Former Vice President Kamala Harris would easily win a race for California governor in 2026 if she wanted the job.
Gov. Gavin Newsom is term-limited from running again, leaving the race open in 2026.
Internal polling shared with the Hollywood Reporter shows the former vice president running away with the race if she ran, even as billionaire Rick Caruso is eying the race.
In 2022, Caruso lost a close race for mayor of Los Angeles to Rep. Karen Bass, despite spending $104 million in his campaign, most of it from his own funds.
The government mismanagement of the Los Angeles wildfires in January has damaged the political reputation of Bass and other state Democrats, giving Caruso a possible opening in the heavy Democratic state.
'If Kamala gets in the race, it will be hers to lose,' a political consultant told THR. 'She may not have performed on the national level, but if you look at her track record in California, she’s done extremely well.'
Harris lost her presidential race in 2024 to President Donald Trump but she remains popular in California Democratic insiders fully expect Harris to run for president again in 2028
Harris is already leading the race for the Democratic nomination, largely thanks to her name recognition from the last campaign.
A McLaughlin poll published in January showed Harris leading with 33 percent over second place potential rival Pete Buttigieg at nine percent and Gov. Gavin Newsom in third place with seven.
After leaving the vice presidency in January, Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff immediately went to Los Angeles and visited firefighters and served food to wildfire evacuees.
'We wanted to come out and in particular to this extraordinary community, and just let people know that we see them and that they are cared for,' she said.

How much USAID money did Daily Mail get?
This is a real litmus test of how dumb the CA electorate it.
Californians are bigger empty coconuts than Alfalfa Harris is.
‘It’ll be hers to lose’
Well, if anybody can fumble the ball out the back of the endzone it’s that twit.
California is already getting totalitarian grifter rule good and hard. I think Harris would be a continuance of the same.
Ok time to revoke CA statehood wall off the blue areas and proclaim them insane asylums.
Thoroughly agree. It will depend upon how much courage and competence any Rep challenger will be able to get up, but nobody should be surprised if she doesn’t walk right into the governorship. I’d have to say the odds favor it.
On the other hand, not sure California elections are legitimate so not sure the voters are to blame.
The Hoo Doo shows just how hard up the man bun boyz are for women. That the best they can do.
A poll by the Hollyweird Reporter. What does the Mad Magazine Poll show?
It will be a really sorry indictment of Kalifornia’s voters if she were to win!!!
50%+ are dumb enough to elect her.

I know, no audio. But you can hear that annoying kackle in your brain.
And that’s saying something.
Unfortunately.
Quite.
Thus, nothing would really change.
Indeed.
We need to relocate the wall to Ca’s eastern border.
