Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (D.) said California Sen. Kamala Harris (D.) will be "knocking on doors in Iowa," indicating Saturday he expects she will run for president.
Villaraigosa, who is running for Governor of California in 2018, was asked by MSNBC host Hugh Hewitt about Harris, a newly elected senator considered a rising star in the Democratic Party. Hewitt predicted she would be the nominee for the Democrats in 2020.
"Has she got a stake in this governor's race?" Hewitt asked.
"Well, not yet," Villaraigosa said. "I hope she will support my candidacy, but as you say, she is a great candidate. She's going to be knocking on doors in Iowa, I expect. But in any case, I'm focused on this race, not the presidential race."
Iowa refers to the Iowa caucuses, the first major nominating event in presidential election cycles. Barack Obama scored a shocking victory in Iowa in 2008 en route to his successful run for the Democratic nomination and eventually the presidency.
Harris met last month with some of Hillary Clinton's largest donors in the Hamptons, and one fundraiser said anonymously she is planning to run.
"She's running for president. Take it to the bank," one fundraiser said in July. "She's absolutely going to run."

This will be fun. Hopefully she will spend four years there telling everyone they are racist and that they need to embrace America last economic policies.
Meanwhile, POTUS will have a solid four years of growth and prosperity under MAGA.
They wanted Trump badly and smelt blood in the water in 2016. How did that work out for them?
Oh man...... That would require gallons of eye bleach.
Are you sure it is not the male version of 0bunghole?
Keep waving your arms around and pointing at people.
Voters love the angry black chick. Especially in Iowa.
Tony Villa, er Villarosa, absentee Mayor, celebrity wanna be, La Raza lunatic, yeah I care what he has to say.
If Kam does run, I suspect part of her stage persona will be showing that she is the ‘Un-Trump’, unlike him in almost every way. The calm, lethal force of Angela Merkel, to contrast with the conflict, turmoil and upheaval of the Trump era.
Unmentioned will be the facts that the media and the petty resisters are a big part of why the Trump era has been full of conflict, turmoil and upheaval.
EPA, OSHA, Planned Parenthood, Muslim Brotherhood, Bureau of Land Management and Immigration , and
various redundant government groups will RETURN to their former inglorious positions of influence. It will be as though The Kenyan was back in town, but this time, wearing a skirt.
Both parents foreigners so no.
As we say in Oklahoma, “She ain’t bonafide.”
If they dems have an all-star and trump’s numbers are up, they will hold their all star till after his second term. If they think he can’t win (as they did last year) they may run her. She is testing the water but that doesn’t mean she will run in 2020.
(...probably not the worst) however, Ms. Harris is reflective of political power gone to her head....CA has enough problems without giving Harris more power. She is incredibly rude.
Karamela actually ruins the race for Biden. He’ll have to take her on his ticket as VP as the losing-primary progressive; and NO WAY will Trump’s states allow her as lady-in-waiting behind a 112-year-old Slow Joe...
A couple of close runner-up slots before a clear 2nd in Cali gets sheboon the booby prize; meanwhile the MSM covers up - as they did before Cankles denouement - Karamela runs for shit in every single Trump state.
Damn, I wish we had him as Mayor in San Jose,, at least he knew how to sweep a street and fill a pothole. Ron Gonzalez was clueless..
Harris-DeBlasio, 2020. Can’t believe I’m the first to imagine it.
She is not an NBC.
“Did ex-Mayor Antonio ever pass his Bar Exam??”
Dunno, perhaps he just mailed in enough box-tops. To be sure, he best see a doc and get that “villaraigosa” thing checked out. Sounds contagious if not communicable.
“Say you like me and I’ll bone you.”
Then John Kokish’s dad would be unemployed
They have been lying to themselves about Trumps poll numbers for almost 2 years now. They are still acting like they are facing a typical Republican.
