California Governor Gavin Newsom recently addressed speculation about his potential support for Vice President Kamala Harris in the event that President Biden drops out of the 2024 race. During an appearance at the Van Buren County Democratic Party's Fourth of July reception in South Haven, Michigan, Newsom avoided directly answering the question, emphasizing his focus on progress and avoiding distractions.
Newsom expressed reluctance to engage in hypothetical scenarios, stating that such speculation could hinder the momentum gained from recent events. While pundits have suggested Newsom as a possible alternative to Biden, he refrained from affirming his support for Harris, calling the question a distraction that plays into the hands of the Republican Party.
