California Gov. Gavin Newsom<\/a> said he will consider making a run for the White House after next year’s midterm elections, following months of speculation the Democratic figure is preparing for a 2028 presidential bid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a taped interview with “CBS News Sunday Morning” that aired on Oct. 26, Newsom said he is giving “serious thought” to running for president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’d be lying otherwise,” Newsom said, when asked if he was considering it. “I’d just be lying. And I’m not \u2212 I can’t do that.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not the first time Newsom has signaled his interest in the White House \u2013 and he’s been at the top of Democratic rosters for years. Before former President\u00a0Joe Biden<\/a>\u00a0ended his 2024 campaign and endorsed then-Vice President\u00a0Kamala Harris<\/a>, Newsom’s name was often floated as a possible Democratic candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gavin Newsom began serving as the Democratic governor of California in January 2019. Newsom has held many political roles in California, including Lt. Governor and mayor of San Francisco. Take a look at his political career in pictures.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Despite the speculation, the governor was one of the Biden-Harris campaign’s most vocal surrogates. He staunchly supported Biden as the nominee \u2013 and later Harris. Newsom has drawn increased attention over the years for his willingness to\u00a0go toe-to-toe with Republican politicians<\/a>\u00a0in debates and on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since President Donald Trump<\/a> began his second term in January, Newsom has stepped up his adversarial position against the Republican administration, once again fashioning himself as a leader of the Democratic resistance to the Trump administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a role he also played during the president’s first term, and he has made waves in recent months for publicly sparring with the president and Vice President JD Vance<\/a> in viral social media posts and videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The governor has also launched various legal challenges, including over the deployment of thousands of National Guard troops to Los Angeles in June. Newsom is backing a statewide ballot measure known as Prop. 50, a counter to Texas’ redistricting efforts that would\u00a0redraw the state’s congressional districts<\/a>\u00a0through 2030 and create five more seats favorable to Democrats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent polls<\/a> show the measure has significant support in the deep-blue Golden State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newsom, 58, is a former mayor of San Francisco is currently in his second term as California’s governor. He will term-out<\/a> at the end of 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did not say in his interview with CBS, taped in San Jose, when exactly he expects to make his decision after the midterm elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m looking forward to who presents themselves in 2028, and who meets that moment,” Newsom said. “And that’s the question for the American people.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newsom’s aired interview comes a day after Harris told the BBC she still isn’t ruling out another presidential run<\/a>, after choosing not to run to succeed Newsom as the next governor of California.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
