High-profile real estate investor Grant Cardone is publicly considering the possibility of running for governor of California in 2026.
Cardone is the founder of multiple companies including 10X Studios, Cardone Ventures and 10X Health System, and a co-founder/investor in 16 other businesses. On his X page, he stated, “Grant Cardone is considering moving back to the state of California to run for governor to save the state of California from itself.” He also stated, “America is going to lose one of our greatest resources if we allow the state to run its current course.”
Cardone campaigned for Donald Trump in this year’s election and used both social media and broadcast media appearance to criticize the Biden-Harris administration’s housing policies. For his potential campaign against Democratic incumbent Gavin Newsom, he is offering a Trumpesque slogan “Make California Wealthy Again.”
Newsom has been governor since 2019 and is widely considered to be a frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination for 2028. California last elected a Republican governor in 2006 when Arnold Schwarzenegger achieved re-election.

It’s a long shot, but best of luck to Grant Cardone.
Need to help him get back California.
Success breeds success. Good luck to him!! We NEED saving, badly!!
If I lived in California, I would vote for Grant!
The last thing California or any other state needs for that matter is more trump lunacy hypocrisy grifting misogyny zenophobia racism family separations and outright lying to the American people by him or his sycophants. Keeping California Blue!!
If you want to talk about hypocrisy, lunacy, grifting, misogyny, zenophobia, and racism bullshit just turn to your CA governor-or any other typical democrat. Grow your own brain and USE it.
He would really need a Republican legislature instead of the many Democrat-socialists that currently dominate this body of government. As Governor he would have some executive authority but it would be limited. I hope he returns and wins. Yes, California needs a Trump like leader to help turn things around.
78 million Americans disagree with you!
And the rest of Americans? All 257 million?
The Democrats are working hard to permanently ruin CA…good luck. It would be nice to see CA rescued from the communists turning it into a 3rd world mess that will drag the entire country down. CA was once a beautiful state where people were free and safe.
California is free and safe and we are going to keep it that way
We need some serious help out in Ca. Grant Cardone would be a strong candidate in bringing slimeball Grewsome down.
I would vote for you in a heartbeat, Grant. I wish you the best of luck.
You folks are joking, right? SMH.
We as Americans, seem to be stuck on shiney things. California is no different.
Sigh.
Mr. Cardone? Let’s be real here….you’re rich. Put up, or shut up.
File for real, or be another blowhard akin to Gavin: all speech, no substance.
Naranjo IV Ca State Gov, 2026. I’ll be in, will you?
Ps…I want Ms. Harris to run in Cali too. Be real and stop letting lemmings talk for you. Join, or be gone.
Kamala Harris? Are you serious? If she was able to spend nearly $2B in 100 days or so for a failed campaign, and to be over $20M in debt, that alone tells you how she’ll treat with America’s money. And this case, how’ll she’ll treat California’s money. I say HELL TO THE NO to Kamala Harris.
