Gavin Newsom aligns with Joe Biden for 2028 presidential primary

Gavin Newsom is strategically aligning himself with Joe Biden in anticipation of the 2028 presidential primary, a move that contrasts with other potential Democratic candidates. Newsom has consistently defended Biden's legacy and character, even hosting Hunter Biden on his podcast and praising the administration's policy achievements. This public support for Biden appears to be a calculated effort to appeal to Democratic voters, particularly those who hold affection for the former president, while simultaneously differentiating himself from rivals like Kamala Harris, who has expressed criticism of Biden's decision to seek re-election.
