Newsom says he won’t challenge Biden in 2024

California governor Gavin Newsom has made it clear to President Joe Biden he will not challenge him for the 2024 presidential nomination, Politico has reported. Newsom described conversations with first lady Jill Biden and White House chief of staff Ron Klain, telling them he would back a Biden re-election bid. ‘‘I’m all in, count me in,’’ he told them – and relayed the same message to Biden on election night this month, according to an interview with Politico. Newsom’s decision follows a betterthan-expected showing by Democrats in the US midterm elections.
