Wes Moore's No Good, Very Bad Week

Governing is not the land of milk and honey that Wes Moore thought it would be.

Things are not great if you are Wes Moore right now.

Last weekend, your big speech to MACO got a tepid response at best as you spun a yarn about fixing a structural deficit that is not fixed, attacking Donald Trump, and making vague allusions to tackling affordable housing without a real plan to do anything about it.

Just this week, you learned your Chief of Staff and your Budget Secretary are decamping for new positions in the private sector.

On top of it, a primary opponent that you would have dispatched easily switched parties, meaning Republicans now have at least one well-funded candidate running for Governor. Your approval rating is hovering around 50% you are getting Martin O'Malley-esque polling numbers in your Presidential run and now the guy you replaced is very publicly threatening to take his job back, has an approval rating of 76%.

Governing is not the land of milk and honey that Wes Moore thought it would be.
