California Gov. Newsome Considers Presidential Bid

This is not the first time Newsom has signaled his interest and he's been a top Democratic pick for years.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom says he’s considering a run for the White House after next year’s midterm elections.

This confirms months of speculation that the Democratic figure is preparing for a 2028 presidential bid. When asked about it, he said that he is giving it “serious thought.” He added, “I’d be lying otherwise.” This is not the first time Newsom has signaled his interest and he’s been a top Democratic pick for years.

Since President Trump began his second term in office, Newsom has stepped up his opposition against the Republican administration. It’s a role he also played during the president’s first term, and he has stirred the pot by publicly sparring with the president and Vice President JD Vance via social media.
