Gavin Newsom Says His Son Opposes Him Running for President Because He Wants Him to Spend More Time with the Family

EXCERPT:

BASH: "Last question, what are the metrics that will determine whether you run for president?"
NEWSOM: "There's five of them: Dutch, Brooklynn, Hunter. You get the drift."
BASH: "Do you want me to help you name the rest of your kids?" (Laughter)
NEWSOM: "No, no, don't. But the biggest one is Jennifer."
BASH: "Exactly."
NEWSOM: "Look, this book was dedicated to them. I wish this was a book my parents wrote."
BASH: "Do they want you to run?"
NEWSOM: "And it's going to be -- that's, I don't know. It depends on the day. And my son wrote me, it was very powerful -- texted me a few months ago, and there was some headline that suggested that I had made some decision. And he goes, 'Dad, are you running for president?' I said, 'No, we'll do this as a family.' He goes, 'You can't.' I said, 'Why?' He goes, 'I'm too young. You need to spend more time with us.' I mean, how do you deal with that one?”
