Maryland Gov. Wes Moore announced Wednesday a new book titled "Repair: Healing a Divided Nation" that will be released March 9, heightening speculation about a potential 2028 presidential bid.

The Democratic governor, who won reelection in a landslide last week, has repeatedly demurred on whether he plans to seek the White House while declining to commit to serving his full second term as governor. The book announcement follows a familiar pattern for aspiring national candidates.

Moore's publisher, Henry Holt & Co., described the work as an "honest assessment" of the country that offers a "path forward that leaves no one behind." The book draws on Moore's experiences in Maryland and his life of service, including his time in the military and prior to entering politics.

"We all know that things in this country feel pretty broken right now, so this book invites us to, together, solve the hard question: What do we do about it?" Moore said in a promotional video posted on social media. He added that the book is not intended as a personal political memoir but rather to pose hard questions and spark honest dialogue about rediscovering common humanity and purpose.

Moore, Maryland's first Black governor, previously authored two best-selling books before entering elected office, including "The Other Wes Moore." The new volume is scheduled to feature the governor on the cover rolling up his shirtsleeves.

Other potential 2028 Democratic contenders, such as Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, have also released or announced books in recent months. Moore has said he will not run for president in 2028, though experts note that such books often serve as precursors to campaigns.

The announcement comes as Moore maintains a high national profile, including through his efforts campaigning for other Democrats during the recent midterm elections.
