Gavin Newsom, California's Democratic governor, has confirmed he is considering a run for president in 2028, stating that his decision will be made after the 2026 midterm elections. His term as governor ends in January 2027 and due to term limits, he cannot seek re-election. Newsom has been a vocal critic of the Trump administration through social media and political actions. Recently, Sean Duffy, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation under Trump, threatened to withhold federal funds from California over issues related to commercial drivers' licenses. A CBS poll shows that 72% of Democrats and 48% of all registered voters support Newsom's potential presidential bid in 2028.
