Former Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) turned up unannounced at a meet-and-greet event in Baltimore last week for Prince George’s County Executive Rushern Baker (D), who is running for governor in 2018.
Dressed casually in jeans and an open-neck shirt and dripping wet from the rainstorm outside, O’Malley hugged Baker and showered him with praise, ticking off a list of weighty agenda items on which the two had collaborated.
“County Executive Baker would be an outstanding governor for this state,” O’Malley said.
But later, he made it clear that he was not ready to offer an endorsement just yet.
