California Gov. Newsom reassures jittery West Michigan Democrats after Biden's shaky debate

(Michigan Advance) California Gov. Gavin Newsom spent his Independence Day reassuring West Michigan voters that despite a rocky debate performance, President Joe Biden is “all in.”

Newsom made two stops in Michigan, a formal stop at an Independence Day picnic in South Haven and then a barbecue hosted by the Altamirano family in Holland.

During his 15 minutes of formal comments, Newsom told supporters that he and several other Democratic governors from around the country met with Biden to discuss concerns over his rocky debate performance on June 27 with former President Donald Trump, the presumed Republican nominee.

“I do come here by way of the White House,” Newsom told the crowd of about 350 on Thursday. “Last night … we sat down, 20 of us or so Democratic governors from all across the states, including your governor [Gretchen Whitmer], spending time with the president and hearing him say the words, ‘I’m all in’ and his commitment and resolve to keep this election going, this candidacy moving forward.” ...............(more)
