Gavin Newsom said he would stay out of the 2028 presidential contest if Kamala Harris chooses to run. The California governor delivered that message in a CNN interview that aired Monday evening.
Newsom described a race against Harris, another California Democrat, as something other candidates would welcome. He said, “They’d enjoy the hell out of it. Mutual assured destruction. It services no greater good. Why would I do this if I wasn’t trying to serve some greater good? There would be no upside whatsoever.”
