A Delaware judge has set a March 2028 trial date for California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s $787 million defamation lawsuit against Fox News.
If the case is not settled, dismissed or dropped before the trial date, it would be heard during the 2028 presidential primary elections. A majority of states will hold their primaries on Super Tuesday, March 7, 2028. Newsom, a Democrat, has said he is considering a run for president.
