Chicago – July 06, 2024
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey on Friday called for President Biden to evaluate whether he remains Democrats’ best shot to defeat former President Donald Trump, becoming the first Democratic governor to signal publicly the party might be better off with a different nominee.
Healey, a Biden ally, was one of 10 Democratic governors who met Wednesday with Biden at the White House while 14 other Democratic governors attended the meeting virtually.
“President Biden saved our democracy in 2020 and has done an outstanding job over the last four years. I am deeply grateful for his leadership. And I know he agrees this is the most important election of our lifetimes,” Healey said in a statement.
“The best way forward right now is a decision for the President to make. Over the coming days, I urge him to listen to the American people and carefully evaluate whether he remains our best hope to defeat Donald Trump,” she added.
