Gavin Newsom considering White House run after 2026 midterms

SUMMARY

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is considering a presidential run after the 2026 elections. In a recent interview, he stated, "Yeah, I'd be lying otherwise" if he said he hadn't considered it. With his term ending in January 2027 due to term limits, Newsom emphasized that any decision is still years away.

He has been active in key battleground states and recently visited South Carolina to engage with local Democrats. Newsom is currently focused on passing Proposition 50 in California, which could reshape congressional district boundaries ahead of upcoming elections. His commitment to addressing democracy and election integrity remains strong.
