Gavin Newsom just made his clearest 2028 pledge yet\u2014and it gives Kamala Harris the first move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI wouldn\u2019t run if she ran,\u201d Newsom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/gavin-newsom-promises-not-to-run-for-president-if-kamala-wants-it?author=Brecca+Stoll&amp;category=undefined&amp;elementPosition=5&amp;row=3&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+News&amp;rowType=Vertical+Carousel&amp;title=Gavin+Newsom+Promises+Not+To+Run+For+President+If+Kamala+Wants+It\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">told <\/a>CNN anchor Jake Tapper during a fly-fishing interview in Montana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tapper wrote that the answer left him \u201cstunned.\u201d Newsom, however, described the decision as simple political math.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhy would I?\u201d Newsom said. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t do that to her. I wouldn\u2019t do it to me. \u2026 I won\u2019t waste everyone\u2019s time. Who needs that?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The governor argued that a primary battle between two nationally known California Democrats\u2014with overlapping donors, allies and supporters\u2014would create an opening for everyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFirst of all, electorally it\u2019s a gift from God for everybody else,\u201d Newsom said. \u201cThey\u2019d enjoy the hell out of it. Mutual assured destruction. It serves no greater good.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tapper pressed him on the obvious counterargument: Harris launched a presidential campaign in 2019 but withdrew before the 2020 primaries, then became the Democratic nominee in 2024 and lost the general election. Newsom, by contrast, has never tested himself in a national campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Newsom conceded the point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat would be the case you\u2019d make,\u201d he said. \u201cPretty good one, actually. That\u2019s objectively true.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But he returned to the personal and political overlap between them. \u201cI know her base of supporters, I know her friends,\u201d Newsom said, adding that the Venn diagram was \u201cpure crossover.\u201d He said he would not force those allies to choose sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pledge is a noticeable step beyond Newsom\u2019s answer in February. Asked by CNN\u2019s Dana Bash what would happen if the two longtime California figures collided in 2028, Newsom said \u201cfate will determine that\u201d and added, \u201cI\u2019ve never gotten in the way of her ambition, ever.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now he has converted that vague deference into a public condition: if Harris runs, he says he is out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That does not mean Newsom has abandoned his own presidential ambitions. His second and final term as governor ends in January, and his political activity has increasingly reached beyond California. He launched the podcast \u201cThis Is Gavin Newsom,\u201d traveled to South Carolina\u2014an early Democratic nominating state\u2014and said he would give a White House campaign \u201cserious thought\u201d after the 2026 midterms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Newsom also promoted a national fundraising drive tied to California\u2019s 2025 redistricting fight. The Daily Wire reported that some of its digital ads targeted donors outside California, fueling speculation that the effort could also help him expand a national fundraising list. A spokeswoman for the campaign rejected that interpretation, saying the out-of-state appeals were intended to rally opposition to Republican-led redistricting efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Newsom\u2019s new promise appears narrowly tailored. The Daily Wire reported that he did not offer the same assurance when Tapper raised Rep. Ro Khanna, another California Democrat whose name has surfaced in 2028 discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Harris, meanwhile, has not announced a decision. She said in July that she had \u201cnot made a decision,\u201d and more recently said the 2026 midterms were occupying her attention \u201cfull time.\u201d Her campaign schedule includes appearances for Democratic candidates in California, Nevada and Georgia, keeping her active in both battlegrounds and an early presidential primary state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, the most consequential move in Newsom\u2019s possible 2028 campaign may belong to Harris. His pledge removes the prospect of a direct California showdown\u2014if he keeps it\u2014but it also leaves his path dependent on a decision he cannot control.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>California Gov.
