California Governor Hints at Future Presidential Ambitions

Gavin Newsom, the Governor of California, has hinted that he might run for president in 2028. He made this statement during an interview with CBS News Sunday Morning. When asked if he would consider a presidential run after the 2026 midterms, he replied, "Yeah, " adding that he wouldn't lie about it. Newsom has been a prominent figure in Democratic politics, often opposing President Trump's policies. He has been vocal about various issues, such as the presence of federal troops in Los Angeles and the redrawing of congressional maps. His actions have made him a notable figure in the Democratic Party. This isn't the first time Newsom has hinted at a potential presidential run. In July, he visited South Carolina, a key primary state, which some saw as a step towards a possible campaign. He enjoyed the trip, stating, "I'm in the right business. I love people. " However, Newsom is not the only one eyeing the 2028 presidential race. Other prominent Democrats, like former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and former Vice President Kamala Harris, have also expressed interest. Harris, in particular, has been quite vocal about her intentions, stating, "I am not done, " in a recent interview with the BBC. Despite these hints, nothing is set in stone. Newsom himself said he is looking forward to seeing who else presents themselves for the 2028 race. The Democratic field for the next presidential race is still wide open, and it will be interesting to see who steps up to the plate.
