According to a revealing report by Politico's Melanie Mason
and Jeremy B. White, several prominent Democratic donors are unenthusiastic
about the prospect of former Vice President Kamala Harris running for governor
of California now that Governor Gavin Newsom's term ends in 2026, much to the
delight of Californians.
Following her resounding election defeat last November,
speculation began that Harris was planning a quick return to politics. Her
supporters have highlighted the substantial fundraising garnered by the
Harris-Walz campaign, especially following President Biden's departure, as a
key argument for her viability as a candidate.
According to the report, Harris and her team were committed to a return to politics and were primarily weighing whether she would run for president in 2028 or enter the crowded California gubernatorial race next year./CBrief
