Sen. Kamala Harris has decided to seek the 2020 Democratic nomination for president, sources close to her told KCBS Radio. She'll announce her candidacy on or around Martin Luther King Day, probably at a campaign rally in Oakland, the sources said.
*** Even though Harris has alluded to a 2020 presidential campaign in interviews to promote her new memoir, aides said before the book rollout began that no formal announcement about her political future is expected before the first wave of the book tour concludes later this month.
But several sources with knowledge of her plans said she has in fact decided to run, with the enthusiastic blessing of her husband and two stepchildren.
The debate within her camp has been how, and where, to launch her campaign. The tentative plan is for Harris to enter the race with a campaign rally in the city where she was born and began her legal career.
*** Harris' team wants maximum exposure for her campaign kickoff, and has been scouting for a telegenic location that could give her a "Springfield moment" akin to Barack Obama's campaign launch in 2007 at the Old State Capitol in Illinois.
Harris' advisers want to avoid identifying her too closely with San Francisco, where she first made her political mark as a two-term district attorney.
"San Francisco is viewed as a very nutty place by people outside of California, and frankly, by a lot of people inside California," Sragow said.
Berkeley, where Harris was raised before her parents divorced and she moved with her mother and sister to Montreal, Canada, has also been dismissed by her strategists as not projecting the image they're looking for.
That leaves Oakland, where Harris was born, and where she returned after law school to become a deputy district attorney ...

An ill tempered socialist black woman from California has zero national appeal and no chance of getting the nomination let alone beating Donald Trump. LOL. Please give me a break. Worry about something real and not made up fairy tales of nothingness.
Which hat, one of Willie’s Borsalinos?
Kamala learned politics in the lap of Willie Brown.
What choices - San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland - Oh! My!
“An ill tempered socialist black woman from California has zero national appeal and no chance of getting the nomination let alone beating Donald Trump. LOL. Please give me a break. Worry about something real and not made up fairy tales of nothingness.”
And I am sure that sometime back in 2015 someone on DU said the following:
“An ill tempered billionaire white man from New York City has zero national appeal and no chance of getting the nomination let alone beating Hillary Clinton. LOL. Please give me a break. Worry about something real and not made up fairy tales of nothingness.”
If you feel like underestimating the enemy then you feel free to do so.
I won’t because Harris can obviously carry California and their primary will be earlier in 2020 and that can help carry her to the nomination...hate her or not.
It wasn't Trump - it was his pro Main Street agenda that got him elected. I guess that flew over your head. It was the message and not the messenger that got Trump elected.
Harris's message. "I am a hateful black socialist so vote for me"... Not going to win.
Willie Brown’s dick garage.
Oh good, I have another person who I will never vote for. In 2020, I’m voting for President Trump.
Just waiting for the MSM to make the same snarky comments about the plethora of ‘D’ rivals for the ‘D’ candidacy as they did for the ‘R’ campaign fight in 2016 with 16 declared candidates!
Crickets ...
I agree that Harris is a hateful black socialist and an adulteress of ill repute.
Sadly at least several tens of million people like this kind of thing.
Sen Harris: I'm going to ask you a very important question, and I want you to think very carefully, very carefully, before you answer...did you eat bacon this morning? Yes or no.
Witness: I don't know, I don't remember, I had an omelet but I was pressed for time, and ate in a hurry. I guess it might have had some chopped bacon in it, but I'm not sure about that.
Sen Harris: It's a simple question...YES or NO...stop being evasive.
Blah, Blah, Blah, etc, etc, etc.
Thanks, FrankR!
