Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings publicly backs California Gov. Gavin Newsom for the 2028 presidential election, according to multiple outlets. The reports describe Hastings as supporting Newsom as the governor considers a possible White House run, and they characterize him as among the earliest major Democratic donors to do so publicly. The coverage also notes that Hastings is a longtime supporter of Newsom, including language that he is a “big fan.” While the articles agree on Hastings’ endorsement and Newsom’s prospective candidacy for 2028, they do not provide detailed information on campaign plans, timing, or policy specifics. The reports focus primarily on the political significance of a prominent technology billionaire signaling support. Overall, the information presented is limited to the fact of Hastings’ backing and the framing that it represents an early show of support from a high-profile Democratic-leaning megadonor.
