California Governor Hints at Future Presidential Ambitions

Governor of California Gavin Newsom has suggested he might run for president in 2028. He made this revelation during an interview with CBS News Sunday Morning.

A Clear Indication

When asked if he would consider a presidential run after the 2026 midterms, Newsom replied, "Yeah," adding that he wouldn't lie about it.

A Prominent Democratic Figure

Newsom has been a key figure in Democratic politics, often opposing President Trump's policies. He has been vocal on issues such as:

• The presence of federal troops in Los Angeles
• The redrawing of congressional maps

His actions have made him a notable figure in the Democratic Party.

Previous Hints at a Presidential Run

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 toward a possible campaign.

Newsom enjoyed the trip, stating:

"I'm in the right business. I love people."

Other Democratic Contenders

Newsom isn't the only one eyeing the 2028 presidential race. Other prominent Democrats, such as:

• Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel
• Former Vice President Kamala Harris

Harris, in particular, has been vocal about her intentions, stating:

"I am not done," in a recent interview with the BBC.

The Democratic Field Remains Open

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.
