Kamala Harris Hints 2028 Run, Rules Out California Governor Race

Kamala Harris has confirmed she will not run for Governor of California in 2026, a decision that has increased speculation and betting odds about a potential 2028 presidential run. She announced the upcoming publication of her memoir, "107 Days," providing a candid behind-the-scenes account of her historic but brief presidential campaign, which lasted just over three months. Harris, who became the Democratic nominee after President Joe Biden dropped out in 2024, remains a prominent figure within the party despite mixed views on her previous campaign. Bookmaker William Hill has shortened her odds to 25/1 for the 2028 presidency, reflecting renewed interest in her political future. Meanwhile, political observers note that while Harris has the highest name recognition and fundraising network among Democrats, she also carries the political baggage of the 2024 election. Her decision not to pursue the governorship leaves her options open for a national campaign, as other Democrats prepare for a future without her.
