(Annapolis, MD) -- Maryland's Democratic Governor Wes Moore has issued a statement on the inauguration of Donald Trump as the nation's 47th president.

The governor says the priority of the state is to deliver for Marylanders, defend constitutional rights, grow the economy, and restore faith in public servants, institutions, and democracy.

Moore thanked the Biden-Harris administration for its partnership in pursuing those goals and the state will partner with the Trump-Vance administration when aligned on the core principles that will make progress for Marylanders.

The governor ended his statement by saying " we pray for God's grace as our state and nation open this next chapter."
