Kamala Harris Considers Running for ’28 Presidential Bid, CA Governor

2 Min Read

Vice President Kamala Harris is keeping her political options open as she considers a possible 2028 presidential bid or a run for California governor in 2026, according to sources close to her. Harris is expected to deliberate her next steps over the coming weeks, with her team working to refine a message that reinforces her role in the Democratic Party while addressing President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda.

“There will be a desire to hear her voice, and there won’t be a vacuum for long,” an insider told Politico. Some close to Harris feel that with the speed of the news cycle and the current position of the Democratic party, the vice president may be forced to make a decision quicker than she would like, Politico reported.

Harris’ inner circle is reportedly split on her potential trajectory, but there is consensus that she cannot pursue both paths simultaneously. Her allies suggest she take time to maintain political relationships and prepare for future opportunities, with one former campaign aide noting, “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches.”

Known for her deliberate decision-making, Harris is not expected to rush into a commitment. “She takes, sometimes, a painfully long time to make decisions,” said Brian Brokaw, a former aide.

Despite her polarizing short run for president in 2020, Harris’ supporters believe her standing in the Democratic Party remains strong. “She proved a lot of skeptics wrong as a political athlete,” said an ally, adding that her public profile and name recognition make her a key figure in upcoming elections.
