Gavin Newsom as a prime contender to succeed him, according to a new poll.
Biden has long been on tenuous political ground as Democrats report frustration with their president and cast about for an alternative. That situation that has created an opening for ambitious Democrats like Newsom, who has denied interest in seeking the presidency in 2024 while working diligently to enlarge his national profile.of California voters underscored the peril for Biden and potential for Newsom. A resounding 61 percent of voters surveyed online Aug.
Those obstacles have not prevented Newsom from working to cultivate a broader audience. With his November reelection all but assured, Newsom has diverted money and attention to assailing Republican governors. Those broadsides have fueled skepticism about Newsom’s claim to have “subzero interest” in a presidential run.
He took out ads attacking Republican Govs. Ron DeSantis of Florida and Greg Abbott of Texas in their home states. He spent part of this week tangling with Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey on Twitter, then assailed Ivey and Abbott during a Thursday press conference about juvenile mental health. In a sharp contrast to Democrats’ tepid views on Biden, Republican voters remain enthusiastic about former President Donald Trump even as California’s overall electorate rejected him. About two-thirds of California Republicans wanted Trump to run again, and the former president edged DeSantis as their top choice for 2024. Should Trump not run, DeSantis would be the clear frontrunner.
