US EditionGov. Gavin Newsom Tries to Rebrand Himself Ahead of a Potential Presidential Run
- California Governor Gavin Newsom is rebranding himself toward the political center in 2025 amid speculation about a 2028 presidential run.

- Newsom recently proposed limiting health care for undocumented immigrants and urged cities to clear homeless encampments as part of a broader, pragmatic policy realignment.

- Newsom’s centrist moves may attract moderate Democratic voters seen as more electable but risk alienating progressive factions, highlighting significant challenges ahead.
