Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is hitting the campaign trail to meet with Democrats in Republican-heavy states to help motivate voter turnout among his party in the 2024 elections.
The only catch? Newsom isn’t looking to churn out votes for himself. Rather, he’s aiming to boost President Joe Biden as he seeks reelection to the White House.Newsom set out on a multistate trip during the holiday weekend, telling Democratic voters in Idaho they must work to provide a “powerful case for why we should be passionate, enthusiastic about Biden’s reelection.
“I’m really proud of this president, and I hope you are as well,” Newsom said, according to the Los Angeles Times. Newsom has repeatedly denied any plans to run for president, noting his campaign travel is solely to promote Biden’s reelection and other Democrats on the 2024 ballot. But his presence has attracted attention from Democratic voters during his state visits, helping to build a name recognition that could benefit him later on.
The trip comes as Newsom’s national recognition has soared in recent months, with polls showing he is a strong contender for the Democratic presidential nomination if he were to enter. A recent YouGov-Yahoo News survey showed Newsom narrowly defeating former President Donald Trump in a hypothetical matchup, 40% to 39%.
