Steve Hilton, the outspoken Republican running for California governor and former Fox News host, joined Fox News Live to rip apart the recycled chatter that Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris are circling a 2028 White House bid. Hilton made it clear—this isn’t some noble act of leadership, it’s spectacle from career elites who’ve had their chance and blown it. The novelist line of Democrats stepping up to take the reins while our cities burn and families flee is exactly what Californians are fed up with.
Gavin Newsom himself has been forced to wave off the chatter, calling the idea that he’s plotting a presidential tilt “ridiculous” and insisting Joe Biden is the party’s nominee for now. Conservatives shouldn’t be surprised; Newsom’s national grandstanding has always been more about headlines than honest governance. Meanwhile, the casual speculation about Kamala Harris only underscores a Democratic bench reshuffle that offers voters more of the same — elite entitlement, not real solutions.
Hilton didn’t mince words when he pointed to California’s collapse as proof these figures shouldn’t be rewarded with a national platform. He’s running on a platform of rolling back the failed policies that spawned homelessness, soaring costs, and out-migration — and he called complacency “ridiculous” when ordinary people are the ones paying the price. For conservatives who still believe in cities that work and schools that teach, Hilton’s populist pitch is a breath of fresh air against the stench of one-party rule.
Let’s be honest: the idea that a pair of Golden State insiders can suddenly claim the moral authority to lead the nation is a joke to anyone who’s seen the last decade of California politics. Newsom’s stunts and Harris’s uneven public moments have been served up as proof that the Democrat playbook is exhausted and desperate. If Democrats want to run on celebrity and soundbites, fine — but don’t be shocked when hardworking Americans reject that bargain in favor of competence.
What this spectacle really reveals is how hollow establishment politics has become. The same party that pushed radical policies and then expects voters to applaud its anointed coronations thinks the rest of us won’t notice the wreckage. Conservative commentators and rank-and-file Americans alike see through the pretense: the 2028 talk is less about leadership and more about protecting the elite pipeline. The country deserves better than another coronation of California-style governance.
Hardworking Americans aren’t looking for more Washington insiders or for California’s political class to parachute into the White House to double down on failure. They want leaders who will secure communities, restore opportunity, and stop pretending that flashy rhetoric equals results. Steve Hilton is staking a claim to that common-sense fight in California, and conservatives would do well to back candidates who actually stand with the people, not the podium.
This is a warning to every patriot who still believes in the American promise: don’t be fooled by the smoke and mirrors of late-night soundbites and fundraising tours. The 2028 cycle could be a rerun of the same tired elite politics unless conservatives stand up and nominate leaders who put country before career. It’s time to choose competence over celebrity, responsibility over rhetoric, and the American worker over the coastal class.
