Since her inauguration in 2021, Vice President Kamala Harris has been at the center of the political debate in the United States. Following her defeat in the 2024 presidential election to Donald Trump, Harris has kept a low profile, but has privately instructed her advisors to keep her policy options open.
These include a possible presidential run in 2028 or a run for governor of California in 2026, given that the current governor, Gavin Newsom, cannot run again.

Recent polls indicate that Kamala Harris has solid support within the Democratic Party, according to The Sun.
An Emerson College poll positions her as the favorite to lead the Democratic presidential ticket in 2028, with 37% support.
In addition, another poll places her as the leading contender to succeed Newsom as governor of California, with 57% support among Democratic voters, especially among women, Hispanics and African-Americans.
