Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is contemplating a gubernatorial run in California for 2026, with a decision expected by summer 2024. Following her presidential loss, she has been engaging with supporters and political allies about this potential move. With Gov. Gavin Newsom term-limited, Harris' entry could clear the field of Democratic contenders.

Harris' recent engagements and discussions hint at her desire to remain politically active, whether in state politics or broader roles.
