Biden Claims Democrat Governors Support Him as the Party’s Nominee: Report Suggests Mills is Concerned

President Joe Biden met with 20 of the country’s 23 Democrat governors on Wednesday night, either in person or online, and now claims that all the Democrat governors support him as the party’s nominee, despite growing calls for him to drop out of the race following his disaster debate performance.

“All participants reiterated their shared commitment to do everything possible to make sure President Biden and Vice President Harris beat Donald Trump in November,” said the Biden Campaign following the meeting.

The meeting, an attempt by Biden to reinforce support within his party, came in response to growing calls from mainstream media outlets and Democrat party insiders for President Biden to drop out of the presidential race.

One governor, Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.) who attended in person, seemingly confirmed the statement from Biden’s campaign and reiterated the support of Democrat governors for Biden’s re-election bid.

“All of us pledged our support to him, because the stakes could not be higher,” said Gov. Hochul.

A report from CBS news suggested that Gov. Mills, along with Gov. Michelle Grisham (D-N.M.) and Gov. Jared Polis (D-Color.), expressed concerns during the meeting, that Biden’s poor debate performance would ruin his chances of victory in their states.

During a watch party for the debate, however, Gov. Mills expressed her continuing support for Biden, reiterating the common Democrat talking point that Former President Donald Trump would destroy democracy if elected.

The Maine Wire reached out to Gov. Janet Mills (D-Maine) by phone and email, asking for confirmation on whether she will continue to support Biden as her party’s nominee, but she did not respond to requests for comment.

According to meeting participants who spoke to CBS, Biden informed the governors that he would no longer schedule events after 8 p.m. so he can get more sleep.

Despite bragging about how arduous of a schedule he maintains in an interview with George Stephanopoulos for ABC News on Friday, Biden did not have a single public event scheduled the Saturday after.

All Mills cares about is Democrat power.
She’s destroyed Maine in her rabid quest to retain and grow Democrat power here. Thank God she is term limited out!
Mills would burn Maine to the ground just to rule over the ashes! Thanks to Democrat Socialists like Mills and Joementia Brainfart, Maine will vote for Trump in November, and a Republican to replace Mills when her reign of terror is over!

The Mills administration secured state contracts for ballot drop boxes. I guess that should tell us how they plan on stealing the election.

This means nothing. Sure the Democrat governors will support him until the moment he is forced to step down.
