “Agriculture is the largest industry in the state of Maryland, and I talk to these farmers, who have had family businesses for over 100 years who are now wondering if they can survive the next six months because of these tariff policies.”
Similarly, workers at the Port of Baltimore are losing work and federal workers are losing their jobs daily, the governor said.
“I think that there’s a chaos that is existing right now,” he said. “They’re not just setting a level of frustration, but it’s an anger, and people are just truly hurt by what they’re seeing right now.”
That hurt is coming from the federal government, which gives governors and state lawmakers a powerful opportunity to step up, according to Moore.

“Maryland, right now, our unemployment rate is still 3%, almost a full point lower than the national average because we’ve found ways to support our federal workers and streamline them into available jobs, private sector and state jobs,” Moore said.
“If they are available, if they are qualified, get them trained. Get them in classrooms. Get them in hospitals. Get them in places where we need them.”
