Gov. Maura Healey is set to attend a meeting with President Joe Biden and other Democratic governors in Washington, D.C. following Biden’s shaky debate performance. The meeting is seen as an opportunity for the president to reassure supporters worried about his ability to defeat Donald Trump in November. Healey, a super-surrogate for Biden’s campaign, previously criticized his debate performance but did not comment on whether he should step aside. The closed-door meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. in the White House’s Roosevelt Room.
State executives have discussed concerns about Biden’s performance during the debate, with Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz saying they expect the meeting to cover similar issues. The Massachusetts GOP has criticized Healey for not speaking up about Biden’s cognitive decline, while some Democrats, including State Rep. Mike Connolly, have called for Biden to end his re-election campaign to prevent Trump from returning to the White House.
Despite growing calls for him to withdraw, Biden has not indicated any plans to do so. The meeting in Washington is expected to address concerns about Biden’s performance and the challenges he faces in the upcoming election. Healey’s attendance highlights her support for the president’s campaign, even as questions about his ability to defeat Trump persist.
