President Biden is embarking on a three-state western swing on Monday that will include two stops in California, where he will assess wildfire damage in Sacramento and rally support for Gov. Gavin Newsom in Long Beach.
President Biden speaks as he tours a neighborhood impacted by hurricane-related flooding last week in Queens. This week in California, he'll tour a burn zone caused by wildfires.
The campaign event for Newsom, the administration has admitted, is the primary reason for the trip. Asked last week why Biden was going to rally with the governor, Press Secretary Jen Psaki deadpanned: "Because the election is Tuesday." Newsom, however, has seen his position improve as polls have revealed a steady increase in the number of Californias rejecting the recall effort. That rise in support follows intense campaigning by Newsom and heightened scrutiny of leading replacement candidates.a poll Friday showed him with a healthy cushion
Psaki also noted last week that the president remains broadly popular in California, where the share of Democrats in the electorate has risen while the share of Republicans has declined. His visit follows a campaign event last week that featured Vice President Kamala Harris; some of the party's biggest names, including Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, have also campaigned for Newsom in the state.
