California Gov Gavin Newsom tells Politico he gave the White House his word he won’t mount a primary challenge to President Biden in 2024, averting the biggest chance for the kind of destructive internecine conflict that contributed to the reelection losses for Presidents Ford and Carter.
“I’ve told everyone in the White House, from the chief of staff to the first lady,” Newsom said earlier this month, adding that he told Biden directly “I’m all in. put me in coach. We have your back.”
