Will she call it a Kamback?
According to a report from Politico, former Vice President and failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris is expected to decide on a California gubernatorial run by the summer.
From Politico:
Harris was asked by another partygoer when she would make a decision about jumping into the California governor’s race. She gave a definitive answer, according to two people with knowledge of the conversation: the end of the summer.
And in calls to supporters, allies and trusted aides in recent weeks, Harris has made clear that she plans to make a decision in a few months.
Harris’ timeline, reported here first, is the clearest indication to date that she may enter the race to succeed the termed-out Gavin Newsom in the Golden State. And, allies said, a win would almost certainly take a 2028 presidential run — which Harris is still mulling — off the table.
Harris maintains significant leads in early national polls of the field of possible candidates, yet she’s had some frank conversations with advisers and confidants in Washington about how difficult they expect the presidential primary to be.
Some big names are already lining up behind Harris.
“I hope she does [run]. I have already raised my hand to endorse her, if she does,” state Attorney General Rob Bonta said of the ex-veep’s potential gubernatorial campaign.
“But I think only Kamala Harris knows the answer.”
Current Governor Gavin Newsom is term-limited at the end of 2025 and won’t be able to run again for governor of California.
