This is the Friends of History Debating Society.

I'm John Bachel with my colleague and friend,

Thaddeus McCarter of American Greatness,

recovering politician, and I go to Thaddeus in Michigan

for rumors and gossip, I hear, on the campaign trail already.

And this is a wapper out of California.

Governor Newsom, Governor Gavin Newsom,

comes up through San Francisco and is now in his second term.

Was in Iowa over the July 4th holiday,

campaigning for Joe Biden.

He's a young, attractive, extremely well-connected Democrat,

leading the largest Democratic state,

following progressive trends that are popular

in other Democratic states.

And the gossip, rumor, whispering, shouting,

is that Gavin Newsom is ready to step in

when Joe Biden steps away from his reelection campaign.

Not only that, that Governor Newsom is looking to

name a vice presidential candidate quickly,

because it'll be late in the campaign cycle

and he'll have to hurry, fundraising, and hurry events

before the primaries begin in 24.
