LOS ANGELES (AP) — California Attorney General Kamala Harris will seek a U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Barbara Boxer, an adviser with knowledge of her plans said Monday.

With her Tuesday announcement, Harris, 50, will become the first prominent California Democrat to enter the 2016 race that is expected to lure a crowded field.

The adviser was not authorized to discuss Harris's plans and spoke only on the condition of anonymity.

The disclosure came shortly after a potential rival, California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, said he won't run for the open seat created by Boxer's retirement next year.

Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and billionaire Tom Steyer are also considering bids for the seat, which Boxer has held for over two decades. [snip]

Sounds like another typical Calif dem, though compared to Boxer she's quite a bit easier on the eyes. I dunno, but the Gypsy Woman by Jay and the Americans comes to mind. But given she's a Left coast dem Gypsies, Tramps and Theives would be more apropos.

I didn’t see this one coming, but it makes sense. Harris is probably the strongest candidate the Democrats can put out there for the CA Senate seat.

It’s also probably a potential launching pad for an eventual run for the Presidency. Harris has boatloads of ambition, and all the “right” leftwing viewpoints.

Does she have $100 million dollars in her purse just to start?

More insane than Boxer? That would be difficult. Not impossible though.

Make no mistake she’s the odds on favorite to win that seat. Harris has national ambitions. She’ll be a presidential candidate by 2024 at the least.

As if we couldn’t get any worse here than Boxer! She’s your classic San Fran lib. Was DA of San Francisco before (barely) winning AG race in 2010. Re-elected in 2014 on far-left platform.

The Democrats have been basically keeping the seat warm for her. I’m sure the Republicans will run another “exciting” RINO-type candidate to lose by 20 points.

Easy on the eyes but a loony lefty for sure. She’ll win that senate seat easily and that will automatically make her a presidential contender.

Are they holding hands? She far to close to Pres. Moochell
will put the evil eye hit on her —— The Pres will never get to Kali to raise funds for her.

Obola does NOT hold hands with women in public. And probably not in private either.

The only public intercourse he has ever had with a woman is the selfie photograph taken BY her OF HIM (and her) before Michelle separated the two.
