October 26, 2025 – California Governor Gavin Newsom has expressed interest in running for U.S. president in 2028, revealing that he will make a final decision after the 2026 midterm elections. In an interview aired on Sunday, Newsom said he is evaluating the political landscape and who might emerge as contenders for the presidency in 2028.
Newsom, a prominent Democrat, has made strategic moves this year to position himself for a potential presidential bid. He has become increasingly vocal in challenging Republican President Donald Trump on several key issues, boosting his visibility within his party.
“I’m looking forward to who presents themselves in 2028 and who meets that moment,” Newsom said in the CBS News program Sunday Morning. While he hasn’t fully committed, his recent political activity suggests he is testing the waters for a potential run in the next presidential election cycle.
