Kamala Harris Faces Strategic Challenges in Deciding Future Political Path
As speculation grows over a potential 2026 California gubernatorial bid, Chuck Todd advises Harris to delay high-profile campaigns and focus on non-political roles.
- Kamala Harris is reportedly considering a run for California governor in 2026, with a decision expected by late summer 2025.
- Chuck Todd has publicly warned Harris against running, citing her insider status and the challenges of positioning herself as a candidate for change in California.
- Todd argued that after 16 years of Democratic governance, California voters may prefer an outsider candidate in the next gubernatorial race.
- He also suggested Harris focus on non-political roles, such as contributing to the LA Olympic Committee, before returning to national politics in the 2030s.
- Todd expressed skepticism about Harris' ability to differentiate herself from Gavin Newsom’s administration, further complicating her potential gubernatorial campaign.
