is heading for the White House Wednesday for a Democratic governors meeting with embattled President Joe Biden.
The evening meeting is designed to show support from the governors for Biden, under fire for his lackluster debate performance June 27.
Newsom, a vocal Biden supporter, .has been repeatedly mentioned as a candidate to replace Biden should the president step down. He’s created the sort of fundraising infrastructure that prospective presidential candidates have used, and traveled the country trying to promote himself as a national party spokesman.
Democratic governors around the country have publicly rallied around the embattled president, and plan to meet with Biden Wednesday.
The governors participated in a conference call Monday organized by Minnesota Gov. Tom Walz, chairman of the Democratic Governors Association.
