Gavin Newsom — While Fishing With Jake Tapper — Says He’s Out on 2028 Run if Kamala Harris Is In

If she’s in, he’s out.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) told CNN anchor Jake Tapper he will not run for president in 2028 if former Vice President Kamala Harris decides to try again. The liberal governor dished the revelation on Monday while he and Tapper were recorded fly fishing together in Montana — and it appeared to mildly stun the news host.

“I wouldn’t run if she ran,” Newsom said.

Tapper turned to the gov while holding his poll in the air and confirmed, “If she runs, you will not?”

Newsom acted like it was obvious he should bow out if Harris opts to run.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Which means Newsom is NOT running because Kamala will be running for sure. This is probably his excuse for not running so as to avoid admitting that he won't run because of the federal investigations of him and his corrupt wife.

He’s lying.

He's lying about the REASON why he would quit not about quitting the race. He is just looking for a reason to quit the race and he knows Kamala will definitely be running.
