kamala-harris-decision-to-run-for-california-governor-understanding-the-why

Summer is here, folks! Some of you might be looking forward to relaxing with picnics, barbecues, and vacations. However, for others, it’s a chaotic juggle between work and swim meets, baseball tournaments, or frantic shopping before prices skyrocket due to Trump’s tariffs. But for Kamala Harris, this summer is all about decision-making.

The former vice president is at a crossroads, contemplating whether to retire from politics after over 20 years in elected office, run for California governor in 2026, or make a third shot at the White House in 2028. Sources close to Harris reveal that she’s genuinely torn between her love for her home state and her burning desire to become president.

Out of the three options, the most urgent decision Harris faces is whether to join the race for California governor after Gavin Newsom’s term ends. Despite her high name recognition and broad fundraising base, a serious gubernatorial campaign will require more than a few months of preparation. This means Harris will need to make a choice and announce her decision sooner rather than later. If she does decide to run, she must ensure she comes across as humble, committed, and dedicated to serving as governor for a full term. Anything less could spell disaster for her campaign.
