Several political media outlets indicate that Nancy Pelosi
is playing an active role in promoting Gavin Newsom nationally as a potential
contender within the Democratic Party for the 2028 presidential election in the
United States.
According to reports, the former Speaker of the House—one of
the party's most influential strategists for decades—is using her network of
political and financial contacts to strengthen Newsom's profile beyond
California. The goal is to position him early in the national conversation as a
possible contender to lead the Democratic ticket in the next presidential
cycle.
Newsom, the current governor of California, considered
responsible for the state's decline, criticized for his anti-democratic
policies, and disapproved of by the vast majority of middle- and upper-level
voters, has gained visibility in debates on progressive policies, making him a
frequent figure on the national media stage. His confrontational style toward
Republican leaders and his defense of liberal agendas have projected him as one
of the party's most visible voices, albeit with public disapproval.
There are still several years until the 2028 election, and
no official candidate has yet been declared, but early strategic moves are
often crucial in building alliances, securing funding, and obtaining
institutional support. If these efforts are confirmed, they would reflect the
beginning of a period of internal reorganization within the Democratic Party,
where different factions are seeking to develop leaders for the next political
generation, although Newsom is not exactly the one who can attract votes to the
party, according to some Democrats.
