California Governor Gavin Newsom announced that he will consider a candidacy for president in 2028, after the midterm elections in 2026.

Gavin Newsom, the Democratic governor of California, stated that he will consider a candidacy for the presidency of the United States in 2028, after the midterm elections in 2026.

In an interview with CBS News, he admitted that he would be lying if he said he wasn't thinking about it. His term as governor ends in January 2027.

Newsom has been a vocal critic of the Trump administration, and his popularity has grown among Democratic voters.

Recently, Trump's transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, accused Newsom of not caring about California citizens, threatening to withdraw federal funds from the state.

A recent poll showed that the majority of Democrats and a significant portion of registered voters support a Newsom candidacy in 2028.
