Kamala Harris rules out California governor run, hints at future plans

Investing.com -- Former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris announced Wednesday she will not run for governor of California, ending speculation about her political future following her unsuccessful presidential campaign.

"I have given serious thought to asking the people of California for the privilege to serve as their Governor. I love this state, its people, and its promise. It is my home. But after deep reflection, I’ve decided that I will not run for Governor in this election," Harris said in a statement.

The Democratic politician indicated she plans to step back from elected office for now, while leaving open the possibility of a future presidential bid in 2028.

"For now, my leadership — and public service — will not be in elected office. I look forward to getting back out and listening to the American people, helping elect Democrats across the nation who will fight fearlessly, and sharing more details in the months ahead about my own plans," she stated.

Harris has maintained a relatively low public profile since her defeat to Republican Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
