During a debate last night in California, Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom appeared to put an end to rumors that he was considering replacing Joe Biden in the White House if he opts to not run for a second term. Maybe. Possibly. Sort of. His opponent in the upcoming election, Republican businessman and state senator Brian Dahle, tossed out a comment accusing Newsom of being “focused on running for president.” One of the moderators took Dahle up on his invitation and asked Newsom directly whether he would commit to serving out his full, four-year term if he is reelected next month. Newsom simply answered “yes.” But given how much time he seems to spend sparring with Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis, he certainly sounds like someone with his eyes on the White House. Still, the Governor has drawn a line in the sand now, so perhaps we can take his name down off of the big board. (Associated Press)Read More
