Top Democrat Strategist Wants Newsom to Replace Biden in 2024

A top Democrat strategist wants California Governor Gavin Newsom to replace Joe Biden atop the ticket in 2024, Fox News reports.

Reports have been circulating that the Dems want Biden gone, and it has even been floated that Oprah take Biden’s place.

But now, Democrats are getting serious and suggesting solid replacements like Newsom.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom may be the Democratic Party’s strongest choice to run for president if President Joe Biden bows out, longtime party strategist David Axelrod says.

Axelrod, who served as former President Barack Obama’s chief strategist, made the comments in a Wednesday statement to The New York Times. The 2024 presidential race has been a burning question for Democrats, with no clear heir to Biden and many party members skeptical of whether the president could or should run for a second term.

“Newsom is young and politically muscular, which may be just what the market will be seeking post-Biden,” he added.

Democrats see Newsom as a good counter to Republicans running Ron DeSantis in 2024.

Biden has worked his whole life to become president, but it appears he never thought about what he’d do when he got there.
