Joe Concha suggests Newsom sees Harris as a 2028 ‘rival’

Published November 3, 2025 11:03am ET



Washington Examiner Senior Writer Joe Concha predicted Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) will have to compete with former Vice President Kamala Harris for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination.

“[Newsom] clearly does not have an affinity for Kamala Harris. And in the end, I think he now sees her as a possible rival for the nomination, the Democratic nomination in 2028 which he wants to be president more than anything in the world. That is very, very clear,” Concha said on Fox Report with Jon Scott Sunday.
