Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:16:59 GMT

(The Hill) - While California Gov. Gavin Newsom has repeatedly denied that his sights are set on the White House, experts believe that it’s not a question of if he will run for president, but when.Newsom, 55, has long been seen as a politician with Washington ambitions, and while no Democrat has ever jumped from the California governor’s mansion to the White House, many believe Newsom would like to be the first.“My sense is that the governor is trying to leave his options open,” Eric Schickler, a political science professor at the University of California, Berkeley, told The Hill. “I don’t think there’s any expectation at all he would challenge Joe Biden for reelection.”“Building a national profile now, the most likely scenario where that really comes to fruition is for 2028,” Schickler said.Newsom has been working to do just that, particularly in battling Florida Gov.

By Katelyn Polantz | CNNFormer President Donald Trump has appealed a judge’s order that former Vice President Mike Pence must testify to a federal grand jury investigating the 2020 election aftermath but hasn’t gotten a court’s intervention to block Pence from testifying, according to a person familiar with the case.Trump’s attempt to claim executive privilege around their conversations is considered a long shot, given that the former president has lost several attempts in court to block other top officials from his administration from testifying.Pence has said he would not appeal the judge’s order from late March and would comply with his subpoena. He could be called before the grand jury as early as this week.Sealed filings in the DC Circuit Court of Appeals related to Trump’s appeal came in on Monday and do not indicate Trump is seeking any emergency intervention at this time, though one of his lawyers was spotted at the courthouse on Monday.Se...
