Gavin Newsom says he will consider White House run after 2026 elections
CBS News ^ | October 26, 2025 | Robert Costa

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has become one of President Trump's most high-profile adversaries, told "CBS News Sunday Morning" in an exclusive interview that he will consider whether to run for president after the 2026 midterm elections.

In an interview taped Thursday in San Jose, Newsom was asked whether he would give "serious thought" to a White House bid once next year's midterm elections are over.

"Yeah, I'd be lying otherwise," Newsom replied. "I'd just be lying. And I'm not — I can't do that."

Newsom, whose term ends in January 2027 and is prevented from running again due to term limits, cautioned that any decision is years away.

"Fate will determine that," he said, when asked about whether he is moving closer to working out a reason for a national candidacy.

Newsom, 58, has made trips to key battleground states, including a visit this past July to South Carolina, which as of now is slated to host the first Democratic primary in the 2028 presidential election, although that could change.

During that trip, which featured multiple stops and was covered by "CBS News Sunday Morning," Newsom met with state Democratic leaders and stopped by a coffee shop to rally activists and help employees serve espresso drinks.

"I happen to, and thank God, I'm in the right business," Newsom said in the interview, when asked about his evident enjoyment in meeting Democrats in South Carolina. "I love people. I actually love people."

After 2026, Ol’ Jazz Hands won’t be able to kill any more American citizens with his illegal fake CDL army.

The Vatican and its shambling army of Mestizo Orcs will be his major support.

Newsom’s been thinking about it from before he was elected mayor of Fan Francisco in 2003.

“””I happen to, and thank God, I’m in the right business,” Newsom said in the interview, when asked about his evident enjoyment in meeting Democrats in South Carolina. “I love people. I actually love people.”””

***

Liars gotta lie and con men gotta con men. The only reason Newsom might love people is... without people who, would he have to screw over. Look at how many people he has screwed over just in California alone. Not enough. It’s never enough. Nah. Gruesome Newsom now wants the whole country’s population to screw over. He’s just gettin started.

And... considering how unlikely it was that a gay, pro-Muslim with the name Hussein would be elected president just seven years after 9/11... even more strange things could be (something even more wicked) this way coming.

He's lying. He has already decided to run. Democrats lie. It's in their DNA!

Right. What a crock THAT is.

Meanwhile, lets not forget the Pacific Palisades fiasco of which he was governor and with that wretch Mayor, Karen Bass, who was in Africa at the time.

Beat that drum louder please.

After Kammys disastrous $1.5b 107 day campaign in 2024, donors will be very hesitant to shell out cash to these losers.
