Governor. Gavin Newsom has defended President Joe Biden as an energetic, competent and confident leader, in stark contrast to President Donald Trump during first Presidential debate during the 2024 general election.
Newsom, who’s believed to be a potential candidate for the presidency in 2028 has been chosen as a Biden surrogate before the November presidential election in the time that Biden was a presidential candidate for president a second time to defeat Trump.
Biden campaign Biden campaign tried to clear doubts about the 81-year-old’s abilities and age in his Debate. However, after Biden often fell and stumbled throughout the debate, telecast networks revealed they believed Democratic agents were concerned about the Biden’s ability to run an effective campaign.
Following the debate, Newsom dismissed concerns about Biden’s performance, saying “we’ve all had those nights” and also that Biden has frequently pushed back on criticisms about the age of his supporters.
“He never quits. He never gives up fighting for us fighting for democracy, our next children, our grandchildren. We need to get this back in this regard. Also, I do would like to see him return and that it’s on stage for another event,” said he said to MSNBC’s Alex Wagner in a post-debate interview.
Newsom was previously thought as a possible candidate for the 2028 election. But, after Biden’s disastrous performance during the debate the governor of Newsom’s 56 years was advertised on various media outlets as a possible replacement to Biden for Biden’s Democratic ticket.
Reince Priebus ex-chair of the Republican National Committee, told ABC’s David Muir Democratic figures including Newsom and Michigan Governor. Gretchen Whitmer are “probably waiting by the phone” after Biden’s performance.
However, Newsom remained a staunch fan for Biden.
“We must have the back of the President of the United States, Joe Biden, at this critical moment,” Biden declared. “And put your focus on the future and the future and focus on the plan that is going to get this nation to move forward. “
“(Trump) wants to bring us back to pre 1960s world (regarding) voting rights, civil rights, LGBTQ rights, women’s rights, access to contraception,” Trump stated. “That’s the issue we need to talk about. That’s what’s on the ballot, as well as the future of democracy, our fate and what the future holds for our nation. “
In the days leading to the debate, Newsom declared in the lead-up to debate that “President Biden is confident. He has a track record and a plan towards the near future.” However Newsom was adamant about Trump’s use in name calling in the context of “the rise in the maturation that has been exhibited by Donald Trump as he’s gotten older. “
Newsom has also been criticized for her opposition to “weaponization of clips” of the President skipping his words or crashing during public events.
Recently, for incident, CNN anchor Erin Burnett inquired of Newsom about a footage from a Hollywood event that showed Former president Barack Obama grabbing Biden’s hand to get him off the his stage. Newsom was quoted as saying his position was “four feet away” from the stage, and he stood for Obama, and said the president had been out and about for hours, and had just returned from a excursion to the G7 gathering at Italy.
Responding to questions regarding his praises of his cooperation and support of Trump in times of emergency, such as COVID-19, as well as fires in the wilderness, Newsom said the he would “work with anyone who wants to advance the cause of this country, my state and the world we’re trying to build,” however Newsom also said that Trump “delivered due to the fact that we had to travel a long distance to kiss the ring. “
However the relationship has deteriorated since Trump was ousted from office, the president said.
“He’s calling me Newscum,” the governor said in reference to Trump. “I am convinced that that my student from 7th grade has been calling him Newscum. That’s the increasing growth of Donald Trump as he’s gotten older. “
Biden was questioned on his record as a Biden regarding immigration and the amount of illegal crossings at the border over the past several weeks. Biden also asserted that the congressional Republicans are guilty of sabotaging a immigration deal which was bipartisan in the after Trump declaring its ineffectiveness.
It’s a “failure of Congress to work with the President of the United States,” Biden Biden. He specifically focused upon Republican Speaker Mike Johnson. “(Biden) proposed a plan, but they refused to compromise. “
Newsom who is a self-described border govt. said that border crossings are decreasing in the wake of Biden has taken an executive order to restrict immigration.
Democratic Rep. Robert Gargia of Long Beach was also in attendance as a Biden surrogate during the debate.
