The hour-long forum at Morgan State University offered Cox what he described as a “historic” opportunity to make a pitch to young Black voters on their own turf.
Moore spent Wednesday morning launching a tour of the state’s historically Black colleges and universities with a visit to the University of Maryland Eastern Shore in rural Maryland.
Cox was asked about a dozen questions on abortion access, election integrity, critical race theory and gender identity, the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and on funding for HBCUs. Cox, who has described the 2020 presidential election as “stolen,” would not commit to accepting the results of his own contest in November.“I believe very firmly in making sure that our system works. I don’t believe in changing the rules midstream,” he said.
When asked how he reconciles believing people should not have to take a coronavirus vaccine with believing women should not be able to choose abortion, Cox tried to pivot:“Right now the issue before us is not so much these moral debates that we’ve had so long, which everyone knows I’m pro-life; the issue is whether or not we can put food on our children’s tables and have an opportunity here in Maryland,” he said.
After the forum, Ederson approached Cox to ask him about his plans to address homelessness. He ultimately decided he could not vote for Cox, citing a “lack of accountability regarding Jan. 6 that he refuses to accept … and his [nonacceptance of] trans people as citizens, referring to them as biological men or women.”
