As she grapples with navigating next steps, Harris has spoken with family and close friends, including the one other person who has been in her exact position: Hillary Clinton, New York Magazine reported. The two have reportedly spoken several times since Harris’ defeat.
NEW YORK POST
They have a lot in common.
Following her brutal election loss, former Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly spoke with Hillary Clinton on multiple occasions as she mulls her future in the wake of President Trump’s return to the White House.
Not much is known about the details of those discussions, but Harris had also consulted family members and friends while trying to figure out her future, New York Magazine reported.
Clinton, 77, was the first woman to win the Democratic nomination for president, and she was also the first female to notch a popular vote victory.
Harris, 60, was the first female vice president in US history and the second woman to serve as the Democrats’ presidential standard bearer.
But both were beaten by Trump, 78.
Harris’ sister Maya had served as a senior policy adviser to Clinton and also chaired Harris’ unsuccessful 2020 presidential bid.
Right after her loss, the 49th vice president publicly declared that she would “stay in the fight,” but she hasn’t specified what that would entail.
Harris also impressed upon her close confidants that she doesn’t isn’t prepared to make any plans that could shut the door to a possible 2028 presidential bid, according to New York Magazine.
Some allies have speculated that she may throw her hat in the ring to serve as California governor in 2026 as incumbent Democratic Gov. Gavin Newson is term-limited.
There’s a widespread belief that Harris’ three main options are to either run for governor, run for president or refrain from seeking office again.
