Gavin Newsom has endorsed Kamala Harris for President, ruling out a 2024 run.
Tough. Fearless. Tenacious.
With our democracy at stake and our future on the line, no one is better to prosecute the case against Donald Trump's dark vision and guide our country in a healthier direction than America’s Vice President, @KamalaHarris.

California Governor Gavin Newsom is emerging as a strong potential candidate for the 2028 presidential race. With President Joe Biden nearing the end of his term and Vice President Kamala Harris poised to be a significant contender in 2024, Newsom’s name is being floated within Democratic circles as a viable option for the future.
Newsom’s tenure as governor has been marked by ambitious initiatives on climate change, healthcare, and economic inequality. His progressive policies and proactive leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic have bolstered his national profile. Newsom’s efforts to address homelessness and expand renewable energy have particularly resonated with liberal voters.
In the coming years, Newsom is expected to leverage his governorship to further solidify his standing within the Democratic Party. His ability to navigate California’s complex political landscape and enact significant legislation demonstrates his potential as a national leader. Newsom’s strong fundraising capabilities and media savvy could provide a substantial advantage in a crowded primary field.
However, Newsom will need to address ongoing challenges such as California’s housing crisis and economic disparities to strengthen his presidential bid. Critics argue that his administration’s handling of these issues could impact his national appeal.
As the 2028 election approaches, Newsom’s potential candidacy is likely to gain momentum. His blend of progressive ideals and pragmatic governance positions him as a formidable contender, capable of galvanizing support across the Democratic spectrum. Political analysts will be closely watching his next moves as he navigates the path to a potential presidential run.
