He added that he’s unsure whether Vice President Harris could beat Trump, either.Asked whether he believes there is a Democrat who could prevail over Trump, Golden said, “I don’t know who can beat Trump in this current moment.”
Golden, who sits in a district Trump won by roughly seven points in 2020, predicted that Biden would lose his Republican-leaning House district in November by a margin larger than Hillary Clinton did in 2016. He warned that a major loss in his district could be a warning sign for other vulnerable Democrats who have voted with the Biden agenda more often than he has.
Golden’s decision to speak out was not meant to coincide with Doggett’s. Though he did not watch the debate, Golden Golden’s message to his party goes beyond his warning about Biden and directly against a core argument Democrats are making. The Maine Democrat acknowledges the need to run local races but said he’s concerned that Democrats may be too keen on attacking Trump as a threat to democracy. He says, rather, that Democrats should be focusing on how their constituents are feeling economically and socially.
