Why? She has been person non grata since the election and has completely checked out. Unless she thinks the ballot initiative to make California a nation will work
This comes off very bad for her. Who wants a candidate that isn’t entirely committed or interested in the office they might run for?
WTF? Aren’t there other people that can become president or governor? In the case of Trump rocks and organic molecules?
Which candidate will she not be in that election?
No thanks, I’d like an actual progressive for once.
Yeah… Harris was an OK option for president given the state of national politics. But California can do far better.
Good luck with that. The Democrats have sold out to the rich and corporations
She needs to fuck off.
here here… she sucks…
Hear hear* Not trying to be a jerk, just sharing because I thought it was funny the first time I saw the phrase.
Californian here. No.
I want someone who doesn’t seek approval from conservatives. She can fuck off and collect speakers fees for the rest of her life for all I care.
She would still be better than Newsom. That’s a pretty low bar though.
Do we know he’s going to run as a Democrat? Seems like someone who was a Democrat wouldn’t initiate their podcast with TPUSA and railing against trans people.
He’s term limited, so won’t be governor again.
He wants to run for president.
Isn’t it obvious? Harris is running for Governor, because Newsom is running for President.
Which will be hilarious if Trump Jr. also runs for President, because his (former) long-time fiancee was also Newsom’s ex-wife. Kimberly Guilfoyle will be hitting the interview circuit big-time as the ex-partner of both candidates.
The Eskimo Brothers showdown.
Newsome just launched a podcast and glazed the fuck out of his first guest: Charlie Kirk
No fucking WAY that guy needs to be president
Never heard that before… Glazed. Is it something sexual?
Yeah, kinda? It’s a metaphor for just absolutely talking someone or something up incessantly. Basically just cumming all over the place about them. Similar to “riding”, in that regard.
Glazed in a good way or bad way?
Newsome doesn’t believe trans athletes who went through male puberty should play with people who haven’t
Getting my popcorn ready.
Oh jfc don’t. When you blow an election this hard you need to just go away.
Another source familiar with Harris’ thinking told CBS News that she is “seriously considering” a run for governor. A gubernatorial bid would likely mean she would not run for president in 2028, which she is also considering.
On one hand, yes, she had an very abbreviated campaign period and yes, the big issue was the inflation, and there’s a limited amount that she could do about that.
On the other hand, she also had a well-funded campaign, and she had a shot and didn’t make it.
And she didn’t poll that strongly.
I would really rather have the Democrats find the strongest candidate they can in 2028. Harris didn’t run last time because she was the strongest option in the country, but because she was VP.
Harris was doing pretty well until she let the dipshit DNC consultants take control of her messaging. Those guys are totally out of touch with the electorate.
Refusing to distance herself from Biden was her biggest mistake though. Dems are such morons. They thought the only problem was that he was old, ignoring his 38% approval rating
I’ll be happy when the Democrats having a primary is a safe assumption again. 1 superdelegate-fuckified primary in 2016, 1 completely skipped primary in 2024.
I know this is a radical idea, but hear me out Democratic strategists… Have primaries, let the voters tell you who they like, so that you end up with the strongest candidate in the general. Just something to think about.
There was definitely some fuckery behind the scenes in 2020 also. Everyone pulled out and endorsed Biden at the same time.
It’s not just about finding the best candidate, it’s also about not disillusioning the voters by very obviously ratfucking the primary. Don’t piss off your voters right before a general election! Why do we even have to say this?
They didn’t even have a good reason to do so, because Bernie would have lost anyway. Just let him lose fair and square without pissing anyone off! And I say this as a Bernie voter. He was a good influence on the candidates, but he didn’t even win Washington State last time. No way would he have won a fair primary. The protest votes would have tapered off as soon as he looked like a real contender.
Like it or not, Harris was the right choice for 2024.
She had access to Biden war chest on day one, which was critical.
She completely wasted her opportunity
Go away Hillary 2 electric boogaloo
Well, you got rump so you should be ecstatic
Harris fucked us with Trump, and now she’s trying to fuck us again by losing to another maga retard.
Harris, you are a fucking loser, we don’t want you.
Enjoy your rump!
californian here. i hope she portrays being more progressive than she did in her presidential campaign. she seems very politically conservative for wanting the governorship here.
I mean, your current governor just invited Charlie Kirk on his podcast to bash trans people together, and I haven’t read that he’s going to be forced out of office in disgrace, so…
I mean he already can’t run again because of term limits, so nobody needs to force him out of office.
Oh cool, so in your last term you can just do whatever you want and it’s all good?
I literally did not say that.
Do you think “force out of office” means passively wait until the next election where you then defeat them at the ballot box?
No, but then what does it mean? You literally can’t remove him until his term ends.
What? Do you base your “literally” statements on just gut feelings?
There are multiple ways a governor of California can be removed from office. There was literally already a recall election against this governor, there’s also impeachment, and good old fashion pressure to resign from the public and leadership.
She’s always seemed very politically flexible to me.
That’s not a good thing. What America needs is strong leaders with convictions, not more suits.
In retrospect yes, my comment could be seen as a positive. That wasn’t my intent.
As long as you’re the one paying her you can make her say whatever you want.
California deserves someone that represents them for once, not another neoliberal who will always move as far right as they can get away with.
California is neoliberal with a thin veneer of progressivism painted on by leftist at a thickness that chips constantly in most places.
