Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom addressed rumors in an interview clip released Friday that he may run for president in 2024, emphasizing that Vice President Kamala Harris is President Joe Biden’s natural successor.

Newsom also insisted that Biden will run again, telling NBC “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd in an interview released Friday: “We need to move past this notion that he’s not going to run. President Biden is going to run and I’m looking forward to him getting reelected.”

“I think there’s been so much wallowing in the last few months, and handwringing in this respect,” Newsom said of those wondering if he would personally step up to the plate and run in 2024. “But we’re gearing up for the campaign. We’re looking forward to it.”

Harris is “naturally” the one “lined up” to follow Biden if he doesn’t run, Newsom said.
