The odds-on Kamala Harris becoming the next president have improved sharply from 50/1 (2 percent) to 25/1 (3.8 percent) among one bookmaker after the former vice president announced on Wednesday that she won't be running to be the next governor of California in 2026.

Guess I v3stors wanna throw away another billion or so?
What a magnificent spin, but at 25/1 a more accurate headline would be “Kamala Harris’ Chance for Becoming President Remains a Long Shot According to Bookmaker.”
She’s not going to run for Governor of California because she knows she’ll lose. And if she can’t win far-left California then her chance of winning the presidency are very, very slim.
Harris is a scatter brained half wit she proved many times thank goodness Biden didn’t check out we would have had her and the puppet masters.
The democrats finest are on the sane peoples delete list.
The dems don’t like to take chances by rerunning losers. They wouldn’t rerun Hillary, and Kamala Harris isn’t up to the level of Hillary’s cankles.
Nor will they study the lessons of 2024 and give any credit to DJT for his win of the popular vote, the larger EV win, the wins in the legislature and the shocking number of precincts that flipped to red. And if Trump is not responsible for that, Harris is. She’s that bad. They won’t run her again and if anyone tried she would face plant in the primaries.
She withdrew from even the California governor race on TV last night.
I’m still hoping to see some of Willie Brown’s photo collection. I know he has them and despite her being a sloppy drunk at 60, when she was 32 she was pretty decorative and Willie was no doubt riding her hard and putting her away wet (no pun intended).
It worked for Richard Nixon. Although he did not become Governor.
Sucker’s bet
I am not sure the world can handle all the word salad and bitterness the duo would toss out.
My point is that Ka Ka Harris deciding not to run for California Governor improves her odds in becoming president.
If she were to run she most certainly would win as no Republican has a prayer of winning in the state with its rigged election system.
In becoming California Governor following Gavin Newsom she is doomed to preside over the economic collapse of the state.
As a Democratic/Socialist she has no prayer of curing what ails the state. Her ideology precludes cutting spending, regulations or taxes. Not to mention the legislature is also afflicted with that ideology and is also unlikely to support fiscal constraint.
Ka Ka running for governor of California would be a career ending move.
Just my opinion. But I think her career as an elected official is probably over anyway.
If she does run, maybe Senator fom California if Adam Schiff goes to jail.
What were her odds in 2024?
Bookie’s going after the stupid money.
When did Baghdad Bob become headline editor for Newsweek? That one deserves the Pulitzer for Most Farcical Spin. 3.8 percent — no reason to even bother with an election.
California gets away with their crap because of Silicon Valley.
Otherwise, it would have turned into Detroit by now.
Yes, please, we want more Word Salads and talking out of both sides of the mouth pandering.
And please, we want her full qualifications with Willie Brown.
At those odds, invest a couple of bucks.
I’m thinking that we haven’t heard the last from her.
Run and lose (California has a jungle primary — two Democrats could make the general) - no chance at President.
Run and win...it’s a bit unseemly to abandon a governor’s term 2 years in...
Skip the race...if she’s going to run for something in ‘28, it may as well be President. So I can see her odds going from 50-1 to 25-1.
She ran in the 2020 primary and was one of the first to bail.
I can't conceive of the Democrats running her again after her miserable showing in 2024.
Even with all of their cheating she still lost in a landslide.
YES!!! Lets see her, AOC, Newsome, Booker, and Fatso Pritzker go at it in the primaries. I’ll watch those debates. The republican (Vance, Rubio, or Cruz seem most likely) will shred them in debates.
