Kamala Harris has been lying low since her defeat in the presidential race, unwinding with family and senior aides in Hawaii before heading back to the nation’s capital.
But privately, the vice president has been instructing advisers and allies to keep her options open — whether for a possible 2028 presidential run, or even to run for governor in her home state of California in two years. As Harris has repeated in phone calls, “I am staying in the fight.”
She is expected to explore those and other possible paths forward with family members over the winter holiday season, according to five people in the Harris inner circle, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal dynamics. Her deliberations follow an extraordinary four months in which Harris went from President Joe Biden’s running mate to the top of the ticket, reenergizing Democrats before ultimately crashing on election night.
“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”
You got any sources for that? When Biden stepped down initially they were looking for who would replace him. His vice president / running mate was an obvious choice. I don’t think I ever read anything about her trying to convince them. More then trying to convince her.
General observations of the universe. There were discussions about having a snap primary and then suddenly Harris was the nominee.
I can’t say for certain if she pursued that end herself but even if she wasn’t the primary architect she consented to forgo a primary.
Edit: We’re all observers to what happened - the outcome was predictable given how the DNC has operated… how is this surprising?
So you don’t have any actual evidence of your claims. Just biased perceptions.
And no none of this is surprising. What would have been surprising is if anyone individually or collectively took any responsibility for this outcome. Spreading distortions and misinformation. Helping a fascist win.
I have no real love for liberals. But all the so called lefties that felt comfortable not showing solidarity against actual fascism. Because things weren’t perfect. Get far less. Don’t get me wrong, as someone with a strong anarchist Dejacque Libertarian lean. I’m not here to force anyone to vote even. Or vote for anyone specifically. But I have no qualms about pointing out people disingenuously heaping undeserved criticism on liberals. While failing to acknowledge and learn the lessons of their own mistakes.
I do have evidence - I saw it happen in real time like most of us did. Demanding sources for common knowledge reeks of JAQing off.
Post them. Your reluctance to along with the accusations reeks of projection and desperation. Which is really sad as I’m not trying to defend liberals. They fucked up just like you did. And are refusing to learn the lesson just as you are. And you both will repeat the same mistakes unironically while everyone suffers.
I know a guy says shit like that whenever we call him on some really obvious bullshit. Its lefte biased against this, and I’m sorry for assuming you’re completely without basis.
