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.
Another source familiar with Harris’ thinking told CBS News that she is “seriously considering” a run for governor. A gubernatorial bid would likely mean she would not run for president in 2028, which she is also considering.
On one hand, yes, she had an very abbreviated campaign period and yes, the big issue was the inflation, and there’s a limited amount that she could do about that.
On the other hand, she also had a well-funded campaign, and she had a shot and didn’t make it.
And she didn’t poll that strongly.
I would really rather have the Democrats find the strongest candidate they can in 2028. Harris didn’t run last time because she was the strongest option in the country, but because she was VP.
I’ll be happy when the Democrats having a primary is a safe assumption again. 1 superdelegate-fuckified primary in 2016, 1 completely skipped primary in 2024.
I know this is a radical idea, but hear me out Democratic strategists… Have primaries, let the voters tell you who they like, so that you end up with the strongest candidate in the general. Just something to think about.
