California Governor Gavin Newsom, a key supporter of President Biden, has been campaigning in battleground states like Michigan and Pennsylvania. Newsom's name has been mentioned as a potential replacement for Biden should the need arise for an open convention. However, when asked about the possibility of running for president himself, Newsom dismissed the idea, emphasizing the importance of focusing on promoting Biden's candidacy.
During a recent event in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, Newsom criticized the prospect of a second term for former President Trump, calling it 'America in reverse.' He highlighted the Biden-Harris administration's economic achievements and expressed his commitment to supporting Biden's re-election bid.
Newsom's public statements come amidst growing speculation about Biden's candidacy, with concerns raised about his age and mental fitness. Despite calls for him to step aside, Biden has reaffirmed his determination to continue running for president, citing his track record and experience.
When questioned about his unwavering support for Biden despite dissenting voices within the Democratic Party, Newsom defended his stance, stating that the majority of party members stand firmly behind the president. He praised Biden's leadership qualities and expressed confidence in his ability to lead the country.
Newsom emphasized the significance of the upcoming election, framing it as a choice between progress and regression, light and darkness, competence and chaos. He urged supporters to safeguard democracy by voting for Biden and Harris, highlighting key issues such as voting rights, civil rights, LGBTQ rights, and women's rights.
As Biden prepares to address the public in Philadelphia, Newsom's active involvement in the campaign reflects his dedication to advancing the Democratic agenda and securing another term for the current administration.
