I'd just be lying, and I can't do that." He added, "I think the biggest challenge for anyone who runs for any office is, people see right through you. If you don't have that why,' you're doing it for the wrong reasons. Faith will determine that.""
"It was clear then that Newsom was preparing the ground for an eventual presidential run himself, and that preparation has only continued with appearances on Bill Maher's show, his dudebro-courting podcast in which he interviewed right-wing figures, and his aggressive campaign to mock Trump using his own bombastic rhetoric and methods on social media. Now in a Sunday interview on , Newsom came clean for the first time when answering the question of whether he's going to run for the presidency."
California Governor Gavin Newsom has increased his national media presence over the last two years as preparation for a presidential run. He previously challenged Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to a Fox News debate despite not running at the time. Newsom has appeared on Bill Maher's show, hosted a podcast featuring right-wing figures, and used social media to mock Donald Trump. In a Sunday interview he acknowledged he is seriously considering a presidential bid after the midterms, saying he would be lying otherwise and emphasizing authenticity and faith.
