YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAsked what the next U.S. president will face in 2029, Maryland Governor Wes Moore said the country was “functionally broken” to elect Donald Trump for a second time. In an interview with NPR’s Steve Inskeep, Moore said “I think that the answer cannot simply be, well, now we’ve just got to put everything back together.”
Moore divided the next president’s tasks into categories … like broken institutions that can’t be fixed and broken institutions that can be. “For example, I would take the pardon power away from the president and every single governor,” Moore said.
