dailyloe.com – Maryland Governor Wes Moore discussed the national economic impact of war and inflation in a CBS News interview set to air in April 2026. The Democratic governor spoke with senior White House correspondent Ed O’Keefe on April 3, 2026. He acknowledged residents are feeling significant financial pressure from rising costs.
Governor Moore stated governors cannot control spiking national energy prices or gas costs. He cited his own mother’s energy bill rising from $140 to nearly $500 in a year. Moore attributed part of the gas price increase to a ‘war of choice.’
The governor emphasized state-level actions to protect consumers from corporate price manipulation. He said Maryland is working to prevent big corporations from gouging customers on essentials like food. Moore also highlighted holding data center companies accountable for energy use.
He noted the state is providing rebates to help offset high energy costs for residents. The interview will be featured on the program ‘Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.’ This discussion comes amid reports of climbing mortgage rates and declining applications.[]
