Kamala Harris announced on Wednesday that he did not go to the post of governor of California, which she has already occupied in the past.
United States – The return of Kamala Harris to the front of the stage is not for now. The former vice-president and unhappy democratic candidate for the American presidential election will not seek the post of governor of California in 2026.
“In the past six months, I took the time to think (…) The best way for me to continue fighting for the American people and defending the values and ideas that are dear to me”, She wrote in a statement on Wednesday July 30.
“In recent months, I have seriously thought about asking the Californian people the privilege of representing myself as a governor. I like this state, its population, and its promises. It’s my house. But after careful thinking, I decided not to be a candidate ”said the ex-vice-president of Joe Biden, propelled into a disaster in the White House race a year ago after the outgoing president ended up throwing in the towel.
Possible candidacy for the presidential election in 2028
“For the moment, my leadership and my public commitment will not go through an elected mandate”continues Kamala Harris, before mentioning his intention to “Share more details in the coming months on my projects”. A new candidacy for the White House in 2028 is not excluded, according to the American press.
Kamala Harris almost completely disappeared from the public debate after his defeat against his republican rival Donald Trump last November. The ex-somenator and procurement general of California takes advantage of his speaking to qualify the current period as “Moment of crisis” and call for “Methods and a new approach” pour “Driving change” in the future. “True to our values and our principles, but without being chained to the same software”she insists.
