Many Democrats wish former Vice President Kamala Harris would have run for governor of California rather than potentially making another bid for the presidency in 2028, according to a new report.
Amid a hotly contested gubernatorial race in the Golden State in which numerous candidates are splitting the Democratic vote, The New York Times highlighted how Harris could have decisively changed this in a piece headlined, "A California Dream? Some Democrats Fear Harris Picked the Wrong Race."
"Maybe, they say, she should have run for governor instead of publicly pondering a third run for president," the Times noted.
California has an open primary system where all candidates of both parties run against each other, so hypothetically, two candidates of the same party could face each other in the general election. With Republican votes divided among only two candidates and Democratic votes divided among eight, some Democrats have worried about the potential of a Republican being elected governor.
One example the Times recalled was "The View" co-host Sunny Hostin, who last month urged Harris to abandon her presidential ambitions in favor of state politics.
"California, it’s like running a country," Hostin said. "I know that she’s talked about being president — I don’t know if that’s the right position for her — but my goodness, she certainly knows California."

They write themselves don’t they.
California cannot afford the kneepads.
Me too. Let her cackle in Kali, it’ll be fun to watch it burn worse than it has under Gavy poo.
Just appoint her like when they did for the presidency! lol
Oh yeah! No kings or queens! lol
Yeah, she should dive in so she, Katie Porter, Becerra and Steyer can divide the leftwing vote and Hilton and Bianco can finish first and second.
She should follow the example of another Californian Vice President, Richard Nixon, who ran for Governor of California two years after being defeated for President, only to lose that race but be elected President 6 years later. So she could lose the governor’s race this year and be elected President in 2032. If the American collective IQ has dropped sufficiently by then.
If it was in the primary, she would have been one more democrat in an already crowded field, so that would have probably failed.
I don't know if it would even be legal to run a write-in candidate AFTER the primary in the general election. If it's Hilton v. Bianco, it wouldn't surprise me if they try.
It’s hard for me to believe that anyone with at least one neuron still firing would want Kamala to run for anything. She an insult to a box of rocks and can’t put together a cogent sentence without the help of a teleprompter. This just makes no sense to me.
Regional destruction before nationwide destruction, I guess...
frankly, most D’s realize she’s a loser and wish she would find a retirement job (maybe selling popsicles at the beach>?)
even the “worst’ Demos want sale-able candidates that they can support and possibly win with
It won’t happen, but I want Kamala as their nominee in 2028.
That would very good thing for the Republican nominee.
“California has an open primary system where all candidates of both parties run against each other, so hypothetically, two candidates of the same party could face each other in the general election”
“hypothetically.” That’s rich. That was the intent in enacting the jingle primary. Only in a handful of statewide offices has a Republican appeared on the general election ballot
Just what CA needs - Newsom in a skirt.
And eight years of great, hilarious memes.
omg, such an unbiased article, eh? The demonrats are worried a Republican will win in California. How sick is that? Shun the leftwing owned medias and think for yourself. They are not our friend those of you not chained to the Demonrat plantation.
