Biden says Gavin Newsom ‘could have the job’ of president after calling him ‘one hell of a governor’

President Biden openly touted California Gov. Gavin Newsom as a hot contender for the White House — telling world leaders the younger man “could have the job I’m looking for,” referring to his 2024 re-election bid.

“I want to thank him. He’s been one hell of a governor, man,” Biden, who turns 81 next week, said of the 56-year-old fellow Democrat after Newsom warmed up the crowd for him at a reception for leaders at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference in San Francisco.

“Matter of fact, he can be anything he wants — he could have the job I’m looking for,” said Biden, who is the Democratic Party’s front-runner for the 2024 nomination.

Newsom has long been mentioned as a potential Biden primary challenger — or replacement — as he ramped up his national profile.

He made headlines last month when he went on a week-long trip to China to speak with President Xi Jinping ahead of the APEC conference.
