The Real Winner Of Last Night’s Debate Was Gavin Newsom
BY: TRISTAN JUSTICE
JUNE 28, 2024Waiting in the wings is the 56-year-old governor of America’s largest state, making sure to take every opportunity to land national airtime.California’s far-left governor spent the hour before Thursday night’s debate in the media spin room ostensibly cheerleading for a president he knows he is about to replace, either in four years or four months.
“This is it,” Gov. Gavin Newsom told reporters ahead of the primetime event, going after former President Donald Trump more than promoting President Joe Biden. “This is liberalism versus illiberalism.”
“This is very sobering for me and I hope for the American people,” Newsom added.
What was more sobering, however, was when the 81-year-old incumbent took the stage and put his senility on display. Here are some of the headlines Americans woke up to Friday morning:
New York Times: ‘It’s Frightening’: Democratic Voters Worried by Biden’s Struggles in Debate
Washington Post: Democrats panic over Biden’s debate performance, doubt his future
Politico: Dems freak out over Biden’s debate performance: ‘Biden is toast’
Newsweek: Joe Biden Stumbles During Debate: Six Moments That Hurt the President
The Trump campaign was quick to capitalize on Biden’s poor performance with an ad highlighting some of the president’s worst moments.
Immediately after the debate ended, CNN’s John King noted “a deep, a wide and a very aggressive panic” engulfing the Democratic Party.
