Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Newsom Says He Won't Run For President If Harris Runs Again
Caption: Newsom Says He Won't Run For President If Harris Runs Again. California Governor Gavin Newsom has said he will not run for president in 2028 if former Vice President Kamala Harris launches another White House bid. Newsom told CNN's Jake Tapper that he would step aside if Harris entered the race, saying he would not "waste everyone's time" by competing against her. The comments were Newsom's clearest indication yet of how Harris's decision could shape his own presidential ambitions. Newsom has spent more than a year building a national political profile, while Harris publicly confirmed four months ago that she was considering another run. The Governor argued that a primary battle between them could result in "mutually assured destruction" and benefit their Democratic rivals. Newsom said he and Harris share many of the same supporters and political connections dating back to their careers in San Francisco. Newsom’s position is more definitive than in February, when he said "fate will determine" whether he and Harris would compete against each other.
