California Governor Gavin Newsom told CNN that he will not run for president in 2028 if Kamala Harris decides to do so, calling such a scenario "mutual assured destruction" with no electoral upside. He emphasized the overlap between their political bases and suggested it would be better service to avoid splitting Democratic votes. Harris has been noncommittal about her own presidential aspirations for 2028, saying she is still considering them but focused on upcoming elections.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
