- Former California governor and Hollywood legend Arnold Schwarzenegger called a presidential run by current Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) a “no-brainer” on Tuesday in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter.
- “I think [Newsom running for president] is a no-brainer. Every governor from a big state wants to take that shot,” Schwarzenegger said.
- Though Newsom told the Biden White House that he is not planning to run for president in 2024, he is seen as preparing the ground for a possible run in the event that Biden changes his mind about running for reelection.
