 Newsom joined other governors often mentioned as potential replacements on the ticket if Biden drops out, including Gretchen Whitmer from Michigan and Illinois' J.B. Pritzker. Afterwards, Newsom issued a statement saying he remains all in for the president, adding Joe Biden's had our back. Now it's time to have his. Earlier this week, several governors complained that the president had not reached out to any of them following his disastrous debate performance. This meeting was intended to fix that.
