Maryland Gov. Wes Moore is avoiding questions about his work at Citigroup during the Great Recession, including whether he received a bonus after the bank received a massive government bailout in the 2008 financial crisis. Some operatives believe that Moore's time at the bank could pose a vulnerability in his potential 2028 White House run. His tenure at the company, where he started in 2007 as an investment banker and later became a vice president, has been criticized by both the centrist and liberal factions of the Democratic Party and Moore's potential White House bid. A Moore spokesperson denied these allegations. Past presidential campaigns have targeted opponents for their connections to banks and other businesses.
