Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear on Biden’s health: ‘We want to make sure he's doing OK’
Beshear, whose name has been floated as a possible replacement for the 81-year-old commander in chief on the Democratic presidential ticket, said during a CNN interview that Biden should be more open “about his health” in light of last week’s disastrous debate performance which the governor believes “hurt the campaign.”
“It a rough night, and regardless of polls that you see, it’s going to hurt the campaign,” he added. Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz organized a Monday night call of his fellow Democratic state leaders – none of whom had heard directly from Biden – to discuss the concerns about the president’s debate against former President Donald Trump.
“Joe Biden is our nominee, and ultimately that decision on continuing or not will fall to him and his family,” he said.“I don’t think that there’s anything wrong with asking the president to talk to the American people a little bit more about his health or that debate performance,” Beshear said.
