Gov. Gavin Newsom urged Michigan Democrats to back President Joe Biden, despite wavering support in the key swing state.
Newsom asked voters in Michigan to push back on negative information about President Biden’s debate performance against former President Donald Trump debate on June 27 in Atlanta.
Since the debate, Democrats, including some influential party leaders, have raised questions about the Biden-Harris 2024 presidential ticket based on the President’s slow responses to questions and what appeared to be memory gaps during his match-up with Trump.
Newsom reassured voters in Michigan, stating that, although Biden’s debate performance had a slow start, he presented a better vision for America than his opponent. He made the statement while addressing a group of voters at the Van Buren Dems BBQ for Biden-Harris in South Haven, Michigan, on the Fourth of July.
“I had a lot of talking points in mind, you may have noticed if you saw me, I didn’t bring them with me. And that’s to make the obvious point — things did not go as well as the campaign had hoped, and obviously did not go as well as President Biden had hoped,” said Newsom.
Newsom denied claims that he was running a “shadow campaign” in preparation for replacing Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee.
The governor’s recent visit comes at a critical time as Michigan is a battleground state whose vote will be determinant in the outcome of this year’s presidential election.
“What I need to convince you of is not to be fatalistic, not to fall prey to all this negativity,” Newsom said to supporters at a Democratic campaign event. “I believe in this man. I believe in his character. I believe that he has been one of the most transformative presidents in our collective lifetime.”

Nvidia, the tech leader in artificial intelligence and the third largest corporation in the world — valued at around $3.06 trillion – announced last week that it is partnering with California Black Media (CBM) to create a critical resource that will support Black-owned newspapers in the state.
The same week, Nvidia, based in Santa Clara, also announced a partnership with the state that will train educators and students across California.
“The public-private collaboration supports the state’s goals in workforce training and economic development by giving universities, community colleges and adult education programs in California the resources to gain skills in generative AI,” the Nvidia statement read.
With CBM, Nvidia will “train a large language model on nearly a century of journalism by Black journalists in the state.”
