"Look, I think..." he said, before pausing momentarily. "I'd do a B. He's working with a very left-leaning Legislature. He's done the best he could."

"I'm not a teacher. I'm not going to give grades," she said. "I will tell you Governor Baker's done a really good job."
The two candidates were also asked what they're not looking forward to if elected.
Healey again ducked the question. "I'm just here to ask voters for their support," she said. "There's going to be a lot of challenges, I'll tell you that."
"I'm looking forward to the challenges, because there are a lot of them ahead of us," Diehl added. "I'm not looking forward to time away from family."
