There’s been chatter for months about what now-former Vice President Kamala Harris’ next political move would be, ever since she lost last November to President Donald Trump. She may try once more to be the Democratic nominee for 2028, and perhaps she’ll even actually earn a primary vote this time. She may also stay in California and run for governor in 2026. That decision will reportedly come in a few months.
