SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday vowed he would serve a full four-year term if reelected in November, trying again to knock down speculation that he wants to replace Democrat Joe Biden on the ballot should he not seek a second term.
with his Republican challenger, state Sen. Brian Dahle — the only time the two candidates will meet face to face before voting ends on Nov. 8.
Asked directly by co-moderator Marisa Lagos if he would commit to serving all four years if he’s reelected, Newsom said "yes." Newsom defended his national campaigning, saying he "barely" left the state to take on national Republican leaders, who he says are"This is a serious moment in American history," Newsom said. "I’ve had enough. So I’ll proudly and happily stand up.
"He’s out of touch with everyday, hard working, middle class Californians," Dahle said. "Yes, he and his friends can afford Teslas at $70,000, but Californians on the whole have no opportunity but to just suffer from the policies Gavin Newsom has put forward." On abortion, Dahle said he would remove $20 million in the state’s budget that would help pay for women from other states to come to California for the procedure. But he said he would leave money for "reproductive care" in the budget, without detailing what that meant.
Dahle said his two sons went to public schools, but says his daughter attends a private school "because you and I both know that the better education is private education because our schools are failing."
