Gavin Newsom's Political Ascendancy Amidst Harris' Setback and GOP Ambitions
TL;DR Summary
California Governor Gavin Newsom faces significant challenges in a potential 2028 presidential run, despite his increased national profile. Following Kamala Harris' loss to Donald Trump, Newsom's prospects are weakened due to skepticism about another California candidate and his liberal policies. Democrats may seek a centrist approach to regain lost ground with working-class and nonwhite voters, complicating Newsom's path. His future success may depend more on the political climate in the coming years than his actions now.
