WATCH: Newsom Laughs After Reporter Asks If Biden Has Better Chance of Beating Trump Than Him
California Governor Gavin Newsom laughed after a Fox News reporter asked if Joe Biden has a better chance of beating former President Donald Trump than he does.
Newsom has long been rumored to be running a shadow campaign, intending to step in and replace Biden at the last moment.
“The special counsel report that came out last week against it for President Biden. It had, quote, he is a sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory. What do you think of this?” the reporter began.
The reporter continued, “And then also for the 2024 election… Does 81-year-old President Biden have a better chance of beating Donald Trump than you? And do you disagree with 86% of Americans who think he’s too old to run?”
The question prompted a round of giggles from Newsom and members of his administration.
