Kamala Harris Considering Running For California Governor

Kamala Harris the former vice president is seriously considering contending for the role of California governor. The outlet reported that while at a pre-Oscar party, the California native was asked about running for the position. She responded that she had given herself a deadline to make the decision term limits prevent current Governor Gavin Newsom from running again in 2026. The outlet noted a recent survey was conducted for Emerson College Polling, where 57% of voters were prepared to vote for Harris as governor. “If [former] Vice-president Harris enters the Democratic primary, she would start as the clear favorite. Without Harris in the race, the primary is wide open,” detailed Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling Harris has repeatedly shared the message “I am staying in this fight,” with supporters in private phone calls and gatherings. “Her name recognition, her favorables, her ability to run a successful campaign would have the impact of clearing the field on the Democratic side,” explained State Attorney General Rob Bonta to Politico. He will not run for governor partially due to the likelihood of a Harris campaign. “If anyone wants to stay in, will I tell them, ‘You should leave because she’s clearing the field?’ Absolutely not. They can run. I think they’ll lose, and I will support her.
