California Governor Gavin Newsom has been on the campaign trail advocating for the reelection of President Joe Biden. Newsom says he ignores requests for him to jump into the race, in an interview with Robert Costa for CBS NEWS SUNDAY MORNING to be broadcast Sunday, July 14 (9:00 AM, ET) on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+.

Newsom tells Costa he’s “all in” for Biden, though some Democrats have called for the president to exit the race.

Here’s an excerpt:

ROBERT COSTA: You're not just a surrogate. You're somebody who's getting text messages and emails every day to consider running. How do you handle all of that?

GOV. GAVIN NEWSOM: I-- they just, you, you, delete, delete, delete, delete. Thank you, delete, and rinse, repeat. I'm all in. No daylight.

COSTA: You never even engage in it privately?

NEWSOM: No, I don't. Abs, absolutely not. Absolutely not. I know one thing: Everything you do in private becomes public. Even private thoughts seem to manifest publicly. So not a chance.

CBS NEWS SUNDAY MORNING has been the #1 Sunday morning news program for 21 consecutive broadcast seasons. It is broadcast Sundays (9:00-10:30 AM, ET) on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+. Rand Morrison is the executive producer.
