Dem rivals Gavin Newsom, Kamala Harris locked in bitter feud ahead of 2028 White House race

San Francisco Democrats Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris may publicly sing each other’s praises — but the frenemies are privately at each other’s throats as they both eye a 2028 White House bid.The two star Dems may be careening towards a “murder-suicide,” as one advisor once put it to the San Francisco Chronicle, if both decide to run for president, as petty feuds over book sales, a “hiking” snub and Harris’ decision to stay out of the California governor’s race boil over behind closed doors.Newsom and Harris are at the top of 2028 Democratic presidential polls in what could be their first head-to-head competition since they both launched their careers in San Francisco more than 20 years ago. “They’ve been kind of like two cats, circling each other in an alley for years, politically speaking,” Democratic strategist Garry South, who worked for Newsom, told the Wall Street Journal. The longstanding rivalry between them erupted when the two released memoirs within months of one another, sources said. Newsom and Harris kept watch on one another’s book sales: Harris’ book released in September, “107 Days,” has sold roughly 385,000 copies while Newsom’s “Young Man in a Hurry” has sold more than 100,000 since its February release, the WSJ reported. A Newsom ally told The Post that the governor was “p—ed off” and “very hurt” when Harris spilled in her book, “107 Days,” that Newsom snubbed her when she reached out for support after Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race.“Hiking.Will call back,” Newsom reportedly texted. The California governor felt Harris made him look like a jerk when he had actively stumped on her behalf and even gave her a rousing introduction at the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago.The personal tension only deepened after Harris declined to run for governor — a race many Democrats believe she could have easily won — while continuing to tease another run for president.�...
