Amid this week's Democratic National Convention (DNC), California Governor Gavin Newsom joked that Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, was picked in a "30-minute convention."
Harris has swiftly established herself as the Democrats' nominee shortly after President Joe Biden announced he was dropping out of the race on July 21, giving her his endorsement. Biden decisively won the Democratic primary contest, but pulled out after coming under intense pressure from within his own party, amidst increased concern over the 81-year-old's age and mental agility.
The continued support around Harris led her to accept the party's official nomination on the final night of the DNC in Chicago on Thursday.
"I want you to know I promise to be a president for all Americans," Harris told supporters. "You can always trust me to put country above party and self. To hold sacred America's fundamental principles from the rule of law to free and fair elections, to the peaceful transfer of power."
Appearing live during the DNC in a podcast called Pod Save America, which was released on Friday, Newsom spoke about the convention and the subsequent nomination of Harris.
When asked by one of the show's hosts how he felt "about the switch," seemingly referring to Biden stepping down and Harris replacing him, the governor joked about how fast things changed.
"We went through a very open process and a very inclusive process...a 30-minute convention between tweets and other tweets. It's amazing and you know what is amazing is how unified everyone is. I mean it's next level," Newsom said.
While Newsom, has continuously supported Biden during the 2024 election, he has also been a supporter of Harris as the two hail from California and have known each other for years.

UNFORTUNATELY-—IT IS NOT A JOKE.
Interesting. This means Gavin Newsom liked Biden but he doesn’t really like Harris.
Look, they should have taken into account his mental status before the primaries. But once the primaries are over, then if something happens to the president, it’s the VP. Everyone who was voting in the primary knew that if something happened to him the VP would take over. That’s how it works. To wait until after the primaries and then just change candidates from nowhere. That’s not right and it makes no sense. If you don’t think the VP is capable of doing your job, then you shouldn’t have picked them. But of course, presidents pick people all the time because they don’t want a really good person standing behind them.
Gavin is being quite passive-aggressive over this. Seems he was not even considered by the establishment.
The pompadour king is being very grumpy that he was not even offered crumpet crumbs or even a consideration for tea. (My shout out to bloom county
Newsom was probably planning on Trump beating Biden in November.
He is realizing that he'll get screwed over if Harris wins in November. Newsom can run for President in 2032 but by then he'll be an old man.
Sorry newsom but you’re a white male.
And they wanted a black female.
The bitter truth has begun to oouze out.
Gavin is quietly livid at being passed over yet again, and for the undeserving Kamala!
“giving her his endorsement.”
Poor English, for a second I thought it was this pronoun crap from Newsweak. LOL
“....concern over the 81-year-old’s age and mental agility.”
Nope. Not at all about age. All about the fact that the lie had been exposed; that our President was seriously compromised by dementia that had been hidden, and lied about, for years. I’ve known men and women in their 80’s who could run circles around people half their age. The real story here, when you think for a second about it, is why did Harris, second in command, and, Constitutionally, the one responsible for bringing this to the attention of Congress, not do so?
“Harris has swiftly established herself as the Democrats’ nominee”

Hard to tell the difference from one wicked Communist to the other. They’re all the same.
Bitter much Gavin?
8 years of a Harris presidency means 6 more years before Gavin can run for President. He’ll be 65 at the time of the 2032 election and by then his and Democrats’ destructive policies in California will be obvious to everyone.
He will start soft running for 2028 by mid-2025 if Trump wins.
“ Sorry newsom but you’re a white male.
And they wanted a black female.”
Don’t ignore the possibility that CA Dems will be fighting (behind the scenes) against each other for power.
Just ast NY Dems (Clintons) and Chi town Dems (Clinton) fought behind the scenes.
they’re turning up the volume on Gruesome for a reason.
By then, Gretchen Whitmer, Wes Moore or maybe Mayor Pete will be next in line.
Gavin Newsome will be an old white guy by that time.
Gavin probably thought he “could have been a contender”, instead of the bum that he is.
