Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey (D) has called on President Biden to “carefully evaluate” his candidacy as concerns about his ability to win the election persist, despite his team insisting he won’t step aside.
In a statement obtained by NBC News, Healey said Biden saved democracy by winning the 2020 election, and that this year’s is “the most important election of our lifetimes.”
Healey was one of several Democratic governors to meet with the president Wednesday evening to discuss the future of the party after his lackluster debate performance a week prior that left many of his supporters in a panic.
Several governors released statements supporting Biden and his candidacy. Healey’s was less explicit.
“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,” Healey said.
The Massachusetts governor, who took office in 2023 after nearly eight years as state attorney general, said she is committed to doing “everything in my power to defeat Donald Trump,” no matter what Biden chooses.
Healey’s fellow Massachusetts lawmaker, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), became the third House Democrat on Wednesday to publicly call on Biden to step down from the race.
Healey’s statements contrast those of other governors in the meeting and signal she is the first Democratic governor to suggest Biden should consider stepping aside to allow someone else the chance to beat former President Trump.

When he finally DOES step aside, it's gonna be so quick he and everybody within 10 feet will get whiplash.
Hang on Joe!!
Oh, the governor, not the wacky wokey Boston Mayor Michelle Wu. In which case I would have said:
“Et tu, Wu?”
Debates work great for Democratic lawyer candidates, usually.
I suspect that Biden is threatening to pardon Trump if the leftist DP pushes him too hard.
