Newsom Says He Will Decide in Early January Whether to Run for President in 2028
Türkiye — California Governor Gavin Newsom, attending the COP31 climate conference in Türkiye, told Anadolu Agency on Thursday (Nov. 12) that he will decide in early January whether to run for president in 2028, and will first spend the coming weeks with his family. It is the clearest timetable he has given so far on a possible candidacy. Newsom's term as governor ends next January.
During the trip, Newsom promoted California's environmental policies, criticized the Trump administration's withdrawal from global climate agreements, and met Brazilian President Lula to discuss expanding climate cooperation between California and Brazil; he and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, also visited a forestry training center to exchange wildfire-management experience.
