Gavin Newsom Critiques Nomination of Kamala Harris

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.
