Former Vice President Kamala Harris will decide whether she will run for governor of California by the end of summer, a person familiar with her decision-making process said.
She seems both qualified for the job and motivated to stand up to the Trump administration’s aggression, both of which are important qualities in a leader of a US state that happens to be the world’s 5th largest economy.
EDIT:
For those who downvoted, perhaps you could use your words to explain what you disagree with in my comment, and why? I don’t know Kamala Harris all that well, so if there’s something important that I’m missing, I would like to know about it. A downvote doesn’t help anyone.
International relations standpoint aside, she offered no benefits or relief to the economic woes of the working class other than telling them to suck it up because everything’s fine. She ignored progressives in a pathetic attempt at currying favor with the likes of Liz fucking Cheney because she thinks conservatives would actually pick a Democrat over literally any Republican candidate. Everything about her screamed corporatism, the status quo of deadlocked improvements in Congress, and a lack of willingness to meaningfully change things for the better.
She is the quintessential establishment Democrat who would rather campaign for fundraisers than actually act on meaningful legislation. Despite all these (and many more) flaws, I voted for her as she was the only meaningful opposition the DNC could regurgitate out because Biden was too proud to stop his reelection campaign early on. For California governor, I’d want an actual progressive with the intent to make things better over her any day.
I’ve never seen her be anything but a nakedly power hungry, political hack. She’s tried to sell herself as both a progressive and conservative liberal, depending on who she’s talking to. I wouldn’t doubt if sher looses again, she’ll go Republican.
Her disastrous campaign is what allowed Trump 2 to happen. How she ran her campaign (or allowed the DNC to steamroll her, same difference) is what’s wrong with her.
She started off aggressively attacking Trump and portraying him and Vance as weirdos. It was working and her numbers quickly went up.
Then she let the DNC take control of her campaign (the DNC is the main organization for the Democratic party). She stopped the attacks and started acting like a typical establishment empty suit Dem, which culminated in her saying that she’d change nothing from Biden (who had a 38% approval rating). She did this while also campaigning with Liz Cheney who is a very conservative anti-Trump Republican.
They basically took Dem voters for granted and tried to peel off Trump voters while saying she would be just like Joe Biden, who Trump voters and a majority of independents despise. It was an idiotic strategy
She started off aggressively attacking Trump and portraying him and Vance as weirdos.
More importantly she promised progressive economic policy. She had stuff like a wealth tax on the books, for example. When the DNC took over she started abandoning or watering down those policies and focusing exclusively on Trump (though her attacks on him were much more like an empty suit dem).

I downvoted mainly because nothing you posted is true
We need a leader that will advocate for our economic class. That’s not her.

Italian here.
Why her campaign went wrong?

Thx.
It seems to me dems didn’t cared about voting for Harris. Only 64% voted and Trump won with a 23% of the population, really not much.
