Reporter: Colleagues in the House are talking tonight in Washington about replacing [Biden]. Do you support that idea?

Newsome: I would never turn my back on [Biden]…I don't know a democrat in my party that would do so, and especially after tonight. We have his back. We run, not the ninety-yard dash; we are all in. We're gonna double-down in the next few months.

Reporter: What about his performance tonight? Everyone is questioning his performance.

Newsome: Well how about the substance?

Reporter: But it's the performance that everyone's talking about. You have to address the performance.

Reporter: If you're asked, would you be willing to take that ticket?

Newsome: I'm not even; it's not even; I'll never turn my back on [Biden].

Reporter: Do you have any concerns about his fitness for office?

Newsome: None.

Reporter: Why is Governor Gavin Newsome here tonight?

Gaetz: I think Governor Newsome is here to check to see if Joe Biden still has a a pulse anymore. He's a pretty opportunistic guy who wants to be president, and right now the democrats are in a state of free-fall.

Reporter: Do you think the Joe Biden campaign has collapsed after this debate?

Gaetz: The Biden campaign has collapsed; disintegrated. Joe Biden is clearly a man in decline.
