Opinion: Is Gavin Newsom a realistic presidential candidate in 2024?
The escalating public feud between California Governor Gavin Newsom and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis leads one to wonder if we’re witnessing a precursor to the 2024 presidential election.
By going after DeSantis – whose star is on the rise within the Republican Party, as he is quickly becoming the 2024 pick of establishments and elites – Newsom is clearly working to distinguish himself as a top contender for 2024 in the absence of another clear Democratic candidate. Of course, Newsom running for president in 2024 is entirely dependent on President Biden not seeking a second term, which is becoming increasingly likely.
It is not unreasonable to say that Newsom could fare well in a Democratic primary contest, depending on the other candidates in the field. Not only is he governor of the largest state, but he is a political fighter – a trait that Democrats are desperately seeking in light of the let downs of the Biden Administration, as well as the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Clearly, Newsom is trying to show Democrats that he is not only speaking to the cultural issues they care most about, but moreover, is ready to take the fight to the Republicans – and DeSantis is indeed the perfect political foil for Newsom.
