Report: Nancy Pelosi Aiming to Push Gavin Newsom for 2028
Breitbart ^ | 15 Feb 2026 | Paul Bois

Posted on 02/15/2026 9:40:45 PM PST by Olog-hai

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D) reportedly wants to push California Gov. Gavin Newsom as the 2028 Democratic nominee for president.

Sources close to Pelosi told Axios that the Democratic Party leader has been pushing Newsom for 2028 behind closed doors, given that the two have been working together, going back to his days as San Francisco mayor.

“Pelosi has one of the strongest donor networks in Democratic politics. She’s been a key validator for Newsom as he’s emerged on the national stage and become one of President Trump’s most visible foes,” noted Axios. …

Not a huge surprise.
What is somewhat surprising, is I hear Nancy will also be endorsing Jack aka Goofball Schlossberg in his run for Congress. I would not expect her to chose being linked to the potentially biggest political trainwreck ever in the Dem Party, and that’s saying a lot.

Dementia is a sad thing.

As a voter in San Francisco, I’ve probably seen Gavin Newsom’s name on perhaps a dozen or so ballots over the last quarter century... and I have a perfect record of NOT voting for him.

So maybe I’m biased, but damn I just don’t get the appeal. The guy has literally failed at everything in every office. At every step of the way, whether in SF or at the state level, The Gav has a perfect record of making every problem WORSE during his tenure in office. Whether you’re talking about homelessness, crime, drug abuse, education, taxes, business climate, unemployment, housing, budgets, everything... the man is a DESTROYER.

There’s not a single thing that Gav can point to as a success... nothing... zilch... other than perhaps being one the Democrat party’s leading anti-Trump trolls. Is that enough? Really? I don’t know how you run a presidential campaign on that basis. The dirty little secret is that Gav is a weaker candidate than Kamala Harris... because he owns the problems of SF and CA in ways that she as the non-chief executive really didn’t.

Hasn’t she lost most of her power? She can hardly form a sentence.

It’s a “keep the family in political power in order to keep the political power in the family”. Criminals them all.

She can’t give it up. Always the plans within plans. Always scheming. She is not bright—- just listen to the things she says. But ruthless and relentless, and that’s gotten her to where she was. Shivved her good buddy Joe right in the back to pull off her brilliant plan to elect her chosen substitute. A political genius, she

When she tips over, I’m gonna print off her picture for toilet paper.

Better yet, I’m gonna leave it under a pile of dog squeeze on the bike path.

Who’s the bigger trainwreck, Pelosi, Schlossberg or Newsom?

Keeping in in the family ... sort of.

“Gavin Newsom and Nancy Pelosi are connected through a former marriage, often described as being extended family by marriage rather than blood. Barbara Newsom, Gavin’s aunt, was once married to Ron Pelosi, who is the brother-in-law of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. This relationship existed before the divorce in 1977. “
