Kamala Harris Will Not Run for California Governor in 2026

Los Angeles — July 30, 2025 — Former Vice President and 2024 Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris announced today that she will not run for Governor of California in 2026, ending months of speculation about her potential candidacy.


Harris, a Bay Area native and former state attorney general and U.S. senator, stated:


“I love this state, its people, and its promise. It is my home. But after deep reflection, I’ve decided that I will not run for Governor in this election.” 

She emphasized that her leadership and public service will not be in elected office for now, though she pledged to remain active in politics by supporting Democratic candidates nationwide and listening to the American public.


This decision opens the door for a possible 2028 presidential bid. While Harris stopped short of confirming such plans, many analysts suggest her choice not to pursue the governorship is intended to keep that option alive.


Her withdrawal significantly reshapes the race to succeed term-limited Governor Gavin Newsom. Leading declared Democratic candidates now include:


  • Xavier Becerra, former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary  
  • Eleni Kounalakis, current Lieutenant Governor
  • Katie Porter, former U.S. Representative
  • Antonio Villaraigosa, former Los Angeles Mayor
  • Betty Yee, former California State Controller

Trump Ends Kamala Harris’s Secret Service Protection — Biden’s Special Privilege Revoked

  Trump Ends Kamala Harris’s Secret Service Protection — Biden’s Special Privilege Revoked Washington, D.C., August 29, 2025 — President Donald Trump has formally ended the extended Secret Service protection that Kamala Harris had been enjoying since leaving office, rolling back a special benefit quietly granted by Joe Biden beyond what the law requires. What Happened By statute, former vice presidents receive six months of Secret Service protection after leaving office. Harris’s protection was set to expire July 21, 2025. Before leaving office, President Biden issued a last-minute extension, granting Harris a full year of taxpayer-funded coverage. Trump’s new directive, effective September 1, 2025, cancels that unusual extension, returning the policy to its legal baseline. Why It Matters Harris is preparing for a 15-city book tour promoting her memoir 107 Days. Without the Secret Service, she will now need to rely on private or state-funded security. Supporters ...

Texas Showdown: Governor Abbott vows to oust fleeing Dems as GOP map sparks political firestorm By NewsFlash | August 4, 2025 AUSTIN, TX — Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a scathing statement Sunday night, accusing House Democrats of abandoning their constitutional responsibilities after more than 50 lawmakers fled the state to block a vote on a newly proposed congressional election map. The Republican-backed redistricting plan, introduced during a rare mid-decade legislative session, seeks to redraw the state’s congressional districts in a way that could give the GOP as many as five additional U.S. House seats ahead of the 2026 midterms. In response, Democratic legislators left the state—reportedly traveling to Illinois, New York, and Massachusetts—to break quorum and stall the bill. Abbott, clearly incensed, didn’t mince words in a full-throated statement released by his office. “Real Texans do not run from a fight,” he said. “But that’s exactly what most of the Texas Hou...
