  "account": "California Governor Gavin Newsom recently discussed his potential candidacy for the 2028 presidential election during an interview with CNN. Newsom revealed that he would not run for president if Senator Kamala Harris decided to, as he believes a contest between two Democrats would benefit Republicans the most. However, Newsom acknowledged that there was a strong case for a race between Harris and himself, stating that both Democrats and Republicans would welcome such a contest. He emphasized that the decision to run would also depend on the opinions of his wife and school-aged children. Newsom has been considering a presidential run, despite lacking experience in the process, and has been working to expand his national presence.",
