Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has issued a warning to fellow Republicans, advising them to prepare for the possibility of California Governor Gavin Newsom emerging as a Democratic presidential nominee in the near future. DeSantis’ comments come amid growing speculation about the Democratic Party’s future and potential contenders.
DeSantis expressed his concerns, stating, “They’re trying to push Biden out. When you see Obama flunkies out there [criticizing Biden]… Newsom, clearly, is somebody that’s hovering there.”
The remark from DeSantis underscores the uncertainty surrounding the Democratic Party’s leadership and future presidential candidates. Newsom, who recently survived a recall election in California, has gained prominence both in the state and on the national stage. His policies and political trajectory have fueled speculation about his presidential ambitions.
DeSantis’ warning comes as Republicans are closely monitoring developments within the Democratic Party, looking for potential rivals in the 2024 presidential election. With the Democratic Party considering its options amid President Joe Biden’s approval ratings, Gavin Newsom’s potential candidacy is one that Republicans are being urged to be prepared for.
The 2024 presidential race is still shrouded in uncertainty, but DeSantis’ message serves as a reminder that political dynamics can shift rapidly in the ever-evolving landscape of American politics.
