Gavin Newsom made one announcement on ABC that is causing absolute chaos
For months, there has been talk that Newsom could take over Biden’s role as the nominee. The chatter has thrust the governor right into the spotlight.
And now Gavin Newsom made one announcement on ABC that is causing absolute chaos.
On Sunday, ABC News host Jonathan Karl confronted California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom on his remark that President Joe Biden had “the best three-year record of any modern American presidency.”
Newsom added that he was trying to “lift up the issues, the successes — the extraordinary successes of the last three years, the Biden-Harris administration, and then we drive contrast.”
“It’s not even a complicated campaign. We have the receipts,” he explained.
“We have the best three-year record of any modern American presidency, period, full stop. And you look at the issue, issue by issue, they poll overwhelmingly, the American people support what Biden has done.”
“Except for the big thing, approval,” Karl explained.
“Biden’s approval is historically low. Why is that?”
Newsom avoided the topic, saying only that it has “been hard, globally, the last six, seven years.”
“The economic strategy, as this president’s put together, were all things Republicans dreamt of, but never delivered,” he added.
“He’s delivered.”
When Karl inquired about the unprecedented border issue that has occurred under the Biden administration, as well as what should happen to the millions of illegal aliens who have surged into the United States, Newsom once again avoided providing specifics and blamed Republicans.
“Well, I think you have to deal with the cards that are dealt. You’ve got to deal with the reality on the ground. And you have to have a comprehensive conversation around this, across the spectrum, the push and the pull,” he said.
“And that’s around the fundamental issue, immigration reform. It’s not just border security. The president put out a comprehensive strategy, a pathway to citizenship along with lines of their former hero, Ronald Reagan, to address the reality on the ground.”
“That’s what the president of the United States has put up in front of Congress,” he continued.
“And they refuse to act. They’re just promoting an agenda to disrupt and find a crowbar to put in the spokes of the wheels of the Biden administration to disrupt any progress on this because they don’t want progress, period.”
It looks like Newsom has put all of his eggs in the Biden basket.
Possibly in hopes of either getting an appointment in the administration or being the Democrats’ next choice in 2028.
