The future of former Vice President Kamala Harris remains uncertain months after her election defeat to now-President Donald Trump.
As she contemplates her next steps, Harris has been consulting with family and close confidants, including Hillary Clinton—the only other person to have faced a similar post-election scenario. According to New York Magazine, the two have reportedly spoken several times since Harris’s loss.
Speculation about Harris’s political future is growing. Some believe she may pursue a gubernatorial run in California next year, as her close ally, Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, is term-limited and cannot seek re-election.
Others suggest she remains focused on the presidency and may launch another campaign. Shortly after the election, Harris reportedly advised her team not to rule out plans for a potential 2028 presidential bid, the outlet reported.
