Terrell may have a point. According to a YouGovAmerica survey, Newsom only has a 31-percent approval rating, compared to 29 percent disapproval. And while he survived a recall effort a year ago, his unfavorable rating rose due to strict, enduring COVID lockdown rules which he himself was caught violating.
As for Biden, he would not answer a direct question from interviewer Scott Pelley regarding his political future.
“Sir, are you committed to running again, or are there certain conditions that have to be right?” interviewer Scott Pelley asked.
“Look, if I were to say to you, I’m running again, all of a sudden, a whole range of things come into play that I have – requirements I have to change and move and do,” Biden responded, noting that election laws are playing into his reply.
“And it’s much too early to make that kind of decision. I’m a great respecter of fate. And so, what I’m doing is I’m doing my job. I’m gonna do that job. And within the time frame that makes sense after this next election cycle here, going into next year, make a judgment on what to do,” he said.
“You say that it’s much too early to make that decision,” Pelley responded. “I take it the decision has not been made in your own head.”
“Look, my intention, as I said, to begin with, is that I would run again. But it’s just an intention,” Biden replied. “But is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen.”
