Gavin Newsom visits South Carolina amid speculation about a 2028 presidential campaign.

California Governor Gavin Newsom made his fourth trip to South Carolina, the Democratic Party's first presidential primary state, in what he acknowledged was partly about feeling out a 2028 presidential run. He raised $370,000 for the state Democratic Party and campaigned on opposition to Trump while acknowledging he needs to build connections with Black voters. Multiple outlets published commentary questioning whether California's record under Newsom would help or hinder a national bid.
