Top aides and people close to Kamala Harris have divided over whether she should head home to run for California governor in 2026 — and it all comes down to whether they believe she could win the Democratic nomination for president in an expected competitive primary in 2028.

Vice President Harris is assuring her allies and donors that she has no intention to step off the political stage anytime soon, according to a new report from CNN. She is unsure, however, if she should make a run for California governor in two years or if she should wait to run for president again in 2028.

If Vice President Kamala Harris decides to run for California governor, she would seismically reshape the race and cause ripple effects on down-ballot contests.

Kamala Harris was thrust into the national spotlight in the summer when President Joe Biden, about 100 days from the general election, dropped out of the race and endorsed his vice president for the job.
