is outperforming her 2020 rivals across the board — but told POLITICO that Pete Buttigieg “tends to be many people’s second choice — if he’s not already a first."
Biden, he said is “formidable beyond words, profoundly respected, deeply loved by a good core of the Democratic party,” and “obviously has a foreign policy portfolio and resume that is difficult for others to compete with.’’ Newsom also strongly defended Harris, a former state attorney general, saying that her campaign has been “outperforming” rivals across the board. Asked about a New York Times report suggesting Harris’ campaign has attempted a “reset,’’ Newsom said he strongly disagreed, arguing that Harris has been “in top two-tier status from the day she announced. ... Compare that quite literally to 20 other candidates.
“Literally today, someone [with the campaign] asked if they could give him my number — and I was very humbled by that. And of course, I enthusiastically said yes,’’ Newsom told POLITICO. “I just read his book and it’s quite good. It’s fascinating how many people are supporting him, as they’re supporting someone else. He tends to be many people’s second choice — if he’s not already a first,’’ he said.
