California governor stands by president, says Golden State has most to lose if Trump wins in November
President Joe Biden speaks during a visit to AFL-CIO headquarters, Wednesday, July 10, 2024, in Washington, as AFL-CIO president Liz Shuler, right, listens. California Gov. Gavin Newsom reiterated his support Wednesday for President Biden to remain the Democratic nominee for president even as other top Democrats and their supporters cast doubt on Biden’s future and called for him to step aside.
“There were record crowds, unprecedented crowds of support for the president of the United States,” Newsom said. “I had 100 media outlets asking the same question, and I think I amply answered my support for the president. The support I saw on the ground was demonstrable.” House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, said “it’s up to the president to decide” if he should stay in the race. “I want him to do whatever he decides to do,” Pelosi said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” rather than declaring that Biden should stay in. While Biden has said repeatedly that he’s made his decision, she said, “We’re all encouraging him to make that decision, because time is running short.
Newsom also said that the outcome of the presidential race is particularly key for California on issues from the environment to women’s rights. Abortion rights activists had asked the Louisiana House to approve a bill to add a rape and incest exception for children under 17 to the state’s near-total abortion ban. Republicans who control the chamber voted no.
