The governor of Maryland said Democrats should move past the 2024 presidential election loss and focus on upcoming contests. In an interview released Tuesday, the governor stated he does not care whether the Democratic National Committee releases an internal review of the defeat. "My point is this: release it, don't release it. I don't care," the governor told Politico.

The governor added that the party should not spend extended time analyzing the 2024 results. He said Democrats lost because they did not engage voters and failed to deliver results quickly. He described the former vice president as one of the most accomplished elected officials of the generation and said she has earned the right to decide whether to run again.

The governor also addressed his unsuccessful effort to redraw Maryland's congressional districts. He said officials do not have a choice but to act on the issue. The effort, blocked by state senators, occurs amid broader national discussions about redistricting ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
