Dem MA Gov: Biden Should Consider Stepping Aside

Politico reports:

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey, a member of Biden’s national campaign advisory board who earlier this spring headlined a big-dollar fundraiser for him in Boston, said in a statement Friday that he should “carefully evaluate whether he remains our best hope to defeat Donald Trump.”

Biden “saved our democracy in 2020 and has done an outstanding job over the last four years,” Healey said in a statement released through her political arm Friday, breaking days of silence from the first-term governor of this deep-blue state that handed Biden one of his widest margins of victory in 2020.

Healey is the first Democratic governor to publicly nudge Biden toward exiting the presidential race as he struggles to recover from a disastrous debate performance last week that has the potential to doom his reelection bid.
