Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) is taking a more aggressive abortion-rights stance in the lead-up to the 2028 presidential race compared to other leading Democrats.

Newsom, who is widely considered a leading Democrat for the next presidential election, has in recent weeks taken a more heavy-handed approach on the controversial issue of abortion than other possible 2028 Democrat candidates, such as Govs. Andy Beshear (D-KY) and Josh Shapiro (D-PA).
