‘We Need to Change Something’: Dem Governor Open to Replacing Biden on Ticket, Warns Party Is Losing Right Now

Colorado Governor Jared Polis (D) took questions after closing the National Governors Association summer meeting Friday and weighed in on President Joe Biden’s floundering campaign.

“It’s been a little over a week since you attended a meeting with other Democratic governors across the nation about what Democrats need to do to win in November. So following that conversation, do you believe that Democrats can win in November if President Biden remains at the top of the ticket?” Polis was asked by local Colorado reporter Gabrielle Franklin.

“Well, of course, Democrats can win in November. It’s a very close election. I think it’s also fair and objective to say, yes, that, President Biden is behind, not by a lot, but he is behind the elections today, we would likely lose,” Polis replied, adding:

Well, I think this means that we need to change something as a strategy to protect freedom, protect our democracy. We need to look at what that strategy is. Does it mean changing the campaign strategy, campaign message, the candidate? All of these things are being discussed.

I want to make sure that we put our very best foot forward to protect, our democracy going forward, which includes, of course, support for NATO, and global world order, the policies and the progress we’ve achieved the last four years. So, again, when you’re behind, it doesn’t mean you give up. It means you figure out what you need to change to come back and get ahead.
