Harris, Newsom, Democrats aren’t trying to hide their presidential aspirations

Former Vice President Kamala Harris and California Gov. Gavin Newsom are openly acknowledging their interest in a 2028 White House run. This marks a departure from traditional political gamesmanship where potential presidential candidates often downplay their aspirations. The early and open declarations indicate that the 2028 Democratic primary has effectively begun, much earlier than typical cycles. This approach allows these Democratic figures to position themselves and build support well in advance of the next election.
