During a new interview with CBS Sunday Morning, taped Thursday in San Jose, Newsom was asked if he has given “serious thought” to running for office after the 2026 midterm elections are over. “Yeah, I’d be lying otherwise. I’d just be lying. And I’m not — I can’t do that,” Newsom said before adding that the decision is years away, “Fate will determine that.” The Governor of California’s term ends in January 2027. He is unable to run again due to term limits.

Who the hell knows? I’m looking forward to who presents themselves in 2028 and who meets that moment. That’s the question for the American people.” In addition to Newsom, Kamala Harris also recently spoke about how she isn’t ruling out another run for the White House. “I am not done,” Harris said to BBC. However, the former vice-president added that she hasn’t decided whether she’s running for the 2028 presidential campaign. “I have lived my entire career a life of service, and it’s in my bones. And there are many ways to serve,” Harris said. “I’ve never listened to polls.” THR Newsletters Sign up for THR news straight to your inbox every day Kamala Harris Says She’s “Not Done” With Politics united talent agency UTA Chief Jay Sures Denounces Antisemitism at Jewish Federation Los Angeles Gala General News Peter Zerzan’s ‘The Tourist’ Begins Its Festival Journey at the 20th San Francisco Short Film Festival donald trump Historic White House Movie Theater Demolished as Part of $300 Million Ballroom Build Zohran Mamdani Zohran Mamdani’s Hollywood Ad Appeal Michael Keaton Michael Keaton Declares Love for “Immigrant Cities” at Pittsburgh Walk of Fame Ceremony: “My Own Family Looks Like the U.N.” The Hollywood Reporter is a part of Penske Media Corporation. © 2025 The Hollywood Reporter, LLC.
