Kamala Harris keeping options open for possible political comeback

Vice President Kamala Harris is working on determining her political future.


The 60-year-old insists she’s not ready to back down after getting demolished by Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential election and becoming the first Democrat to lose the popular vote in two decades.

Harris has told her closest allies that she is “staying in the fight” and plans to consider what the future holds in the coming weeks, sources told Politico.

It’s been speculated that she could run for governor of California in 2026 or maybe even make a second bid for the presidency in 2028.

“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” one former campaign aide told the outlet.

“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.”


While some Democrats are looking to former first lady Michelle Obama and California Gov. Gavin Newsom to run for president in four years, a post-election poll from Echelon Insights has Harris dominating a hypothetical 2028 Democratic primary, the New York Post reported.

That said, would she want to endure that again?


Given that Newsom’s term is limited, a gubernatorial run could be better suited for the state’s former prosecutor and attorney general.

“Could she run for governor? Yes. Do I think she wants to run for governor? Probably not. Could she win? Definitely. Would she like the job? I don’t know. Could she run for president again? Yes,” former Harris aide Brian Brokaw told Politico.

“Would she have a whole bunch of skepticism from the outset, because she has run in a full-length Democratic primary where (in 2019) she didn’t even make it long enough to be in the Iowa caucus, and then she was the nominee this year?” he continued.


“People can learn a lot from their previous adversity, too.”



Harris had just over 100 days to take over Joe Biden’s campaign efforts and reintroduce herself to Americans as their possible leader, arguably too little time to sell herself and her policies to voters.

Now, with more time to map out a game plan, Harris needs to figure out where she fits in within the Democratic Party.

“There will be a desire to hear her voice, and there won’t be a vacuum for long,” a source with close ties to Harris told the outlet.

“She is not someone who makes rash decisions. She takes, sometimes, a painfully long time to make decisions,” Brokaw noted, but added that she likely still doesn’t know what the future holds.
She takes a long time for her decisions because she is a very insecure person which is where the "word salads" all come from. If she was at least a little knowledgeable, she'd likely fair better but she's lazy (as her previous employees have stated) and that's her biggest downfall. She needs to learn that it takes work to succeed!!

’60 Minutes’ report that prompted Trump lawsuit is nominated for an Emmy Award

It got “60 Minutes” sued by the man who became president of the United States. Now it’s up for a major award — for precisely the same aspect of it that so enraged Donald Trump.


Last fall’s “60 Minutes” story on Kamala Harris — the subject of Trump’s $20 billion lawsuit against CBS — was nominated for an Emmy Award Thursday for “outstanding edited interview.” Trump, in his lawsuit, complained that the interview was deceptively edited to make his Democratic election opponent look good.

The annual News & Documentary Emmys will be awarded in late June. “60 Minutes” is competing against interviews with singer Celine Dion, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Pope Francis and WNBA star Brittney Griner.

The fallout over the Harris interview still hangs over CBS News. The news division claims to have done nothing wrong, but its parent company, Paramount Global, is reportedly negotiating a settlement with Trump.

Many CBS News journalists oppose a settlement. Former “60 Minutes” executive producer Bill Owens, who has fought against such a deal, resigned last month. Owens cited in his resignation the corporate restrictions placed on him in the wake of the Harris story, which is also the subject of an investigation by President Trump’s FCC chairman.

Trump complained about the interview again on Wednesday in a Truth Social post. This time, his anger spread to The New York Times, which in a story on Tuesday said that “legal experts have called the suit baseless and an easy victory for CBS.”

“They don’t mean that, they just have a non curable case of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME,” the president wrote, saying he’s looking into potential legal action against the newspaper.

“The New York Times will not be deterred by the administration’s intimidation tactics,” the newspaper said in response.
