California Gov. Gavin Newsom joined 23 other Democrat governors at the White House in a meeting with President Biden, following the fallout from Biden's performance in the first presidential debate against Donald Trump. Newsom expressed his support for Biden, stating, 'I heard three words from the President tonight -- he’s all in. And so am I.'
The meeting was part of a planned gathering between President Biden and Democrat governors from various states. Speculation had arisen about Biden's ability to continue in the race after his debate blunders, with rumors suggesting pressure from top Democratic lawmakers for him to step down. Newsom, a prominent figure in Democratic politics, has been mentioned as a potential replacement for Biden, although he has publicly affirmed his loyalty to the current President.
Despite his presence at the meeting, Newsom did not address the press afterward. Instead, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, along with Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, took the lead in speaking to reporters.
