Harris Considers Think Tank Amid Political Planning

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is considering launching an institute for policy and ideas, with discussions involving universities such as Stanford and Howard. The initiative is part of her contemplation of next steps after her defeat in the 2024 presidential election. While Harris remains out of the public eye, the proposed think tank has drawn significant social media mockery, with critics questioning her capability to lead such an endeavor. The proposal has also sparked concern among her allies that funding for the center might become a political liability, particularly if she plans to run for California governor in 2026 or pursue another presidential bid in 2028. Meanwhile, Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, are exploring other opportunities, with Emhoff returning to a lucrative legal career. Despite her loss, Harris is still considering her political future, including potential candidacies for governor or the presidency.
