The one covered in case Biden retires?

This is the theory of concealment, of that person who hides his intentions in case the opportunity arises.

Responsible for Gavin Newsom, he is the Democratic governor of California, a young politician – 56 years in the American gerontocracy – with national projection, presidential profile and active in electoral tasks ahead of November. He is even venturing on fundraising missions to other Republican-dominated states, where he has launched television ads accusing conservatives of holding women hostage by imposing travel and abortion restrictions. .

Another of his most echoing messages is to describe as a “war on women” the decision of the Alabama Supreme Court to consider frozen embryos “children” when they are still in the laboratories and not in the uterus of a patient.

Newsom's mission is to capitalize on Democratic coffers while campaigning for Joe Biden's re-election. On Sunday he returned from Washington, after attending a conference of governors organized by the White House and appearing on the sets praising the management of an 81-year-old president who is accused of being gagá although his successful economic management denies any incapacity .

This is what the Californian proclaims, but there are Republicans and quite a few Democratic voices who maintain that Newsom is placing himself on the pole of his party's starting grid just in case, in case Biden, faced with pressure, decides to retire.

Long-time political advisors such as Davil Axelrod (mastermind of Barack Obama's rise) or James Carville (Bill Clinton's right-hand man) sow unrest in Biden's team with their continuous calls for him to reconsider his decision to pursue a second term and give up the presidency. witness. Vice President Kamala Harris does not seem to be the option.

The president reiterates his candidacy, the “I follow” of Joe Rígoli, and accuses the other (Donald Trump) of being almost the same age and that “he doesn't even remember his wife's name,” as he stated on Monday night in an interview. “It's about how old your ideas are, and that other person wants to take us back in time,” he remarked.

No matter how much he insists on his mental capacity, this controversy launched by the ultras has infiltrated society, and there are those who still see it as feasible that the Democratic candidate is not Biden. This partly explains why California Republicans have launched a new campaign this week (they failed in four previous ones) seeking the removal of the state governor.

That would be a blow to Newsom's higher aspirations. Although he denies time and again that supposed hidden desire to move to the federal capital, the organizers of this new motion of censure recognized that his objective is to frustrate his presidential ambitions. According to these rivals, his fundraising and campaign activities fuel his potential candidacy. These speculations grew a few weeks ago when he agreed to debate on the Fox network with Ron DeSantis, then a candidate for the Republican nomination and governor of Florida, the conservative state that is on the other side (or the face, depending on who looks at the coin) of the state. gold liberal, Silicon Valley and the progressive elites.

“This is our last chance to rescue and restore California, while highlighting for the rest of the country the destruction it has left in its wake,” said Anne Dunsmore, the director of this effort. In the previous one they came out shorn. Newsom won 61.9% support, with critics at 38.1%.

Your case is curious. Newsom emerged as mayor of San Francisco, the city of doom for conservatives. His wife at the time was Kimberly Guilfoyle, today Donald Jr.'s fiancée. the eldest son of the former president and candidate in 2024.

“Trumpist Republicans are launching another wasteful recall campaign to distract us from the ongoing battle for democracy and reproductive freedom,” the governor replied.

The part for the whole or the synecdoche of the covered, which makes the local something national.
