CBS News: Kamala Harris is considering to run for California governor; will decide by the end of summer

[Elim Garak]

Uggh… Oh God….


Kamala, no offense darling… but haven’t you had enough yet?

Has your mental health even recovered from losing to Captain Orange yet? Serious question

Take some time… chill back… enjoy life… raise your kids… suck your white husbands little pecker for a while… perfect that collard greens recipe….

Just stay away from running for anything for a while… gah damn

You talking as if she hasn't had a successful political career.

If she loses again

I'm sure the Dems will tell everyone to stand down too so she can run

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

she also only won her attorney general election against a republican by 1% in california. and when she dropped out of the primary she wasn't even 2nd in her own state too.

she should've never been VP in the first place because her as the fail safe was basically a white flag. she's never been a good candidate in any circumstance where there's real contention even amongst her own party.

She's like one of the only instances where DEI candidate applies

She was only VP because ppl said Biden had to have a Black woman

I think k it was after he made some comments

 

[Unbothered]

She was attorney general of California a long time ago, so there's no doubt in my mind she could win the governor position.

Her presidential run will have no effect on her odds of winning governor since she'd only have to appeal to Cali voters who she won during the November election. Ain't no Republican winning California, just like there's no Republican in NYS that'd win New York.

I think she'd be considered preferable compared to Newsom, whose approval rating has declined every year; what's crazy is that people outside of California think higher of Gavin than his own state residents. The only reason why Newsom had Cali under his grasp is that he didn't have a worthy opponent; Kamala would definitely give him a run for his money in a primary if he were to decide to continue as Cali governor since he can't run for President, and governor at the same time.

If Newsom declares he's running for the presidency in 2028 then Kamala would be a lock to win the gubernatorial seat. The only way she'd lose is if a better Cali Democrat arises, but the thing is that California doesn't really have strong Democrat politicians, which is one of the reasons why Newsom won his elections easily because the competition was sparse.

Hypothetically, Gavin's gonna have to decide whether to stand pat as gov or risk losing his governor seat for a chance at the presidency, which he may win or lose, and let's say he'd lose that would mean he'd be out of politics altogether in 2028 if he were to fail that year's November presidential election.

Nevermind my mistake.

She won't win , the state is a mess . High inflation & high taxes won't bring any businesses to the state

She's won multiple state wide elections in the past.

She won, but put up the worst performance for a Democrat there since the 2004 election, which is similar to the point that @42 Monks was making in his comment.

She could literally take the L depending on what fellow candidate she goes up against.

It doesn't matter how you win; it's the fact that you won. The good thing for her is that Democrats are weak in California in terms of quality politicians who have that resume and appeal to run for governor. If Newsom pursues presidency then she'd instantly be the superstar candidate and favorite to win the gubernatorial seat.

Newsom who's been on the decline in terms of approval rating among Californians didn't retain his seat all these years because he was soo much better than everybody but rather cause nobody else running against him (Dem or Republican) was worth a dayum so he'd win by default.

This thread feels like the election all over again. Everyone telling certain people she can't win and those people being in denial refusing to believe it. She can't win. Her political career is pretty much done.

It's nothing like the election. She has electoral history for multiple offices in that state lol.

He's illegible to run since Newsom passed his term limits

Unless the law has changed he can run again just not more than 2 consecutive terms.

Not always as past performance could be a precursor to future performance especially if your perception hasn’t changed or gotten worse.

Word to Joe Biden.

Slim margins in races should have performed better. When she loses this one, it's going to be non-stop crying about how people hate women and all that.
I hope she runs just so I can say I told you so and pull receipts left and right.
