Big Announcement From a Leading Contender in the 2028 Presidential Race.
Putting the national interest first over his own political ambitions, California Governor Gavin Newsom told CNN’s Jake Tapper today that he would NOT seek the Democratic nomination for president in 2028 should former Vice President Kamala Harris do so.
“First of all, electorally, it’s a gift from God for everybody else. They’d enjoy the hell out of it,” Newsom said while fly fishing in Montana. “Mutual assured destruction. It services no greater good.”
“I know her base of supporters. I know her friends,” Newsom continued. “The [Venn] diagram on that is just pure crossover.”
“I wouldn’t do that to people,” he added.
Should the Democrats win the House, Newsom deserves a lot of credit by fighting back against Republican mid-decade Congressional redistricting. The two-term governor is barred from running for reelection this year due to term limits. But should Harris win the presidency in 2028, rest assured that Newsom will be strongly considered for a top cabinet post.
