Newsom embraces Biden in run-up to 2028 primary

8. While Biden was a good president, he represents the old guard.

I believe that younger voters (and older voters like me) want to see a shift from what was to what can be. I've always thought that one of Kamala's biggest mistakes was to not separate herself from Biden more effectively. She was loyal but perhaps to her own detriment. For example, when asked how her policies would differ from Biden's, she essentially said that they wouldn't. It would have been so easy to say instead that at the beginning of their term they were focused on Covid and getting the economy running again and saying that with the economy humming along, she would be focusing on the issues that matter to people now--housing, affordability, access to affordable health care, etc.

Biden was the president we needed at that time. We are now in a different time, and I hope Newsom reflects that with Trump's huge damage to our country different leaders are needed.
