Governor of California? Another run at the White House? Kamala Harris unsure of next steps after losing election: report

Vice President Kamala Harris is looking for the next steps in her political career after losing the election, some former aides told Politico.

“She’s not one to make rash decisions. She sometimes takes a painfully long time to make decisions. So I’ll pretty much guarantee you she has no idea what her next move is,” former Harris aide Brian Brokaw told Politico.

Harris has kept a low profile after losing to President-elect Donald Trump. She arrived in Kalaoa, Hawaii, on Tuesday for a vacation from her campaign schedule and duties as vice president.

Anything from running for governor in her home state of California to another presidential run could be on the table. Current California Governor Gavin Newsom cannot seek another term in 2026 and reportedly has his own White House ambitions.

“Could she run for governor? Yes. Do I think she will run for governor? Probably not. Could she win? Definitely. Would she like the job? I don’t know. Could she run for president again? Yes ,” Brokaw told Politico.

“Would she have a whole lot of skepticism from the start because she’s run in a full-length Democratic primary where (in 2019) she didn’t even make it long enough to be in the Iowa caucus, and then she was the nominated this year?”

Some former aides say Harris has limited time and political capital to decide whether to run for office.

“She doesn’t have to decide whether she wants to run for anything again in the next six months,” a former Harris campaign aide told Politico. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some kind of entity that would allow her to travel and give speeches and maintain her political relationships.”

Another person in Harris’ circle emphasized that time is running out for Harris to make a decision.

“There will be a desire to hear her voice and there won’t be a vacuum for long,” said a person close to Harris.

The timing of the vice president’s trip to Hawaii following her loss has raised questions, particularly as some Democratic National Committee (DNC) staffers have been surprised by sudden firings amid reports that the Harris campaign used 1.5 billion dollars in 15 weeks on a losing bet.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defended the Harris vacation during a Thursday briefing, arguing that there was nothing “wrong” with the vice president taking a vacation.

“The vice president has taken time off to go spend time with her family. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. I think she deserves some time to be with her family and have some downtime. She’s worked very hard over – for the last four years and she took a few days to be with her family, good for her, Jean-Pierre said.
