Former Vice President Kamala Harris announced that she would not run for governor of California in 2026, leaving the door open for a possible second presidential bid in 2028.

Some in her inner circle suggested that winning the 2026 California governor election would have likely prevented a 2028 White House run, but with that option off the table, Harris could potentially launch a serious presidential campaign in 2028. Despite potential political baggage from the 2024 campaign, Harris is seen as a recognizable Democrat with a strong fundraising network. Other potential 2028 Democratic presidential contenders are already making early moves, aiming to move past the Biden administration and election setbacks.
