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.”
Tbf, when Biden dropped out, there really wasn’t a lot of time to organize 50 primaries according to each state’s election rules and then get the result onto the general ballot in time for those deadlines.
tbf, Biden shouldn’t have run for re-election in the first place.
There absolutely was - primaries have relatively lax laws and aren’t legally binding, so even an improvised approach wouldn’t have been illegal.

If only there was a method to instantly reach every American without being directly in front of them. /S
“Under existing laws…”
I’m with you.
I think it should be a holiday and anyone present in the jurisdiction can vote. You pick your candidate, legal, illegal, young, old, felon, not, and then you dip your finger in a jar of semi permanent ink so you can’t vote twice. I mean, if we’re making wishes.
Fuck yeah cut a finger off every time you vote! It’s the only way!
You realize people vote like that all over the world? The ink lasts for a few days. Clearly that’s the same as cutting off your finger. I can’t believe someone trained a donkey to use the internet. This is crazy.
My fine barn yard swine friend, I had only the wish to make voting a more serious event, not to be taken lightly. You’d get 40 years of voting what is your complaint?
