California Governor Gavin Newsom says that it is time to “move on” from speculation that he would be a presidential aspirant if Joe Biden doesn’t run for president.
Appearing on Chuck Todd’s final stint as the moderator of Meet the Press on Sunday, Newsom was asked why he wouldn’t be a likely candidate if Biden decides to withdraw.
“Well, I think the vice president is naturally the one lined up and the filing deadlines are quickly coming to pass and I think we need to move past this notion that he’s not going to run,” Newsom said. “President Biden is going to run, and I am looking forward to getting him reelected. I think there’s been so much wallowing in the last few months, and handwringing in this respect. But we’re gearing up for the campaign. We’re looking forward to it.”
When Todd pressed him on it, Newsom said, “Time to move on. Let’s go.”
The speculation about Biden has been amped up by recent dismal polling, showing voters’ concerns about his age and a tight race for reelection even if Donald Trump is the Republican nominee.
Todd also asked Newsom about his relationship with Harris, asking him if he can envision running against her in a Democratic primary.
“Of course not. By definition. Won’t happen. I’ve said that 1,000 times. We privately continue to maintain a very good relationship, interpersonal. Just, ‘How are you doing? Checking in.’ It’s been a challenging few years with Covid. And we’ve had the opportunity to sit down, have lunch together in the White House, spend time talking about important things…and trivial things.”
Newsom also said that he hasn’t heard from Harris that she is upset over his plans to debate Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, with Fox News’ Sean Hannity as moderator. Newsom said that

letter accompanying his veto of Assembly Bill 957, sponsored by Assemblywoman Lori Wilson (D-Suisun City), Newsom said that while he appreciated the “passion and values” that led Wilson to propose the bill, he could not sign the bill.“I share a deep commitment to advancing the rights of transgender Californians, an effort that has guided my decisions through many decades in public office,” Newsom said in the statement.“That said, I urge caution when the Executive and Legislative branches of state government attempt to dictate — in prescriptive terms that single out one characteristic — legal standards for the Judicial branch to apply. Other-minded elected officials, in California and other states, could very well use this strategy to diminish the civil rights of vulnerable communities.”Newsom added that courts are already required to consider a child’s health, safety, and welfare when determining the best interests of a child, including whether a parent affirms their child’s gender identity.
