California Governor Gavin Newsom told "CBS Sunday Morning" that he would seriously consider a 2028 US presidential run after next year's midterm elections. "I'd be lying," Newsom admitted. A high-profile figure within the Democratic Party, Newsom has been increasing his national profile in recent years. His aggressive communication style has been seen as a deliberate imitation of Trump's social media tactics, including the use of all-caps posts, memes, and merchandise. His political feud with Trump has escalated, with the two sides clashing repeatedly over immigration protests, the deployment of the National Guard, and the Texas redistricting issue. Newsom is currently pushing California's Proposition 50, a redistricting bill aimed at adding five House seats to the Democratic Party. The vote on that bill closes on November 4th. In the interview, he described Trump as an "invasive species," saying he "has destroyed the symbolism of the White House and is destroying alliances, truth, and institutions." Newsom also launched a podcast this year, attempting to cultivate a centrist image. Guests have included Steve Bannon, Tim Waltz, and Jasmine Crockett. (Golden Ten)
