“I’m looking forward to who presents themselves in 2028 and who meets that moment,” Newsom said on the CBS News program “Sunday Morning.”<\/p>\n

Asked if he was considering a run, Newsom said, “Yeah, I’d be lying (if I said) otherwise.”<\/p>\n

Under the U.S. Constitution, Trump is prohibited from running for a third term but has floated the idea regardless<\/a>, saying earlier this year, “there are methods which you could do it.”Newsom has pushed California to the forefront of Democratic efforts to redraw congressional maps to counterbalance similar efforts<\/a> by Republican-led states as the two parties fight for control of the U.S. House of Representatives, a chamber where Republicans now hold a narrow majority, in the 2026 elections.<\/p>\n

The governor also has confronted Trump on the president’s military deployment to Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
