Exactly two months after her election loss to Donald Trump, Vice-President Kamala Harris will preside over the certification of her own defeat.
As president of the Senate, on Monday she will stand at the House Speaker's rostrum to lead the counting of Electoral College votes, officially cementing her rival's triumph two weeks before he returns to the White House.
The circumstances are painful and awkward for a candidate who decried her opponent as an urgent threat to American democracy, but Harris aides insist she will conduct her constitutional and legal duty with seriousness and grace.
It is not the first time a losing candidate will lead the joint session of Congress to count their opponent's presidential electors - Al Gore endured the indignity in 2001 and Richard Nixon in 1961.
But it's a fitting coda to an improbable election that saw Harris elevated from a back-up to the nation's oldest president to the Democratic standard bearer - whose fleeting campaign provided a jolt of hope to her party before a crushing loss exposed deep internal faultlines.
Harris and her team are now deliberating her second act, and weighing whether it includes another run for the White House in 2028 or pursuing a bid for the governor's mansion in her home state of California.

Oblivion.
2028—she can do it.
Don’t listen to those negative nellies who complain she never won one Democrat primary!
Lol.
I expect her to be dead from an OD, complications of alcohol abuse or both in the next five to ten years.
And I don’t mean a rigged death, I expect her to honestly pass away from drink or drugs. She was known to be more than an occasional moderate consumer of both while she was only a CA politican.
In spite of Trump’s political comeback, it is historically unusual for a losing presidential candidate to run again.
If Kamala runs in the 2028 primaries, she will have lots of competition. It’s not like other Democrats are going to stand aside, and clear the field for her.
Even in California, there are a few declared Democrats running for governor in 2026. It’s not like she has a clear field there either.
Her political career may be over.
Give her a broom and appoint her the CLEAN UP CZAR for New Orleans.
She should invite Timmy to sit in the gallery.
LOL!
Or the head of a local AA chapter.
With all respect, that's over stating her ability to manage anything. One of the employees maybe.
Coke and corks.
Shapiro, Whitler, Beshear, Newsom...any of them would cut her off at the knees.
Back to the future.
As a prostitute, she’d go broke. No one would want to boff that skank.
Harvard. Head of janitorial services.
What sort of shape are her knees in?
She has to write her book.
“Might I suggest whorehouse madame?”
Great idea. And adds meaning to my tagline.
We could all chip in and buy her some new knee pads.
Speaking career, it will be a well paid career with big cash from DEI oriented corporations.
