This is a major win for Gov. Wes Moore, a Democrat running for reelection who is also considered a potential 2028 presidential candidate. Moore has promoted Maryland redistricting.
Democrats said they are trying to counter Republican-led redistricting in other states by making it easier for Maryland to redraw its own.

He said he felt the effort would backfire legally.
