Wes Moore projected to win Maryland's Democratic primary for governor

CBS News projects that Wes Moore wins the Democratic nomination in Maryland's governor's race, and will take on Trump-backed Dan Cox in November, who was projected to win the Republican primary. 

Moore, an author and nonprofit executive, defeated a crowded primary field that included former labor secretary and DNC chair Tom Perez and comptroller Peter Franchot. If Moore wins in November, he will be the state's first Black governor. 

Moore wasted no time in taking on Cox, who has spread the baseless claims that former President Donald Trump won the 2020 election and has amplified the QAnon conspiracy theory.
