Gavin Newsom: ‘Worry Less And Do More’ To Help Biden Win
Despite Alex Wagner’s best efforts, Gov. Gavin Newsom refused to accept her suggestions that it’s game over for President Biden’s candidacy. Because it’s the policies, stupid.
Wagner called Biden’s comments on abortion “garbled and undirected at best.”
Newsom responded, “I think it's significantly insignificant" because Americans support Biden's policies. "They don't support the policies of Donald Trump," he said, "or his assertions – somehow ‘The American people always wanted this to be states' rights,’ which was laughable and absurd.”
Newsom said he doesn’t think Biden’s debate performance will matter because in all the elections since Roe v. Wade was overturned, Democrats have been overperforming. “We keep winning and we have to keep our minds, he said. “So, I think for all of us, worry less and do more.”
“We have the opportunity to turn the page,” Newsom continued.” We have the opportunity to put our heads down. We have the opportunity to universally have the back of this president who's had our back. You don't turn your back. You go home with the one that brought you to the dance, 100 percent, all in.”
Wagner followed up by saying there’s a “panic that has set in” among Democrats, Democratic strategists “and some even inside Democratic campaigns” about whether Biden should step down. “Do you think it’s unfounded?” she asked.
