Kamala Harris Won't Run for Governor

from Political Breakdown · host KQED

After months of speculation, Kamala Harris announced that she will not run for governor of California, which keeps her options open for a potential campaign for president in 2028.  The decision has created a political earthquake throughout the state, as Democrats already running for governor step on the gas for campaign operations now that the biggest threat to their candidacy is removed. Scott and Guy are joined by Politico's senior political reporter Melanie Mason to discuss what's ahead for the 2026 California governor's race.  Check out Political Breakdown’s weekly newsletter, delivered straight to your inbox.
