After meeting with Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris at the White House on Wednesday amid persistent questions about the president’s fitness for office and the status of his re-election campaign, several Democratic governors firmly voiced their support for the incumbent.
Minnesota’s Tim Walz, one of three governors who spoke to the press outside the White House following the meeting, led off by pointing to how Biden “had our backs through COVID, through all of the recovery, all the things that have happened.”
Now, he said, “the governors have his back and we are working together, just to make very, very clear on that—a path to victory in November is the number one priority, and that’s the number one priority of the president. So that’s what we’re trying to get done. The feedback was good. The conversation was honest and open, and the action that will come out of that, we will make sure we are getting the message out.”
