Gavin Newsom Hailed Within China After Biden’s Debate Troubles
- Newsom seen as ‘cool head’ among anti-China consensus in US
- California governor met with Xi on China trip last October
After President Joe Biden’s catastrophic debate performance, Gavin Newsom has emerged among a handful of names being floated to replace him. In China, that would be a popular outcome.
Since Biden stumbled against Donald Trump last week, Chinese social media users have posted photos and video clips of the California state governor, who was a hit during his visit to the world’s No. 2 economy last year.
