California Gov. Gavin Newsom has committed to serving his full term if he wins. But others, including then-Sen. Barack Obama, have said the same and changed their mind.
Presidential aspirants dreaming of the White House while running for reelection to congressional or state posts often face an uncomfortable question: Whatever your higher hopes — and the timing they might demand — will you commit to serving out a full term for the folks who vote for you now?
It's always a high-stakes question, though, and one that often makes for awkward answers — especially when political circumstances are ever-shifting. Still another future possible presidential contender, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, spent Tuesday in Iowa — which will kick off the 2024 GOP primary. Haley campaigned with Gov. Kim Reynolds, who is heavily favored to win reelection, but noted only that she expects to decide whether or not to run by January.
Democrat Martin O'Malley was Maryland's governor for eight years until 2015, then ran unsuccessfully for president. He suggested governors going back to Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton saw their presidential aspirations hurt their popularity back home, where voters"can be resentful and twice as hard on a candidate that they've grown up with and that they've seen."
