Newsom adds to presidential bid speculation with donation to South Carolina mayoral candidate
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) has been bolstering presidential ambitions in recent weeks, taking a particular interest in the Charleston, South Carolina, mayoral race — a critical Democratic voting region going into the 2024 election.
Conjectures about Newsom running a shadow presidential campaign were fueled by his trips to China and Israel in October. The Democratic governor also recently donated to the campaign of Clay Middleton, a candidate in the Charleston mayoral race to replace incumbent Democratic Mayor John Tecklenburg, according to Axios.
