In a CBS interview Sunday, Newsom was asked if he was considering putting his name on the hat.

– Yes, I would be lying if I said otherwise, replied the 58-year-old, who has stood out as one of the strongest and most outspoken Trump critics among the Democrats.

Newsom has been governor of California since 2019 and will step down in 2026 after serving two terms.
