Kamala Harris, former Vice President, has decided not to run for California governor in 2026, despite considering the role as the chief executive of her home state. Harris, who has served as a prosecutor, Attorney General, United States Senator, and Vice President, believes that improving the system from within is the best way to make a difference in people’s lives and fight for a better future. She has been reflecting on how to contribute to the Democratic Party after her presidential election loss and has waded back into politics, appearing at youth voters summits and advocating for abortion rights. Harris’ joint fundraising committee, the Harris Victory Fund, has begun fundraising on behalf of Roy Cooper’s new Senate bid.
Kamala Harris has announced that she will not run for the position of governor of California in 2026.
