Summary
Los Angeles drew several hundred supporters Sunday as Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris appeared together publicly for the first time this year to back Xavier Becerra’s bid for California governor.
Their speeches stayed tightly focused on Becerra and on urging Democrats to flip control of Congress, offering little insight into either politician’s plans after Tuesday’s election.
The joint appearance carried added intrigue because both California Democrats are seen as possible 2028 presidential contenders, and Newsom has said he would not run if Harris does.
Their alliance also reflects a long relationship dating to their San Francisco political rise, even as they have long been viewed as rivals who have avoided directly competing.
