WASHINGTON \u2014 California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in an interview aired on Sunday that he is considering running for U.S. president in 2028 and will make a decision after the 2026 midterm elections.<\/p>\n
Newsom has made some moves this year to test the waters for a potential presidential run and has gained prominence within his party in confronting President Donald Trump on a range of issues.<\/p>\n
“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, saying earlier this year, “there are methods which you could do it.”<\/p>\n
Newsom has pushed California to the forefront of Democratic efforts to redraw congressional maps to counterbalance similar efforts 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","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WASHINGTON \u2014 California Gov.
