Sen. John Fetterman Accuses Gov. Gavin Newsom of Running Undeclared Presidential Campaign Against Biden

Newsom's political maneuvers and high-profile public trips fuel speculation, despite his consistent denials and stated support for President Biden, with observers pointing to a potential 2024 or 2028 run for presidency.

Sen. John Fetterman accused Gov. Gavin Newsom of running a covert presidential campaign, despite Newsom's repeated denials and professed support for President Biden.
Fetterman criticized Newsom's failure to publicly acknowledge his assumed ambition, contrasting with Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips who announced his bid for the presidency openly.
Besides his political maneuvers, Newsom's high-profile trips, including a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing, have increased speculation about his presidential intentions.
Despite Newsom's denial of presidential aspirations, he has agreed to publicly debate Republican presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, further stoking speculations.
Newsom's intensified public activities precede a challenging period for the Democratic Party as recent polls indicate President Biden is trailing former President Trump, increasing the importance of potential Democratic challengers.
