California Gov. Gavin Newsom had a surprise meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing on Wednesday after being warmly welcomed by other senior leaders in a display of friendliness that stands in sharp contrast to the dialogue between the United States and China in recent years.
The governor is on a weeklong tour of China, where he plans to push for climate cooperation. Newsom’s trip as governor, once considered routine, is drawing attention as it comes after years of heightening tensions between the U.S. and China.
“I’m here in expectation, as you suggest, of turning the page, of renewing our friendship and reengaging (on) foundational and fundamental issues that will determine our collective faith in the future,” Newsom said in brief opening remarks ahead of his meeting with Wang Yi, China’s top diplomat, earlier in the day.
So Gavin is 150% running for president in ‘28.
No running now according to some. If Trump wins in 24 there will be no 28 run for him our anyone.
I doubt it, Newsom is ambitious but not a risk taker with the big players.
Directly challenging the sitting president is basically all but begging for him to be ostracized from all levers of power within the party, and opening himself up to be ran against in any position where he’d otherwise have been safe as incumbent for the rest of his life
Fuck Gavin Newsom and fuck Xi.
Once considered routine? Really?
Yeah… the annual governor of california/emperor of china visit. Everyone’s heard of that… ;-)
