Rep. Jared Golden said Tuesday the November election is 'about the economy, not democracy.'
FILE - U.S. Rep. Jared Golden , D- Maine , speaks at a news conference, Nov. 1, 2022, at the Statehouse in Augusta, Maine .
“While I don’t plan to vote for him, Donald Trump is going to win. And I’m OK with that,” he wrote. “Democrats’ post-debate hand-wringing is based on the idea that a Trump victory is not just a political loss, but a unique threat to our democracy. I reject the premise. Unlike Biden and many others, I refuse to participate in a campaign to scare voters with the idea that Trump will end our democratic system.
This election is about the economy, not democracy,” Rep. Golden wrote. “And when it comes to our economy, our Congress matters far more than who occupies the White House.”
