Former Vice President and 2024 presidential candidate Kamala Harris won’t run for Governor.
The New York Times reported this:
Former Vice President Kamala Harris will not run for California governor next year, she announced Wednesday, forgoing another campaign after losing last year’s presidential election.
“For now, my leadership — and public service — will not be in elected office,” Ms. Harris said in a statement.
“I look forward to getting back out and listening to the American people, helping elect Democrats across the nation who will fight fearlessly, and sharing more details in the months ahead about my own plans,” she added.
Ms. Harris, a former U.S. senator and attorney general of California, had been exploring a run for the state’s top office since she returned home to Los Angeles in January. But she had done little to express enthusiasm for the job this year.
Published reports earler this summer suggested Harris would have been the overwhelming favorite to win the Demcoratic nod if not the Governor’s chair herself had she run. There was early dicussion that former Congresswoman Katie Porter would have backed out if Harris ran and later stories suggested Porter was in no matter what. Now that the Harris question has been settled, is Porter on top of the chart of several Democrats running?
I believe VP Harris makes another run at POTUS.
