Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom said in a Sunday interview that he is considering a run for the U.S. presidency in 2028, adding that he will make a decision after the 2026 midterm elections.
Speaking on CBS News’ Sunday Morning, Newsom acknowledged the possibility of a White House bid, stating, “Yeah, I'd be lying (if I said) otherwise.” He noted he is closely watching who emerges as potential candidates for 2028 and how they rise to the moment.
This year, Newsom has taken steps to test the waters for a presidential campaign and has gained national attention within the Democratic Party, particularly for his vocal opposition to Republican President Donald Trump on issues ranging from domestic policy to military deployments.
Under the U.S. Constitution, Trump is barred from a third consecutive term, though he has suggested earlier this year that there may be ways around that restriction.
Domestically, Newsom has positioned California at the forefront of Democratic efforts to redraw congressional maps to counter similar Republican-led initiatives, aiming to influence control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2026 midterms, where Republicans currently hold a narrow majority.
With his high profile in national politics and leadership in the most populous Democratic state, Newsom is emerging as a key figure to watch in the 2028 presidential race.
