Political analyst Mark Halperin on Tuesday expressed doubts about Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom launching a 2028 presidential campaign.
Newsom has 7% support among 2028 Democratic primary voters who want to be the Democratic presidential nominee in 2028, followed by Vice President Kamala Harris with 37%. Only. According to Emerson College poll in November. But Halperin suggested on “American Agenda” that Newsom may lack both the ambition and the circumstances necessary to run for the White House.

“What Democrats want is someone who is tough and takes the fight directly.” [President-elect] Donald Trump in a telegenic way… objectively, I think he has some of those skills. I will say this: I continue to believe that people are exaggerating his willingness to run for president at great personal cost,” Halperin said. “Also, it’s not easy to run for president from California geographically in the space-time continuum. And also, when you combine that with the personal challenges, people are exaggerating the chances of him being a major league player in 2020.” I think so.”
“He has young children. He has a wife, but he’s obviously not very enthusiastic about this…A number of governors, including Governor Newsom, who has been talked about as a possible candidate for 2028, have discussed this.” “I think the reality is that they’re not… They’re just people. It’s more ambiguous,” he added. “They’re not motivated. Most people I know who are running for president wake up every morning and say, “What are the 10 things I need to do today to improve my chances of winning?” And if one of them bites off the handcuffs, I don’t think they will.”
Mr. Halperin recently said,morning meetingsays Vice President-elect J.D. Vance’s willingness to give interviews on a variety of platforms gives him a “huge advantage” over other 2028 presidential candidates.
“I think one of the smartest things J.D. Vance could do to establish himself is to appear on these shows on a regular basis. He can do that. “Contrary to popular belief, people in the media are also human beings,” Halperin said. “And if the vice president of the United States stopped by your podcast every month and gave his time, you’d be nice to him.”
However, former CNN political analyst Chris Sillizza also recently speculated about the possibility of Donald Trump Jr. running for the White House in 2028, saying he could inherit his father’s “political movement” rather than Vance’s. suggested that there is a sex.
“Look, at some point there’s going to be an attempt to hand over Trumpism, and Donald Trump is going to want to lead that handover,” Sillizza said. “And the fact that his eldest son is standing there, someone who has shown that he is winning over the MAGA base in a way that few Republicans have, and who himself is extremely popular online.” Who benefits? The social media trolling that comes with being a Trump supporter, the fact that he’s related to Donald Trump, all of this is a sign that Don Jr. I don’t think I can rule out the possibility of running for office.”
