This weekend on ABC News, California Governor Gavin Newsom ridiculously supported Biden’s re-election and even tried to claim that Biden has a plan to address the crisis at the border.
During the same interview, he was asked about third-party candidates and said Democrats should worry about them.

KARL: Especially when you talk about the importance of democracy, you try to keep people out of voting.
NEWSOM: Yes. So I’m not consumed by it. And I’m not here on behalf of the Biden administration to think about it.
