Overview

  • Kamala Harris has spoken with Hillary Clinton multiple times about navigating life after her loss to Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
  • Harris is reportedly considering three main options: running for president in 2028, pursuing the California governorship in 2026, or stepping away from electoral politics altogether.
  • She has instructed advisors to avoid making decisions that would preclude a potential 2028 presidential campaign, keeping her options open.
  • Harris has also privately discussed her future plans with family, close friends, and trusted aides, but has not publicly committed to a specific path forward.
  • Polls suggest Harris could be a strong contender for California governor, but concerns remain about the challenges of governing the state and her past electoral performance.
