Democratic primary field and 2028 election detailed | FOX 10 Talks

California political expert Dan Schnur joined the morning show to analyze the future of Governor Gavin Newsom and other prominent political figures. Newsom, who is set to be turned out as governor next year, has emerged as a vocal critic of Donald Trump, positioning him at the top of most pre-primary polls. Schnur noted that Newsom's real challenge moving forward is what he will talk to the American people about other than his opposition to Trump, as opponents will attempt to paint him as a California liberal in crucial swing states. The discussion also turned to Vice President Kamala Harris and her potential prospects for a 2028 presidential run. Schnur expressed skepticism about her future candidacy, stating there is a growing feeling in many Democratic circles that "her time has passed." He pointed to a practical indicator, noting that Harris and her husband recently purchased a new home in Malibu, which suggests she may be settling in rather than preparing for the rigorous cross-country travel required for another national campaign. Additionally, Schnur highlighted potential Democratic contenders like Josh Shapiro and JB Pritzker but noted far-left anti-Israel sentiments could impact their chances. On the Republican side, the analysis focused on Steve Hilton, who successfully advanced into the top two runoff after winning the Republican primary in California this spring. While praising Hilton's communication skills, Schnur described his path in the deep blue state as an uphill fight. Hilton faces former attorney general Javier Becerra in the runoff election, whose outcome may depend heavily on whether Becerra is tripped up by ongoing legal controversies.
