Rep. Jared Golden, a Democrat from Maine, recently shared his perspective on President Biden's debate performance and the upcoming 2024 presidential election. In an op-ed column, Golden expressed that Biden's debate performance did not surprise him and did not cause him as much concern as it did for others. Golden confidently stated that he believes Donald Trump will win the 2024 election, a prediction he claims to have held for months.
Golden made it clear that he does not intend to vote for Trump but is accepting of the potential outcome. He emphasized that he does not subscribe to the notion that Trump's victory would threaten democracy, highlighting that the United States has endured more significant challenges in the past.
Golden's op-ed follows a similar sentiment expressed by Rep. Lloyd Doggett, a Democrat from Texas, who recently called on President Biden to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. Doggett criticized Biden for failing to defend his record and reassure voters of his capabilities during the recent debate.
These statements from Democratic representatives reflect a growing sentiment within the party regarding concerns about Biden's performance and the potential for a Trump victory in the next election. The differing opinions among party members underscore the complex dynamics at play as the political landscape continues to evolve.
