Gov. Gavin Newsom<\/span> remains steadfastly committed to the Biden-Harris 2024 presidential ticket, despite admitting during an Independence Day Democratic campaign event in Michigan that the presidential debate against former President Donald Trump “did not go as well” as Biden had hoped. <\/p>\n “I was asked and tasked by President Biden,<\/span> proudly, to fly from California to Georgia to represent the campaign right after that debate,” Newsom told a crowd of supporters at the Van Buren Dems BBQ for Biden-Harris in South Haven, Michigan, on Thursday. <\/p>\n “I had a lot of talking points in mind, you may have noticed if you saw me, I didn’t bring them with me.
