Gavin Newsom Says Democrats Have Improved Their Messaging Ahead Of Presidential Race
HuffPost
The California governor had previously criticized his fellow party members for not "doing enough" against the Republican Party.
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) said Democrats are striking the right tone against Republicans ahead of the 2024 presidential race as he campaigned for President Joe Biden in South Carolina last week ahead of the Feb. 3 primary.
During an appearance on ABC’s “This Week” that was broadcast Sunday, Newsom spoke with reporter Jonathan Karl, who referenced a recent remark the governor made about the Democratic Party. While appearing on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher” earlier this month, Newsom explained why he debated Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) in November, saying he felt Democrats weren’t “doing enough.”
“You said you did it because you didn’t think Democrats were fighting hard enough. Does that include the Biden administration?” Karl asked.
“That was a year and a half ago, now I don’t feel that way anymore,” Newsom said.
The California governor added that the Supreme Court’s decision to gut Roe v. Wade was a “wake-up call” for his party, noting that both Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have been clearly laying out what’s at stake if Donald Trump returns to the White House, including in regard to abortion rights.
