California Gov. Gavin Newsom confirmed on Sunday that he was specifically considering a bid for president in 2028, but added that he was focused on helping his party win seats in Congress in the upcoming midterms first.
Newsom spoke with Robert Costa on CBS’s Sunday Morning and discussed his bid to bring his brand to a national stage, including to red and purple states. The two spoke in California but Newsom was as recently as July in South Carolina — a red state, and also a pivotal early primary state on the Democratic Party election calendar.
