Gavin Newsom: A Shadow Campaign in the Making?<\/h2>\n<p>As Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) traverses through red states during the Fourth of July festivities, his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/newsom-2024-speculation-grows-as-he-campaigns-in-red-states-candidate-in-waiting\/\" title=\"Newsom's 2024 buzz builds as he tours red states: 'Future candidate'\">actions raise eyebrows<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/speculation-soars-that-tiger-woods-could-play-in-masters-next-week\/\" title=\"Speculation Soars That Tiger Woods Could Play In Masters Next Week\">spark speculation<\/a> about his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/navarro-fauci-is-a-sociopath-must-be-held-accountable\/\" title=\"Navarro: Fauci is a sociopath, must be held accountable\">true intentions<\/a>. While he claims to be campaigning for President Joe Biden, many observers can&#8217;t help but notice the uncanny resemblance to a campaign of his own.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s putting in time and effort that no one else outside the White House appears to be,\u201d says Rob Stutzman, a Republican consultant in California. \u201cHe\u2019s acting like the candidate-in-waiting. Someday it may pay off for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Today, Newsom finds himself in Montana, enjoying a vacation with his family and engaging in private meetings with fellow Democrats. Earlier this week, he was in Idaho, and soon he&#8217;ll be heading to Utah. These states, known for their solid Republican support, have left many wondering about Newsom&#8217;s true motives.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his denials of any interest in the White House, Newsom&#8217;s passionate campaigning for LGBT rights and against &#8220;MAGA&#8221; Republicans in states beyond his jurisdiction has raised suspicions. Could he be positioning himself as a potential replacement for Biden if the need arises?<\/p>\n<p>In his speeches, Newsom consistently touches on familiar themes such as transgender issues and abortion access, emphasizing that Biden is the best choice to counter Republicans. While he claims he wouldn&#8217;t challenge Biden in a Democratic primary, he remains ambiguous about his own potential candidacy if the president were to step down.<\/p>\n<p>Biden himself faces challenges for the 2024 election, with polls showing relatively weak support against long-shot contenders like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Marianne Williamson. These numbers, including Kennedy&#8217;s 20% support in a recent CNN poll, have sparked speculation about the possibility of a more formidable opponent entering the race.<\/p>\n<p>During his visit to Idaho, Newsom urged Democratic voters to passionately advocate for Biden&#8217;s reelection, emphasizing the need for a compelling case.<\/p>\n<p>At 55 years old, Newsom is more than two decades younger than the current White House incumbent, which leads many to believe that he may be positioning himself for a potential run in either 2024 or 2028.<\/p>\n<p>A recent YouGov-Yahoo News survey even showed Newsom narrowly defeating former President Donald Trump in a hypothetical matchup, with 40% of the vote compared to Trump&#8217;s 39%. The same poll also indicated that Newsom would prevail over Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) with a 39% to 36% lead if they were to face off in the 2024 election.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gov.
