DENVER — Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) could announce a 2028 presidential bid as early as January, hoping to establish himself as the Democratic front-runner. But two potential rivals have already made it clear that the California governor won’t dictate when they enter the race.
Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), speaking Friday at the “What’s Next” post-midterm Democratic conference in Denver, both dismissed the idea that Newsom’s timetable would influence their own decisions. Newsom, for his part, wasn’t in Denver, but instead opted to attend the COP31 climate summit in Turkey, reprising his self-appointed role of shadow president where he repeatedly bashed President Donald Trump.
