President Joe Biden’s advisors are furious about Gavin Newsom’s plan to debate Ron DeSantis in the middle of the 2024 presidential campaign cycle, RadarOnline.com has learned.

In a surprising development to come after the California governor challenged DeSantis to a one-on-one debate earlier this summer, White House sources revealed that Biden’s advisors are “angered” about the potential Newsom-DeSantis “spectacle.”

Also surprising are reports that some Biden staffers fear Newsom is running a “shadow 2024 campaign” against President Biden and that the Newsom-DeSantis debate is part of that shadow campaign.

    While I wouldn’t be against that, the DNC will find some way to stop him from being able to gain any chance.

      He shouldn’t run, there’s no precedent for it, Biden is the incumbent, and that’s who should run.

      It’s not about the “DNC” finding some way to stop him, it’s about why should we overturn years of precedent for Newsome?

      Misgivings aside about age or whatever else about Biden, he’s the party leader, and without the support of the party he would look weaker not just to the voting populace but also the world, it would seriously undermine any of Biden’s future endeavors once elected. Biden’s administration hasn’t been perfect but it’s definitely earned a shot in the general election, and I look forward to voting for Newsome in 2028 barring him doing any dumb shit.
