## Summary

California Governor Gavin Newsom says he will decide in early January whether to seek the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028. The announcement, made during a climate conference trip to Turkey, gives a clearer timetable for a possible campaign while he continues to criticise President Donald Trump and promote California’s climate policies abroad.

Newsom met Brazil’s president, agreed a climate partnership with Portugal and took part in discussions on wildfire training. His international travel has been funded by the California State Protocol Foundation, whose donors and fundraisers are reportedly among the subjects of federal inquiries into his travel and expenses. Prediction markets put his nomination chances at 7%; Newsom has also said he would not run if former Vice-President Kamala Harris enters the race, and that his family must support a campaign.
