Even though the 2028 election is years away, that is not stopping people from speculating about who the candidates will be on both sides.
For the Republicans, it currently looks like Vice President JD Vance will easily walk away with the nomination. On the Democrat side, there is more speculation because the party does not currently have a leader. Democrats will probably be looking at a very crowded primary election.
For some liberals in Hollywood, however, the argument is already settled. They are putting their early money on California Governor Gavin Newsom.
Deadline reports:
Newsom 2028: Hollywood Donors Start Lining Up Behind Expected White House Bid; “He’s A Fighter, That’s What We Need!”
Later this week, Gavin Newsom will once again command a portion of the national spotlight.
Set as the marquee interview for the New York Times‘ annual DealBook Summit, the California governor is attracting a lot of big league attention of late all across the nation. Back on the West Coast, and in Hollywood in particular, the Donald Trump-battling Newsom is also increasingly viewed as ready for his close-up as a favorite of influential and deep-pocketed industry donors for the 2028 White House race.
“He’s a fighter, that’s what we need!” a top-tier producer, and reliable Dem ATM over the decades, told Deadline of Newsom. “I just wish more Democrats, like Schumer and the leadership (in Congress), would emulate him, not take any sh*t from Trump,” the producer added of Newsom and his Trump 2.0 strategy of throwing punches online and off line at the authoritarian “loser” White House…
If Newsom does run in ’28, as is widely anticipated and essentially confirmed pre-midterms by the contender himself, the governor clearly has some built in advantages over rivals when it comes to drawing Tinseltown money and high-profile support.
These donors are missing a big part of the picture here. Gavin Newsom is going to have to answer tough questions about the fact that California is losing population on his watch, not to mention his disastrous response to the wildfires and the lack of rebuilding.
There are many industry Palisades Fire victims SUING Gavin Newsom for burning their homes down, and they will use their settlement money to fund his Presidential campaign so he can bring his unique brand of destruction to the entire country.

The simple truth is that the rest of the country does not want to be turned into California.
