    Why? She has been person non grata since the election and has completely checked out. Unless she thinks the ballot initiative to make California a nation will work

    Harris didn’t even get 1/2 of 1% of the popular vote in either of the two states she primaried in for 2020. Still she somehow became the VP and eventually the presumptive presidential nominee of 2024.

    I feel like this is worth reminding people.

      Yeah but she was a sitting senator so she was in the club. She was a black woman so she ticked the right boxes to balance out Bidens white man. And she was a prosecutor who worked well with the police so she countered the defund the police message thay centrist dems were sure would sink them.

      She was a very very logical choice for Biden’s VP.

          She absolutely hesitated to comment on continuing to back the war on Gaza. She played by the script but it gave me the impression that she wasn’t on board when she paused and gave a vague answer instead. That’s when I felt like she would’ve departed from Biden’s legacy but was looking for a better moment to do it, but that’s only my interpretation.

    This comes off very bad for her. Who wants a candidate that isn’t entirely committed or interested in the office they might run for?

    WTF? Aren’t there other people that can become president or governor? In the case of Trump rocks and organic molecules?

      Yeah… Harris was an OK option for president given the state of national politics. But California can do far better.

    I want someone who doesn’t seek approval from conservatives. She can fuck off and collect speakers fees for the rest of her life for all I care.

      She would still be better than Newsom. That’s a pretty low bar though.

        Do we know he’s going to run as a Democrat? Seems like someone who was a Democrat wouldn’t initiate their podcast with TPUSA and railing against trans people.

    Isn’t it obvious? Harris is running for Governor, because Newsom is running for President.

    Which will be hilarious if Trump Jr. also runs for President, because his (former) long-time fiancee was also Newsom’s ex-wife. Kimberly Guilfoyle will be hitting the interview circuit big-time as the ex-partner of both candidates.

      Newsome just launched a podcast and glazed the fuck out of his first guest: Charlie Kirk

      No fucking WAY that guy needs to be president

          Yeah, kinda? It’s a metaphor for just absolutely talking someone or something up incessantly. Basically just cumming all over the place about them. Similar to “riding”, in that regard.

    Harris fucked us with Trump, and now she’s trying to fuck us again by losing to another maga retard.

    Harris, you are a fucking loser, we don’t want you.

    californian here. i hope she portrays being more progressive than she did in her presidential campaign. she seems very politically conservative for wanting the governorship here.

      I mean, your current governor just invited Charlie Kirk on his podcast to bash trans people together, and I haven’t read that he’s going to be forced out of office in disgrace, so…

              Do you think “force out of office” means passively wait until the next election where you then defeat them at the ballot box?

                  What? Do you base your “literally” statements on just gut feelings?

                  There are multiple ways a governor of California can be removed from office. There was literally already a recall election against this governor, there’s also impeachment, and good old fashion pressure to resign from the public and leadership.
