Congressman Moulton expresses 'grave concerns' about Biden's ability to beat Trump in election

Source: Yahoo News/Boston 25 News

In a statement released Wednesday, Massachusetts Congressman Seth Moulton says he’s concerned about the current status of the presidential race, especially as it pertains to the age of President Joe Biden.

“I deeply respect President Biden and all the great things he has done for America, but I have grave concerns about his ability to defeat Donald Trump,” the Democratic congressman said. “When your current strategy isn’t working, it’s rarely the right decision to double down. President Biden is not going to get younger.”

The comments come as several Democrats rushed to meet with Biden after his shaky debate performance, including Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey. The meeting was expected to address concerns about the debate.

President Biden was quoted earlier Wednesday saying, “No one is pushing me out...I am running. I am the leader of the Democratic Party.”

I will note that this is the third former 2020 Democratic presidential primary rival to come out with "concerns" about Biden… I find that to be an interesting pattern.

1. Ok , then publicly endorse the VP

31. Hey, maybe he's hoping to get

Dean Phillips back in the race! After all, he did SO well in the primaries, LOL!

2. Shakespeare called it. "the lean and hungry look"

3. I have grave concerns that Seth Moulton doesn't know WTF to be concerned about.

There is a party actively working to destroy democracy and install a convicted felon as dictator.

6. Yes.

Thanks

9. It's insane for anyone to look at Biden's record vs. project2025 and be concerned about Biden!

STFU buddy

[Freethinker65]

4. Wow. Cut this ageist SOB loose.

This talk will do more damage to Democrats in the upcoming election than Biden ever would.

Yikes.

[Think. Again.]

5. I suspect he's very well aware that...

...changing candidates at this stage would assure a loss in November, so I have to question his motives too.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

7. I too, have "grave concerns" about Congressman Moulton's loyalty's and committment to our

party's nominee.
In other words, fuck off, Congressman Moulton.

8. Note to self: add this ageist idiot to phone list.

[EarthFirst]

Trying to get attention and be relevant. What a twit.

[LeftInTX]

14. I get to run for president at the convention!!! I don't have to raise filing fees! I don't have run in primaries!

I don't have to fundraise to win the nomination! Easy peasy!
What a crock of s____

Moulton officially announced his candidacy on April 22, 2019.[65] On August 23, he suspended his campaign and withdrew from the race.[66][7] During his campaign, Moulton never polled above 2% in any Democratic presidential opinion poll, and was therefore not invited to the first two Democratic presidential debates, having failed to meet the criteria for invitation.[67]

15. I do believe he is the last person who should be giving anyone campaign advice...

Along with the other 2020 primary candidates who had dismal results.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

23. I remember him now.

[The Magistrate]

16. He Tried To Oust Speaker Pelosi

So far none of the people coming out with this swill have been really part of the team in the first place.

[emulatorloo]

30. Yep, same with Tim Ryan. So transparent.

[LiberalFighter]

18. Does he think it will help him in any future presidential election?

It won't.

It appears that he attempted to prevent Nancy Pelosi from being speaker. He was one 32 votes against her.

He appears to the disruptive type within the party.

[Butterflylady]

19. Wow, I won't say what I'm thinking.

But I chuckled.....that he thinks rump can win.

[Aussie105]

21. No guarantees. Most people will have concerns.

Elections are there for people to express their choice.

Hopefully intelligence wins out over stupidity.

Don't you just hate people who go . . . I see a problem . . . then walk away without stating their version of a solution?

DINO. Democrat in name only?

[Sucha NastyWoman]

22. Oh, him again.
