Hawaii Gov. Green predicts Newsom won't satisfy Americans' desire for a peacemaking leader in 2028

Gov. Josh Green suggests voters may prefer a peacemaker after Trump's presidency and doubts Gavin Newsom's appeal due to perceptions of him as a radical, reflecting early 2028 Democratic positioning.

  • On Thursday at the Western Governors Association meeting in Arizona, Josh Green predicted Americans will want a peacemaker after President Donald Trump's term and questioned if Gavin Newsom fits that role.
  • Background: ambitious Democrats are already jockeying as Newsom, a leading contender, briefly moved toward conciliation earlier this year but faced backlash.
  • Detailing Newsom's actions, Green said politicians skilled in `hand-to-hand combat` won't win voters tired of conflict, citing Newsom's recent fight over National Guard deployment and the redistricting fight approved this month, plus mocking the president on social media.
  • Warning of consequences, Green said the country is dangerously close to a political civil war and he expects the Hawaii governorship next year to be his last elected job.
  • Listing possible leaders, Green cited Wes Moore, Josh Shapiro and Spencer Cox and said he might heal America as president if the nation fell into deep trouble.
