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."

Selling full a brush, avon or salvation
If I lived in Iowa, I’d call the sheriff to report a threatening feral at the door when she knocked.
half a brain
If she is simply going to continue down the "white men are evil" path in order to fire up the far left base, she will alienate more of the voters that the dems lost in 2016.
The white guilt card has already been played to its max in 2008 & 2012. If the dems decide to go with someone a bit more centrist like Jim Webb; they will probably win in 2020. Unfortunately for them; Jim Webb does not appeal to their radical, far-left base. This is especially true since he is a white male who committed the mortal sin of saying that ALL lives matter during the primaries in 2016.
Lotta Catholics in Iowa. Nuff said...
It's simple, the blacks did not show up in 2016 because Hillary wasn't.
And unless Trump puts up a border wall, delivers tax cuts, and kills ObamaCare by 2020, he will loose a large enough chunk of his 2016 electorate to get blown out of the Electoral College.
Nah. Nobody's husband is going to go for a used up whore her age.
Not if he rams through voter ID, punishes vote fraud, and builds a wall.
The loss of the fabricated vote machine would cripple the left for the next forty years.
I advise her not to knock on my door.
Homeless again?
She is the perfect anti-Trump for the left. If Trump gets his head straight, he can cream her. If we are still talking about nazi protests and are stuck in a bunch of foreign wars in 3 years, she could be President.
Rocks for brains. Trump would wipe the floor with her.
Can you imagine a debate between Harris and President Trump?
Have to buy some special explosive popcorn :)
If she knocked on my door I’d tell her to GTFO!
If she knocked on my door I’d point down the street and say “Baptist Church three blocks down.”
Perfect. Most folks in Iowa have barn boots. They’ll be ready for her.
