A number of prominent Democratic donors are reportedly unenthusiastic about the prospect of former Vice President Kamala Harris launching a bid for California governor now that Gov. Gavin Newsom is term-limited in 2026, according to a revealing report by Politico’s Melanie Mason and Jeremy B. White.
Following her decisive electoral defeat last November, speculation began to swirl about Harris plotting a swift political comeback. Her supporters have highlighted the substantial fundraising haul brought in by the Harris-Walz campaign, particularly after President Biden exited the race, as a key argument for her continued viability as a candidate.
