"Biden Advisers Question Newsom's Decision to Appear on Fox News"

Some of President Joe Biden's advisers and Vice President Kamala Harris' allies are unhappy with California Governor Gavin Newsom's plan to debate Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on television, fearing it could make voters think Newsom is running a shadow 2024 campaign and overshadow Harris. While some Biden advisers see potential benefit in a high-profile Democrat defending the president's record, others worry it could elevate DeSantis, whom they initially perceived as a greater threat than former President Donald Trump. The debate is still uncertain, as the two camps have been haggling over proposed rules.
