Walz continues to support President Biden after meeting with fellow Democratic governors

“WASHINGTON — After a meeting at the White House Wednesday, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said President Biden is "fit for office" even as some fellow Democrats called for him to withdraw from the race amid concerns about his poor debate performance.

Walz, chair of the Democratic Governors Association, joined several of his Democratic colleagues leading states across the country — some in-person, some virtually — to speak with the president directly. He and Govs. Wes Moore of Maryland and Kathy Hochul of New York addressed reporters following their discussion and pledged their support.

"He has had our backs through COVID, through all of the recovery, all the things that have happened. The governors have his back," Walz said. "We're working together. Just to make very, very clear on that: A path to victory in November is the number one priority. And that's the number one priority of the President."”
