California Gov. Gavin Newsom has addressed speculation about his political future and the possibility of a 2028 presidential campaign.
In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Newsom said he would not run for president in 2028 if Kamala Harris enters the race.
The comments are significant because both Newsom and Harris have been discussed as potential Democratic contenders for the White House in 2028. Newsom’s statement could shape early discussions about the party’s future leadership and the field of possible presidential candidates.
For now, the 2028 race remains wide open, but Newsom’s comments suggest that Harris potentially entering the contest could influence whether he chooses to pursue the nomination.
