It worked for Richard Nixon. Although he did not become Governor.
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.
