On Sunday, June 22, The Hill reported that failed 2020 and 2024 presidential candidate Kamala Harris is “leaning toward entering the [2026] California gubernatorial race, per sources familiar with the former vice president’s thinking.”
“While the sources caution that Harris hasn’t made a final decision yet and is still considering all her options, they say she has made it clear that she is not done with public service and is giving the race strong consideration. Those who have spoken to Harris about the possibility of entering the race say it has given her a renewed sense of excitement and, as one source put it, ‘a glimmer in her eyes,” The Hill reported.
The American people were forced to endure watching Kamala Harris babble and cackle her way across the 2024 presidential campaign trail, once Joe Biden finally malfunctioned to the point that Democrats launched a backroom coup to cancel Biden’s candidacy.
Now, Harris appears keen on inflicting her latest assault against the downtrodden Republic of California, the world’s 4th largest GDP, estimated at $4.1 trillion, greater than all nations of the world besides the US, China, and Germany.
The Hill reported:
Harris has kept a relatively low profile in recent months after a devastating loss in the 2024 presidential election — a race she thought she could win. While California has been in the headlines for a rash of news events, including the protests over Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in Los Angeles earlier this month and the wildfires that ravaged major swaths of the state in January, the extent of Harris’s public involvement has been posts on social platform X.
“Los Angeles is my home,” Harris wrote in a statement earlier this month on the protests. “And like so many Americans, I am appalled at what we are witnessing on the streets of our city. Deploying the National Guard is a dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos. In addition to the recent ICE raids in Southern California and across our nation, it is part of the Trump administration’s cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division.”
Those close to the former vice president say she has been appalled by the Trump administration’s bold moves, like deploying the National Guard. Harris has told confidants that she feels the president is governing by loyalty and retribution and that such actions will propel her to reenter public service.
“This moment almost requires her to do it,” one source close to Harris said.
For MAGA, both Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom’s pitiful response to the recent, violent Los Angeles riots proved that, in 2025, leading Democrats can still only be counted on to adopt dead wrong positions on key issues.
If not for President Trump’s deployment of US Federal Law Enforcement and the National Guard to Los Angeles, the streets of Los Angeles would today still be burning indefinitely.
The Hill reported that California voters may likely continue to support Harris enthusiastically, despite her inseparability from Joe Biden’s failed presidency:
If she chooses to enter the race, her confidants know she will have to contend with looming narratives about whether she helped conceal former President Biden’s decline, something Republicans continue to press her on.
A decision by Harris to run for governor would be significant, political observers say, because it could take a 2028 presidential run off the table.
An Emerson College poll in April revealed that 50 percent of Democratic voters in California would support Harris in a gubernatorial run. A separate survey from Politico/UC Berkeley Citrin Center also released in April revealed that 33 percent of Democratic voters in California would be “joyful” about a Harris bid and 41 percent would be “mostly excited.”
In the face of this month’s protests in Los Angeles, for example, Harris was in the Hamptons attending the wedding of Huma Abedin and Alex Soros — two big names within Democratic circles. In April, Harris spoke at a gala before hundreds of donors in San Francisco and made no mention of state issues or political affairs.
Will Kamala Harris continue to run in circles with the likes of Huma Abedin and Alex Soros, while her “hometown” of Los Angeles is overtaken by civil unrest, or will Harris attempt to “govern” the Republic of California, forgoing another run for president?
