Former President Donald Trump recently made his thoughts crystal clear about a possible face-off with California Governor Gavin Newsom in the 2024 election. The media darling, Trump, speaking with Fox News, casually dismissed the prospect of President Joe Biden being the Democratic nominee and instead weighed in on the hypothetical match-up against Newsom, whom he refers to as “so much bull****.”
In typical Trump fashion, the former president didn’t hold back, calling out Newsom for his disastrous run as California’s governor. He pointed to the state’s escalating homeless problem and the flight of businesses, all common conservative gripes with Democratic leadership. It’s no secret to anyone who’s been following Trump that he isn’t a fan of California’s state of affairs, and he was quick to highlight its failings as ammunition against Newsom’s potential bid for the presidency.
🚨 TRUMP ON NEWSOM: “He's so much bullsh*t … I think Gavin's easy because California's a disaster. He has been a horrible governor.”

Amidst the speculation and whispers surrounding Biden’s future electoral plans, Trump took a moment to address another theoretical challenger: Michelle Obama. Dismissing these speculations with his trademark confidence, Trump declared that polls show he would easily defeat the former first lady. Of course, Trump couldn’t help but throw in a nod to his “four great years” in the White House, and who could blame him?
Taking a jab at the Democratic primary contest, where Biden secured a win in the South Carolina primary, Trump made sure to remind everyone that the Democratic field isn’t exactly brimming with contenders. With a touch of swagger, he also hinted at potentially gaining support from Republicans eyeing the 2024 race, citing his recent endorsement from Sen. John Cornyn as evidence of his growing influence in the party.
To top it all off, a recent NBC News poll showed Trump leading Biden by five points in a hypothetical 2024 general election race. It seems that Trump isn’t just confident in his own abilities; he’s got a few numbers to back up his boast.
In closing, it’s clear that Trump is more than ready to take on any contenders, real or hypothetical, in the 2024 election. And if his bold statements are anything to go by, he’s feeling pretty good about his chances. So, buckle up, folks, because the political arena is in for one wild ride!
