Kamala Harris Weighs Political Future After 2024 Election Defeat

The former vice president has consulted Hillary Clinton and others as she considers options including a 2028 presidential run or a bid for California governor.

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.
