Former First Lady Michelle Obama and California Governor Gavin Newsom are drawing increasing political and cultural attention, fueling speculation about potential presidential ambitions.
Both Obama and Newsom have recently launched podcasts—Obama’s focuses on lifestyle and personal narratives, while Newsom’s leans into political discourse. The move comes as the Democratic Party faces internal uncertainty, with Vice President Kamala Harris struggling to maintain a strong national presence after her 2024 election loss.
Newsom has subtly shifted his political stance in recent months, engaging with conservative figures and signaling a move toward the center. His recent discussion with right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, where he expressed a changed stance on transgender athletes in sports, has drawn attention from both ends of the political spectrum.
Michelle Obama, meanwhile, remains one of the most admired public figures in the U.S. While she has repeatedly dismissed the idea of running for office, her increased media presence has kept her name in conversations about the future of Democratic leadership.
Neither has formally announced a campaign, but with the party searching for its next leader, both Obama and Newsom are being closely watched as potential contenders for 2028.
