Kamala Will Not Run For Governor In California
—
Former Vice President Kamala Harris announced on Wednesday that she will not run for governor in her home state of California — and while she did not rule out any future campaign plans, she hinted that, at least “for now,” her place was not in any elected office.
Harris commented, “My statement on the California governor’s race and the fight ahead” — as she shared her announcement in a post on X.
