Why Kamala Harris could run for California governor and bypass another White House bid
- Kamala Harris is considering a 2026 run for California governor to replace term-limited Gavin Newsom amid a crowded field in the state.

- If Harris runs, she may avoid a fractious 2028 presidential primary and face challenges including California’s $12 billion deficit, homelessness, and a competitive open primary system.
