Kamala Harris Weighs Political Future: Governor or President?
Kamala Harris, the former Vice President and 2024 Democratic nominee, is weighing her political future. She has set a deadline of the end of summer to decide her next move, which could be a run for California governor in 2026 or another presidential bid in 2028.
Harris commemorated the one-year anniversary of her 2024 presidential campaign, which she launched after Joe Biden's withdrawal on July 21, 2024. She became the first Black and Indian American woman to win a presidential nomination. Despite her historic nomination, Harris lost the 2024 election to Donald Trump, leaving Democrats reeling and searching for a winning message.
Harris' campaign raised a record $1 billion in just one quarter, demonstrating her fundraising prowess. However, historically, nominees who lose the presidency typically don't go on to win the nomination again. As she considers her next steps, Harris has not publicly declared her plans for the 2026 California governor race or the 2028 U.S. presidential election.
With her self-imposed deadline approaching, Kamala Harris is expected to announce her next political move soon. Her decision will significantly impact the Democratic Party's strategy for upcoming elections, as they continue to navigate their voice post-election.
