Kamala Harris is trying to figure out her next chapter — and it might start with a think tank.
The former vice president, who lost to President Trump last fall, is weighing whether to launch an “institute for policy and ideas,” with longtime adviser Brian Nelson quietly reaching out to universities — including Stanford and Howard — about hosting the venture, according to multiple reports.
Harris, 60, “jokes to friends that she is unemployed for the first time,” the New York Times reported. But time is ticking. Aside from public service pensions, former vice presidents don’t receive the same post-office funding as ex-presidents, and Harris may soon need to line up new income sources—especially after burning through campaign cash during her failed 2024 run.
The idea of starting a policy institute — a common move for former politicians — has raised eyebrows even within her own camp. Allies warn that fundraising for such a center could expose her to political headaches down the line, especially if she chooses to run for California governor in 2026 or take another shot at the White House in 2028. Harris has told people she sees those two paths as mutually exclusive — and must decide soon.
While she’s stayed largely out of the spotlight since November, she’s made a few public remarks — including a speech earlier this month warning against “capitulating” to Trump’s use of executive power. She also addressed Democratic activists in Wisconsin by Zoom ahead of that state’s Supreme Court election, but local operatives declined her offer to visit in person, fearing it could become a distraction.

NON- MATCHING, IMO.
Even the Bee can’t make up stuff like that.
I heard that they are going to do a remake but with more diversity
(Not really but I’m sure it’s coming)
#23 oops wrong thread
Okay, it’s not polite to say it these days, especially about a “black” woman (or any woman, for that matter), but Kamala Harris is dumb. She is aggressively stupid, as are her voters. By that, I mean that she is not intelligent at all. She is not smart enough for the job. On top of that, she is a horrific liar.
One does not normally associate Kamala Harris. and ‘think tank’.
Head of NASA?
Border Czar...oh wait, tried already, didn’t work out.
CEO of General Motors?
Hostess at a Gentleman’s Club?
The world is her oyster....many positions available where she could do every bit as good a job as she did as VP.
She just needs to polish her resume with all the accomplishments of her 4 years as VP.
Gosh, she was beyond worthless as a VP, now they think she should be president?
Well, it does seem like she has to relearn to think...and talk.
More like a drunk tank
The tank is completely empty. (Except for the wine)
She needs to own a booze store, which is her only path to success.
We already tried idiocracy, and that NEVER works.
Step into the background, live on the trust fund you have built up for yourself, and pose charmingly for the cameras, but for the sake of the sanity of the rest of us, don’t try to become some kind of pundit or “gray eminence”.
More trannies and furries should be helpful.
“longtime adviser Brian Nelson quietly reaching out to universities — including Stanford and Howard — about hosting the venture...”
IOW, she has the gall to be asking them to fund her start-up costs until she can pre-sell influence. This Brian Nelson guy wants to head up the organization so he can get paid for fundraising and trying to get a gubernatorial campaign going. But who would give them a penny? China? Epic fail coming up. If Howard and Stanford send their regrets, Harris is over.
The Jamaican HooDoo thinks she makes a klller political leader for some reason. Somebody needs to remind her she is still a Jamaican. I don’t think going to the Mensa summer school raised her I.Q. any.
If by think tank you mean beer keg
This is one of those threads where I REALLY wish I could read those Comments Removed by the Moderator….😂
A septic tank would be more like it.
