Instead of competing against him,\u200c some of the \u2063party&#8217;s\u2063 brightest stars have rallied behind Biden, even raising funds on his behalf.<\/p>\n<h3>Democratic Governors Stand United<\/h3>\n<p>Governors Gavin Newsom (D-CA), Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI), J.B. Pritzker \u2063(D-IL), Tim Walz (D-MN), Josh Shapiro (D-PA), and \u2062Tony\u2062 Evers (D-WI) have all rejected calls to run against Biden.\u2063 Instead,\u200c they have become\u200d effective surrogates\u2063 for the president&#8217;s reelection campaign, with \u200bNewsom leading the \u200bway. While there has been speculation about Newsom&#8217;s potential 2024 run, he has denied it\u200d and is actively raising money for Biden \u2064through\u200b his PAC, Campaign for Democracy. Newsom will\u2064 even debate presidential\u200c candidate Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL)\u2062 in November, defending \u200cBiden&#8217;s record and\u2064 vision for the country.<\/p>\n<p>These prominent\u2063 politicians are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-keeps-challengers-at-bay-how-president-secured-support-from-rising-democratic-stars\/\" title=\"Biden maintains control as he gains backing from emerging Democratic leaders.\">committed team\u200d players<\/a> in\u200d the\u2064 Democratic operation, prioritizing the party&#8217;s best chance of winning in 2024. They believe that\u2064 a primary battle\u2062 against the\u2064 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-no-need-for-trump-to-still-receive-intelligence-briefings\/\" title=\"Biden: \u2018No Need\u2019 For Trump To Still Receive Intelligence Briefings\">incumbent president<\/a> would not put the party in the strongest position.<\/p>\n<p>Whitmer, another governor seen \u2063as a \u200dfuture\u2062 leader of the party, has repeatedly expressed her support\u2064 for Biden&#8217;s 2024 campaign. Despite being portrayed as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/5-fun-facts-about-failed-national-security-adviser-jake-sullivan\/\" title=\"5 Fun Facts About Failed National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan\">potential future president<\/a>\u2062 in magazine profiles, she is \u200cusing her newly launched Fight Like Hell PAC to raise \u2064funds for Biden.<\/p>\n<p>Walz, also considered a possible future Democratic nominee, made an\u2063 appearance at the \u200cIowa State Fair to campaign for Biden. Republican presidential candidates \u2063were also present, making their cases to voters. Walz\u2062 reaffirmed his commitment to the party&#8217;s \u2063effort to reelect Biden after a call from Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) for a &#8220;moderate governor&#8221; to run\u200d in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Pritzker, during his\u200d visit to the Illinois State \u200bFair, reiterated his support for Biden, emphasizing that\u2064 Biden and Vice President\u2062 Kamala Harris are the best \u200bchoices for the \u200ccountry. He \u200ddismissed questions\u2063 about his own 2024\u200d run, stating that he is fully dedicated to \u200dfighting for Biden and Harris.<\/p>\n<h3>Unified \u200cSupport Benefits Biden<\/h3>\n<p>This unified support from rising stars within the Democratic Party has greatly benefited Biden&#8217;s campaign. It has expanded his fundraising operation, with local allies boosting him \u200cwhile he focuses\u2062 on his presidential responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the presence\u2062 of primary challengers Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Marianne Williamson, who have not made significant impacts in the polls, the majority\u2062 of likely Democratic primary\u2062 voters continue to express their support for Biden.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that \u200dRFK Jr. has faced criticism for his popularity among Republicans \u2062and \u200bfor hiring \u200da Republican \u200dstate \u2062representative for his campaign in New Hampshire.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden has successfully fended off primary challenges in 2024, despite age-related concerns.
