Massachusetts Governor Healey Urges Biden to Reevaluate Reelection Bid After Debate Performance

Jul 5, 2024, 06:47 PM

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has publicly urged President Joe Biden to carefully evaluate his reelection bid following a damaging debate performance. Healey, a member of Biden’s national campaign advisory board and a top ally, emphasized the need for Biden to listen to the American people and consider whether he remains the best hope to defeat Donald Trump in the upcoming election. This statement, reported by The New York Times, marks a significant shift as Healey had previously been a strong supporter of Biden's campaign. Other Democratic leaders, including Representative Seth Moulton, have also called for Biden to step aside, reflecting growing concerns within the party about his viability as a candidate. Healey's comments came after a White House meeting on Wednesday.
