California Governor Gavin Newsom confirmed that he is considering a run for president in 2028 but stopped short of declaring his candidacy.
While acknowledging his interest in a potential campaign, Newsom said he has not yet made a final decision on whether to enter the race.
“Yeah, I’d be lying otherwise,” Newsom told “CBS News Sunday Morning” after he was asked whether he was considering a run for what would be the Democratic nomination. “I’d just be lying. And I’m not — I can’t do that.”
In recent months, California Governor Gavin Newsom has visited several key early primary states, including South Carolina, and launched a podcast where he has sharpened his debate skills through exchanges with conservative guests,He has also used his social media accounts to engage directly with Republican critics, often posting exaggerated or satirical responses that mimic former President Donald Trump’s distinctive, capitalization-heavy writing style.
