Trump claims facing Newsom in 2024 election would be ‘easy’

Published



Former President Donald Trump boasted that he believes facing Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) in the 2024 election would be “easy” should President Joe Biden not be the Democratic nominee.

“Personally, I don’t think so,” Trump said Sunday when asked by Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures host Maria Bartiromo whether he thinks Biden will be the nominee. She then asked how the former president thinks he would fair if the Democratic nominee were Newsom.

“He’s, he’s so much bull****,” Trump said.

“His state is doing horribly. You look at the homeless problem. You look at the people that are leaving. You have companies that are leaving. They’re all leaving for other locations. I think Gavin’s easy because California is a disaster,” Trump added.

Although Biden hasn’t given a single indication that he would drop out of running for reelection, Republicans and some pundits have speculated that his waning approval ratings could spur the Democratic Party to put forth an alternative candidate to take on the former president, as Trump has also touted speculation over Biden’s prospects to tackle another four years in office.

Bartiromo then asked, “How are you going to do against Michelle Obama?” hinting at unsupported rumors that former President Barack Obama‘s spouse could attempt a run.
