California Governor Gavin Newsom recently commented on the Democratic Party's rapid nomination of Vice President Kamala Harris to replace President Joe Biden, expressing skepticism about the process during a podcast appearance. He humorously critiqued the 'bottom-up' approach touted by the party, sarcastically stating, 'That’s what I’ve been told to say' while describing the event as a 'blitz primary.' Newsom acknowledged the quick endorsements Harris received but hinted at the criticism from some party members regarding the lack of a democratic voting process. The transition came after Biden suspended his re-election campaign, leading to speculation about internal party dynamics and the influence of key Democratic figures like former President Obama. Despite the light-hearted jabs, Newsom concluded that the party is unified behind Harris's candidacy. This podcaster exchange highlights the tension within the party over the nomination process.
