"CNN announced a news partnership with the prediction website earlier in the month, saying it will be featured on-air as a real-time data ticker.' Bash continued, [Gavin] Newsom is like, you know, shot up. And in fact, he shot up in August when he started the fight for which he won for Prop50 to change the maps in response to the fact that Texas changed the maps mid-decade. AOC is very far behind him. And Kamala Harris even behind AOC, Bash said."
"Henderson continued: Gavin Newsom, though, has I, think, stolen the spotlight from his fellow Californian by being in Donald Trump's face, right? You look at his Twitter feed, he's very pugnacious, very Trumpian in terms of how he is using intentionally so in really kind of using social media to gather attention. You know, listen, social media is one thing. And going to Iowa and South Carolina and New Hampshire is another. But so far he looks pretty good."
Kalshi prediction-market data shows Gavin Newsom's odds for the 2028 Democratic nomination rose significantly, particularly after August. The rise followed Newsom's redistricting fight and success with Prop50 to change maps. Betting-market positioning places AOC far behind Newsom, with Kamala Harris even trailing AOC. Observers note Newsom's confrontational social-media approach—described as pugnacious and Trumpian—has amplified his national profile. Raphael Warnock is identified as an additional potential contender after recent electoral wins and speeches on spirituality and affordability. Newsom promoted a new book and acknowledged divisive perceptions while benefiting from redistricting success.
