Addressing a crowd of supporters at the Van Buren Dems BBQ for Biden-Harris in South Haven, Michigan, Governor Newsom shared his experience representing the campaign in Georgia right after the debate. He acknowledged that things did not go as well as expected but emphasized his trust in President Biden’s character.
Governor Newsom, who has denied running a “shadow campaign” to replace Biden, was among the 20 Democratic governors who recently met with Biden at the White House.

During the meeting, Governor Newsom expressed confidence in President Biden’s abilities and recalled the Joe Biden he has known over the years. He highlighted the importance of supporting the President and reaffirmed his commitment to standing by Biden’s side in the upcoming election.
Governor Newsom’s proactive involvement in campaigning for the Biden-Harris ticket extends beyond Michigan, as he is set to headline a Democrat campaign event in New Hampshire. This move has sparked speculation about his potential role in the 2024 race, especially if Biden decides not to seek re-election.
Despite criticisms of Biden’s debate performance and questions about his mental acuity, Governor Newsom remains steadfast in his support for the President. He emphasized his loyalty to Biden and his belief in the President’s accomplishments and capabilities.
As the 2024 campaign trail heats up, Governor Newsom’s active participation in supporting President Biden underscores his commitment to the Democratic Party’s cause. With key swing states like New Hampshire in focus, Newsom’s presence on the campaign trail signals a unified effort to secure victory for the Democratic ticket.
In a political landscape filled with speculation and uncertainty, Governor Newsom’s resolute backing of President Biden serves as a testament to the strength of their alliance. As the election cycle progresses, Newsom’s role in championing the Democratic agenda will be closely watched, along with the evolving dynamics of the 2024 race.
