California leftism is kind of how the Democratic Party operates," he said, claiming that"Biden may not be the candidate" and that Newsom may instead become the Democratic nominee. Newsom is widely talked about as a potential future presidential candidate, but he has shrugged off rumors that he would launch a primary challenge against Biden.told Chuck Todd in an interview
