<p>California Governor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/gavin-newsom">Gavin Newsom</a> suggested in an interview that aired over the weekend that if for some reason President Joe Biden does not run for re-election in 2024 that Vice President Kamala Harris will be the person who represents the Democrat Party at the top of the ticket.</p>
<p>Newsom made the remarks in a Sunday interview with Chuck Todd on NBC News&#8217; &#8220;Meet The Press.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Filing deadlines haven&#8217;t passed. President Biden doesn&#8217;t run,&#8221; Todd said, &#8220;Why shouldn&#8217;t we consider you a likely candidate?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Well, I think the vice president is naturally the one lined up,&#8221; Newsom responded. &#8220;And the filing deadlines are quickly coming to pass. And I think we need to move past this notion that he&#8217;s not going to run. President Biden is going to run, and looking forward to getting him re-elected. I think there&#8217;s been so much wallowing in the last few months and handwringing in this respect. But we&#8217;re gearing up for the campaign. We&#8217;re looking forward to it.&#8221;</p>
<p>When asked what he tells donors who worry about Biden running, Newsom said that he tells them that it&#8217;s &#8220;time to move on.&#8221;</p>
<p>Newsom said that he was &#8220;a little old-fashioned&#8221; and that he believes that if something happened to Biden that Harris would be next in line since it&#8217;s the &#8220;Biden-Harris administration.&#8221;</p>
<p>He said that he and Harris have known each other for many years and have had an &#8220;extraordinarily close working relationship, including her time in the Senate.&#8221;</p>
<p>When asked about the possibility of running against each other, Newsom said he could not imagine doing so.</p>
<p>&#8220;Won&#8217;t happen. But we’ve – I&#8217;ve said that 1,000 times. We privately continue to maintain a very good relationship, interpersonal,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Just, &#8216;How are you doing? Checking in.&#8217; It&#8217;s been a challenging few years with COVID. And we&#8217;ve had the opportunity to sit down, have lunch together in the White House, spend time talking about important things –&#8221;</p>
<p>Newsom added that someone from Harris&#8217; office was upset with him for setting up a debate with Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis later this year.</p>
