Kamala Harris Faces a Pivotal Choice: California Governorship or Presidential Ambitions?

Vice President Kamala Harris is at a crossroads, weighing whether to run for California governor in 2026 or keep her sights on the presidency for 2028. Her top aides and allies are split over the decision, as the choice could determine the trajectory of her political career. While the governorship appears to be a natural fit given her decade of statewide service, some believe it could close the door on a presidential bid, an ambition Harris has yet to relinquish.

 

The debate centers on the viability of her candidacy in an expectedly competitive 2028 Democratic primary. Harris earned praise for her surprising and well-funded sprint during the 2024 race, raising over $1 billion and improving her standing. Yet doubts linger about whether she could sustain momentum in a longer campaign against prominent Democratic figures who deferred to Joe Biden and later to her. The risk of falling short again and being rejected by her party looms large.

 

In contrast, a gubernatorial run offers a less risky path. Harris’ history as California’s attorney general and U.S. senator solidifies her as a strong contender, and major potential candidates have indicated they’d likely step aside if she entered the race. However, her advisers agree that pursuing both roles isn’t feasible, as becoming governor would demand immediate focus, while a 2028 presidential bid would require launching a campaign shortly after taking office. This conflict underscores the urgency of her decision, which must come soon after Trump’s anticipated inauguration in January 2025.

 

“If you’re thinking of running for president in 2028, the worst thing you can do is run for governor in 2026,” noted one former adviser. Another close associate argued that a presidential run, even with its uncertainties, is worth sacrificing a gubernatorial bid.

 

Harris herself remains undecided, hinting at her intentions with remarks such as, “You haven’t seen the last of me,” and “I’m not going quietly into the night.” While she hasn’t dismissed the idea of returning to California politics, she has kept a low public profile, hosting a few private events and focusing on connecting with supporters.

 

Some suggest she could bypass both options and transition out of politics entirely, exploring opportunities like writing a book or leading a nonprofit organization. Still, Harris’ camp has ruled out certain moves, such as selling her campaign’s valuable email list, signaling she intends to stay politically engaged in some capacity.

I'd do a stint in rehab if her latest slurring video is anything to go by.

 

Like an embarrassing drunk Aunty at Christmas telling all the kids how much she loves them as they cringe and try to get away from her.

 

Truly embarrassing.

Bwahahahahaha.  Kamala has already surpassed her talent level ala Peter Principle.  But then the people of California do elect people like her so anything is possible I suppose.  But her presidential aspirations are over.  Or should be.  The DEM party will not back her again.

She should be governor of California to continue its progression into a progressive hellhole. Then, when the economy collapses, the water runs out, the Left and  LBTCSQTRAWED+++/--- grooms all the children unwillingly into a life of perversion, children are ripped out of their parents arms and mutilated, there are blackouts and brownouts, all the taxpayers have gone to Texas and the mob rules the streets, the few folks left will vote republican and bring the place to sanity.

You know, I may be reading too much into it but I am sensing that you may not entirely be in favour of California's political trajectory, much as you have inferred, if one considers your more nuanced offerings, that you have reservations about Kamala Harris herself.

 

I have to say, you don't pose particularly appealing choices for the USA, either the dystopian hellhole you portray for a "progressive governed" California or the Trumpian alternative, which after Trump, Musk and the Project 2025 gang have had their way will probably resemble a cross between the breakfast terrace of the 1980s TV soap "Dallas" and the set of "Bladerunner".

 

Even Liverpool would be preferable..

You wouldnt know, you arent American.

 

BTW, so far Trump seems to be doing well, huh. Terrorists on the run, border crossings slowing, world leaders ass kissing, the stock market and crypto surging, folks happy.

 

PS: California is Americas Liverpool
