Newsom to Biden: I'll run if you don't

California governor Gavin Newsom (D.) is dead-set on running for president in 2024 if President Joe Biden doesn’t seek a second term, according to a Monday report from the Wrap. …

Buzz about Newsom’s presidential aspirations comes as Biden backtracked this week on his commitment that he would run in 2024, saying “it’s much too early to make that kind of decision.” Some Democratic Party insiders have also reportedly suggested the president should not seek another term.

“No ifs, ands or buts. He will run if Biden does not,” one California fundraiser connected to the Newsom family told the Wrap.
