Harris, who lost her 107-day campaign against Donald Trump last fall, has already announced she won't run next year for California governor to replace Gavin Newsom. But another run for president in 2028 after a slim but dramatic loss to Trump? Still uncertain. It seems like she is edging away from running for president, step by step, said Dan Schnur, who teaches political communications at UC Berkeley and USC. This type of positioning looks more like playing for history instead.

I watched it at the hotel that night. It was a good speech, drawing on the history of the presidency to locate his own place within it. But as my staff later pointed out, it was almost nine minutes into the 11-minute address before he mentioned me. "I want to thank our great vice president, Kamala Harris. She is experienced, she's tough, she's capable. She's been an incredible partner to me and leader for our country." And that was it.

Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany slammed Kamala Harris's forthcoming book as an attempt at posturing for 2028, while trashing her on Tuesday. McEnany, who served in the Trump administration from 2020 to 2021, appeared on Fox & Friends Wednesday morning to offer her take on the first excerpt from Harris's new memoir, which was published by The Atlantic earlier in the day.

As vice-president, Harris says, she felt caught in an impossible position: unable to counsel Biden against running without appearing self-interested. And of all the people in the White House, I was in the worst position to make the case that he should drop out, she writes. I knew it would come off to him as incredibly self-serving if I advised him not to run.

For many months, California Attorney General Rob Bonta laid low in the 2026 run for California governor. He did this by insisting he would run for re-election if Kamala Harris opted to make the run for governor, which was the general expectation for her until July 30, when she stunned the political world by opting out of the campaign. Bonta has no need for to lay low any longer, unless he sincerely doesn't want the job.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris' announcement Wednesday that she will not run for California governor next year has left the race wide open without a clear frontrunner. For the past eight years, Gavin Newsom has served as governor, and with his second term up, 2026 presents an opportunity for a fresh face to lead the state. There's a large field running of Republicans and Democrats, which includes some well-known figures in the state, but many who voters are not familiar with.

The CEO of the California High Speed Rail Authority is optimistic about advancing rail extensions to Los Angeles and the Bay Area while developing the Central Valley segment.

A bill before the California Legislature would bar landlords from using immigration status as a way to threaten tenants.

Kamala Harris's potential bid for California governor in 2026 may determine her prospects for a 2028 presidential run, highlighting uncertainty about her viability as a candidate.

Big Law once played a pivotal role in political funding, backing centrist candidates like Kamala Harris and Andrew Cuomo, but has faced significant setbacks after their defeats.

Harris performed six points worse among men than Biden did, an extensive analysis by the Cook Political Report declared. The falloff was significantly more pronounced among Latino men (-12) and Black men (-7).

Paramount announced that it would pay President Donald Trump $16 million to settle his lawsuit against the company related to a 2024 interview with Kamala Harris.

"In the last elections, Kamala Harris won by 8 percentage points among news consumers, while Trump led by 19 points among those who are uninformed about current affairs."

Trump's grip on the GOP surpasses Biden's hold on the Democratic Party, making the transition to a post-Trump era potentially problematic for Republicans in 2028.
