Maura Healey, Democratic Governor of Massachusetts, said in an interview with The New York Times that the Democrats placed former President Joe Biden as the party’s “communicator” and admitted it was hurt in the election.
She told The New York Times’ Lulu Garcia-Navarro that I think if I’m honest, he’s not the most powerful communicator because they’re not the most powerful communicator, which has hindered the party. He is not the most powerful communicator.
Healy urged the former president to eventually withdraw from the re-election campaign before recognizing former Vice President Kamala Harris, who “carefully evaluated” his path forward after his June debate performance, prompting many Democrats to demand Biden’s withdrawal.
She added: “Are we working on what’s going on and we have to deal with it now? You’d better believe it. We have Donald Trump in the White House. I think it’s hard for Kamala Harris to do a great campaign to be able to overcome her disadvantages in the time she’s allocated.”

“And I think if the president decided a few years ago that he was going to do what he said he was going to do, it was a term. Then we had a semester. Then we had the opportunity to be fully involved in the primary and the like. That didn’t happen. I had no interest in further spending, and had a more interest in it, re-examining the history of history. I focused on the present.”
Mike Donilon, one of Biden’s top advisers, recently said the former president should continue to play and called on the party to melt after his debate performance.
President Donald Trump recently revealed details of his conversation with the former president. Trump said Biden blamed Harris for election losses on former President Barack Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“I asked him, and I said, ‘Who are you blaming?’ Because he was angry, you know, he was actually a very angry person,” Trump told the audience. “He said, ‘I blame Barack.’ And I never think he was “Barack.” You know, you always hear “Obama.” You said, you have to think about it for a second.
