Kamala Harris mulls next move after failed presidential campaign — and it may start with think tank: reports

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.

A think tank where they can think about thinking.

She wouldn’t have the liberal administration to back up the grift, graft and greed that scheme requires. That shows you what a moron she is.

Regarding income sources, isn’t she going to write a book?

Some prominent politicians get multi million dollar advances for writing a book. If she really needs money that seems like a tried and true way to go.

Then again isn’t her husband a multimillionaire hot shot attorney? Is the Emhoff/Harris household really really hurting money wise?

How about Kamala starts with a Think Bucket? Or maybe a “Think Pitcher”?
That way she doesn’t have to worry about not having enough to fill it.
