Kamala Harris, fresh off her spectacular failure to outsmart President Trump, is setting her sights on California’s governor’s mansion. This bold ambition comes in light of her dismal approval ratings as vice president, a position that, per many conservatives, she mastered in the fine art of mismanagement and a public relations nightmare. The notion that she now desires to usurp Gavin Newsom’s position raises eyebrows, especially considering her prior tenure as attorney general laid the groundwork for the liberal agenda that has led California to its current state of chaos.
In an amusing report, it seems that numerous Harris aides are nudging her towards a gubernatorial run in 2026. However, the question remains whether Democrats will genuinely support a candidate who ranks among the most unpopular vice presidents in the history of the Republic. There’s an ongoing circus within the party, with some insiders clinging to the hope that she could rebound in time for 2028. Others, however, are gently suggesting she might be better off focusing on managing a state that consistently votes overwhelmingly blue.

The race for governor is shaping up to be an unchallenging affair for Harris. After all, she has navigated the treacherous waters of California politics as attorney general and senator with remarkable finesse—or at least her supporters would argue so. With several potential rivals signaling they’d step aside for her, the governor’s seat appears to be just a hop, skip, and jump away for someone who already has a legislative footprint. Yet irony abounds: a person once hailed as a presidential frontrunner might now consider a governorship as a consolation prize for not being able to land higher office.
Despite her ambition, Harris faces a tight timeline that she absolutely must respect if she intends to kick off a campaign for Newsom’s seat. If she truly wants voters to buy whatever agenda she lays out by summer 2025, she better get her act together. It doesn’t help that whispers of her reluctance to accept that she’s not quite fit for the Oval Office are swirling, creating a logical yet humorous dilemma: can the woman who couldn’t even manage a fruitful campaign now be trusted to run a state?
Consultants and former aides appear to be playing a guessing game regarding her political aspirations. Some have opined that a strong gubernatorial campaign might feel more like a sad end-of-the-line adventure rather than a launch pad back to presidential glory. Harris’s supporters are reportedly conflicted, manifested in the tension over whether the 2026 election could serve as a distraction from a potentially more favorable 2028 presidential run. California remains a beautifully chaotic playground for leftists, and it will be an interesting spectacle as Harris contemplates whether to dive into the governor’s race or further pursue the elusive dream of the White House.
