After her recent defeat in the 2024 presidential election against Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly considering her political future, keeping her options open for a potential gubernatorial run in California in 2026 or another presidential bid in 2028. According to insiders, Harris has been communicating with advisers and allies, stating, "I am staying in the fight," and instructing them to keep her political options open. Early polling suggests that Democratic voters would support her return to the presidential race. Meanwhile, former Olympic athlete Caitlyn Jenner is also contemplating a run for California governor in 2026 as a Republican, and has reportedly stated that she would "destroy" Harris in a matchup. Harris's consideration of a gubernatorial bid could reshape the political landscape in California, where Governor Gavin Newsom will reach his term limit in 2026.
