California Gov. Gavin Newsom told NewsNation he will not be making a 2024 presidential run and will instead continue to back President Joe Biden. “I have deep respect, reverence for Joe Biden as a person, his character, his decency and his capacity to do great things,” Newsom said on “CUOMO.” “That’s why. I’m not worthy of that conversation. This guy deserves it, and we as members of the party deserve to have his back.” #politics #Democrats #GavinNewsom
