Gavin Newsom hasn’t launched his rumored White House bid, but already has one deep-pocketed Hollywood billionaire fully in his corner.
Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings is all in on Newsom for president in 2028 — gushing over the publicity-loving California governor as a Democrat who can unify the flailing party and beat a Republican successor to President Donald Trump.
“Gavin is the candidate who can motivate both the left and the center,” Hastings told the LA Times. The comments come as Newsom not-so-subtly lays the groundwork for a presidential bid — raising millions through a national committee, Campaign for Democracy, and hogging the spotlight on a coast-to-coast book tour through Democratic primary states.

Just say “no freakin’ way” to gruesome newsom. He screwed up CA and now he wants a chance at the nation. No, gruesome newsom, your record proves you’re a moron to say the least.

😂😂😂😂😂. Fookin’ idjit! But, his money.
Yes, didn’t Trump win then in 2024.
I hope Hastings is greatly disappointed with his Newscum investment.
Newsom is emboldened because he’s going to win the Fuentes and Woke Right vote; Candace Owens and all the rest of them I guess.
They all seem to now be openly talking about Newsom positively or Democrats in general.
No Grusome NewScum....
America already had its bellyful of the botox Peelousi regime....
Here’s hoping his mega-$$$$ get sucked into the same black hole that was the Harris campaign in 2024.

I used to work for and with people with developmental disabilities. Some of them could have been called morons back in the day.
One of my clients noticed something that applies to Newscum. The client noticed a "regular" person (fool) acting like a Newscum. The client stated "I may be retarded, but that guy is stupid."
Isn’t he the one bankrolling E. Jean Carroll in her sex accusation and lawsuits against President Trump?
Hastings had probably been looking for a guy he could get behind, and finally found one.
SMART ENOUGH TO BUILD NETFLIX & DUMB ENOUGH TO SUPPORT NEWSOM???
THAT IS A NON-MATCH
ONLY THOSE DEMS RUNNING TO MAGA.
Even the left is getting sick of this clown
Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings has faced scrutiny, such as a 2012 SEC investigation into his social media use (which resulted in no action) and false rumors regarding his arrest, but has no criminal record.
<><>In 2020, social media posts claimed Hastings was arrested for child pornography; fact-checkers confirmed these stories were fabricated.
<><>The SEC investigated Hastings in 2012 for announcing Netflix data on Facebook, but the commission determined not to pursue enforcement action.
<><>In 2005-2009, he faced controversy regarding his role on the Ca State Bd of Education, leading to his resignation, but this was a political dispute, not a criminal matter.
As of May 2026, there are no credible reports indicating any change to this record.
