Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey urged President Joe Biden to "carefully evaluate" his chances for reelection in November falling a week of skepticism around the 81-year-old's campaign.

In a statement, which was first reported on by Politico's Lisa Kashinsky and later obtained by Newsweek, Healey, a Democrat, lifted up the president's performance over the past four years, saying that Biden "saved our democracy in 2020 and has done an outstanding job over the last four years."

"The best way forward right now is a decision for the President to make," Healey continued. "Over the coming days, I urge him to listen to the American people and carefully evaluate whether he remains our best hope to defeat [former President] Donald Trump."

"Whatever President Biden decides, I am committed to doing everything in my power to defeat Donald Trump," Healey added.
