Vice President Kamala Harris' allies are particularly annoyed by the California governor's move into the spotlight ahead of a possible 2028 Democratic nomination fight.
WASHINGTON — California Gov. Gavin Newsom is increasingly being viewed as a nuisance to some of President Joe Biden’s political advisers, according to four people familiar with the matter.
"It's disrespectful," said one outside adviser to Harris."Joe Biden is running with Kamala Harris. That's the Democratic ticket." Yet just as some Biden advisers are irked by Newsom's move, others see potential benefit in a high-profile Democrat defending the president's record and agenda against a prominent Republican hopeful.
Newsom did not respond to a text message seeking comment on what he learned about DeSantis from Wednesday's Republican primary debate and whether he thinks the two men will end up debating. With many Democrats looking for an alternative to Biden, who turned 80 in November, some of Newsom's maneuvers into the national spotlight were perceived as promoting the California governor at the cost of stoking concerns about the president.
While the two governors tussle over the rules and timing of a debate — it could happen this fall, possibly in November — DeSantis is trying to gain traction in his uphill fight to beat Trump for the 2024 GOP nomination.
