0:18Now PlayingFormer Vice President Kamala Harris said she will not run for governor of California next year, ending months of speculation over whether she would seek to return to elected office in her home state following her defeat in the 2024 presidential race.
“In recent months, I have given serious thought to asking the people of California for the privilege to serve as their governor,” Harris, 60, said in a statement on Wednesday. “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.”
Harris, an Oakland native and former US senator, was well positioned to be a frontrunner in the state’s gubernatorial race in a crowded field of Democratic candidates seeking to succeed Gavin Newsom, who is barred from seeking a third term. Her decision clears the way for other Democratic hopefuls vying to lead a state whose economy is the world’s fourth-largest if it were its own country.
