At a Pennsylvania rally with Newsom, Democrats double down on support for Biden

Gov. Gavin Newsom of California continued his show of support for President Biden on Saturday, praising the Biden administration’s track record in front of an enthusiastic crowd of Pennsylvania Democrats who appeared to remain firmly behind the president despite rising calls for him to leave the race.

Newsom’s optimism and his message of Mr. Biden’s proven success were welcomed by the crowd in Doylestown, Pa. Many in attendance said they were tired of the discussion over whether the president should continue his campaign — even staunch supporters of Mr. Newsom, who is considered a potential replacement for Mr. Biden atop the ticket, largely insisted that Mr. Biden should stay in the race.

One of the president’s most committed campaign surrogates, Mr. Newsom has taken to the road in an attempt to shore up support in swing states after Mr. Biden’s rocky debate performance last week led some party members to question his capacity to be re-elected. Mr. Newsom, who has insisted that he has no interest in replacing Mr. Biden on the ticket, stumped for the president in Michigan on the Fourth of July and in Pittsburgh on Friday.

His message for Democrats has been consistent: The party needs to keep its chin up and rally around the president.

“If Donald Trump succeeds, God help us,” Mr. Newsom said at the rally in Doylestown, a suburb in Bucks County north of Philadelphia. “We will roll back the last half-century. It’s America in reverse.”

Mr. Newsom’s supporters were aglow after the rally. Some said they were excited to see Mr. Newsom run for president — just not this year.

“He’s the future of the Democratic Party,” said Denise Glick, 71, of Doylestown, referring to Mr. Newsom. “Hopefully, there will still be a democracy where he can run.”

But Mr. Newsom was not welcomed by all. About 50 Trump supporters gathered outside the rally to protest the California governor, holding signs that read, “Joe, Gavin is running for your job” and “Newsom too left 4 Bucks.”

Still, they were heavily outnumbered by Democratic voters, with about 200 attending the outdoor event, despite temperatures in the 90s.

Kabuki theatre; trying to look loyal, when we know they don’t know the meaning of the word.

Newsome pullling a two-for. Shows loyalty to Biden while ready to be his replacement, plus gets loyalty points for a run in 2028.

He’s been a loyal propagandist, lying repeatedly about Biden’s fitness. Democrats like him would be loyal to an orange juice can if it was running.

Hopefully there will.still be a democracy, she says.

It’s become a common thing, with some liberals, that 2024 will be the last election if Trump wins. That’s the whole dictator thing they believe, that he will turn into Hitler and all that.

Liberals never explain why none of that happened when Trump was president before.

LOOK LONG & HARD AT NEWSOM’S RECORD IN CALIF.

TAXES
CRIME
BUDGET WOES
CALLOUS attitude toward citizens
UNFETTERED LOOTING
ATTACKS IN BROAD DAYLIGHT ON ANYONE & EVERYONE
COPS IN OAKLAND WHO tell a store owner who got ransacked To file a report by internet.
GAS TAXES THRU THE ROOF
DEMANDS for ALL ELECTRIC vehicles-—even the current grid cannot handle the existing homes & businesses.
A record of being the MOST UNFRIENDLY STATE FOR BUSINESSES
ARROGANCE: GOING TO “FRENCH LAUNDRY RESTAURANT” in the COVID SHUTDOWN.

HE IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED ON ANY LEVEL -—AND I LIVED IN CALIF FOR ALMOST 41 years.

The Newsom crowd heard democracy will be gone and a new Hitler will be in DC if the Dems don’t win in November.
And all of them believed it, trembling with fear, unable to eat dinner or get to sleep that night./S

“...praising the Biden administration’s track record”

For once, I’d like one of those Dems to tell us the details of that “track record.”

Well, God said he would send a strong delusion. I honestly didn’t know exactly HOW strong. This is pretty amazing.
