California Governor Gavin Newsom is finally breaking his silence on a possible 2028 presidential run – and he’s not holding back. In a new CBS interview, Newsom admitted he’d be “lying” if he said he wasn’t considering a White House bid, sparking fresh speculation about his national ambitions. The California governor has ramped up his media presence, visited key early primary states like South Carolina, and positioned himself as one of the loudest Democratic voices against Donald Trump and his policies.
Political insiders say Newsom’s comments could signal the start of a long game for Democrats eyeing 2028, as Vice President Kamala Harris also hinted she may run. Recent polls from Emerson College show a tight race between Newsom and J.D. Vance, suggesting the stage is already being set for a high-stakes showdown.
