Kamala Harris to decide whether to run for California governor by end of summer
Former Vice President Kamala Harris will decide whether she will run for governor of California by the end of summer, a person familiar with her decision-making process said.
Why? She has been person non grata since the election and has completely checked out. Unless she thinks the ballot initiative to make California a nation will work
Harris didn't even get 1/2 of 1% of the popular vote in either of the two states she primaried in for 2020. Still she somehow became the VP and eventually the presumptive presidential nominee of 2024.
I feel like this is worth reminding people.
Yeah but she was a sitting senator so she was in the club. She was a black woman so she ticked the right boxes to balance out Bidens white man. And she was a prosecutor who worked well with the police so she countered the defund the police message thay centrist dems were sure would sink them.
She was a very very logical choice for Biden's VP.
This comes off very bad for her. Who wants a candidate that isn’t entirely committed or interested in the office they might run for?
WTF? Aren't there other people that can become president or governor? In the case of Trump rocks and organic molecules?
Which candidate will she not be in that election?
No thanks, I'd like an actual progressive for once.
Yeah... Harris was an OK option for president given the state of national politics. But California can do far better.
Good luck with that. The Democrats have sold out to the rich and corporations
She needs to fuck off.
here here... she sucks..
Hear hear* Not trying to be a jerk, just sharing because I thought it was funny the first time I saw the phrase.
Californian here. No.
What are you gonna do, let the other guy win?
/s
I want someone who doesn't seek approval from conservatives. She can fuck off and collect speakers fees for the rest of her life for all I care.
Isn't it obvious? Harris is running for Governor, because Newsom is running for President.
Which will be hilarious if Trump Jr. also runs for President, because his (former) long-time fiancee was also Newsom's ex-wife. Kimberly Guilfoyle will be hitting the interview circuit big-time as the ex-partner of both candidates.
Oh jfc don't. When you blow an election this hard you need to just go away.
Go away Hillary 2 electric boogaloo
Well, you got rump so you should be ecstatic
Harris fucked us with Trump, and now she's trying to fuck us again by losing to another maga retard.
Harris, you are a fucking loser, we don't want you.
Enjoy your rump!
That would be fantastic I would vote for her.
californian here. i hope she portrays being more progressive than she did in her presidential campaign. she seems very politically conservative for wanting the governorship here.
She seems both qualified for the job and motivated to stand up to the Trump administration's aggression, both of which are important qualities in a leader of a US state that happens to be the world's 5th largest economy.
EDIT:
For those who downvoted, perhaps you could use your words to explain what you disagree with in my comment, and why? I don't know Kamala Harris all that well, so if there's something important that I'm missing, I would like to know about it. A downvote doesn't help anyone.
I downvoted mainly because nothing you posted is true
We need a leader that will advocate for our economic class. That's not her.
I've never seen her be anything but a nakedly power hungry, political hack. She's tried to sell herself as both a progressive and conservative liberal, depending on who she's talking to. I wouldn't doubt if sher looses again, she'll go Republican.
International relations standpoint aside, she offered no benefits or relief to the economic woes of the working class other than telling them to suck it up because everything's fine. She ignored progressives in a pathetic attempt at currying favor with the likes of Liz fucking Cheney because she thinks conservatives would actually pick a Democrat over literally any Republican candidate. Everything about her screamed corporatism, the status quo of deadlocked improvements in Congress, and a lack of willingness to meaningfully change things for the better.
She is the quintessential establishment Democrat who would rather campaign for fundraisers than actually act on meaningful legislation. Despite all these (and many more) flaws, I voted for her as she was the only meaningful opposition the DNC could regurgitate out because Biden was too proud to stop his reelection campaign early on. For California governor, I'd want an actual progressive with the intent to make things better over her any day.
I will be sleepless for months, in anticipation of this momentous decision.
Don't
The winner in the general election will almost certainly be a Democrat, but California has an open, top-two primary. If left-leaning voters can unite behind a second Democratic candidate, and Republican voters split their votes between two or more candidates, it’s plausible that the general election could come down to Harris and a second Democrat to her left.
Republicans who have already demonized Harris after the 2024 campaign might then vote for the other Democrat, just on the basis of their negative view of Harris—so Harris being in the race could swing the election further to the left.
