Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is campaigning. The only question is for whom.
Newsom is trekking through red states on and around the Fourth of July, stumping for President Joe Biden, but many observers note that his activities look eerily similar to a shadow campaign of his own.“He’s putting in time and effort that no one else outside the White House appears to be,” Rob Stutzman, a Republican consultant in California, told the Los Angeles Times this week. “He’s acting like the candidate-in-waiting. Someday it may pay off for him.
The California governor denies that he's interested in the White House, instead saying he's simply stumping for Biden. But the fierce campaigning for LGBT rights and against"MAGA" Republicans in states outside his own jurisdiction have politicos wondering if Newsom wants to take the mantle if for some reason Biden is unable to run.
Biden has 2024 problems of his own, polling at relatively weak levels against long-shot challengers Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Marianne Williamson. Those numbers — Kennedy drew 20% support in a recent CNN poll — have some wondering if a more serious competitor could be lured off the sidelines.
