California Gov. Gavin Newsom has confirmed he’s considering a 2028 presidential bid.
The Democrat revealed he will seriously think about a presidential campaign after the 2026 midterm elections are over, according to a pre-taped interview that aired on “CBS News Sunday Morning” Oct. 26.
“Yeah, I’d be lying otherwise,” Newsom responded when he was asked about a potential presidential campaign. “I’d just be lying. And I’m no I can’t do that.”
Newsom, whose term as governor ends in January 2027, maintained that currently, he has “no idea” if he will enter the race.
“The idea that a guy who got 960 on his SAT, that still struggles to read scripts, that was always in the back of the classroom, the idea that you would even throw that out is, in and of itself, extraordinary,” Newsom said in a separate interview with “CBS News This Morning” in South Carolina over the summer. “Who the hell knows? I’m looking forward to who presents themselves in 2028 and who meets that moment. And that’s the question for the American people.”…
