California Governor Gavin Newsom recently admitted that he is considering a presidential run in 2028, stating candidly that he would “be lying” if he said otherwise.

During a conversation with CBS News’s Robert Costa, recorded on Thursday, Newsom was questioned about his potential presidential ambitions. Costa inquired whether it would be accurate to suggest that Newsom might seriously contemplate a presidential bid after the 2026 midterms.

“Yes, I’d be lying otherwise. I can’t do that,” Newsom responded, acknowledging his interest openly.

Costa also mentioned that while observing Newsom interact with prospective voters in South Carolina over the summer, he thought, “This guy might run for president.”

Newsom laughed and said, “I have no idea.”

“The idea that a guy who got 960 on his SAT, that still struggles to read scripts, that was always in the back of the classroom the idea that you even throw that out is, in and of itself, extraordinary,” Newsom continued.

“Who the hell knows,” he added. “I’m looking forward to who presents themselves in 2028 and who meets that moment. And that’s the question for the American people.”

Newsom has emerged as one of the most high-profile opponents of President Trump’s since he returned to the White House in January.

In the interview, which aired on “CBS News Sunday Morning,” Newsom called the president an “invasive species” and a “wrecking ball” and nodding to the demolition of the White House’s East Wing, as well as to some of the president’s global policies.

“He’s a wrecking ball, not just the symbolism and substance of the East Wing. He’s wrecking alliances, truth, trust, tradition, institutions.”
