INSANITY: Kamala Considering Run For Governor of California as Poll Reveals Who Democrat Voters Prefer for 2028 Presidential Nominee

Kamala is insisting she’s not done.

And according to recent polling more Democratic voters want to see her attempt another run for the presidency in 2028 than any other candidate.

But rumor has it she is seriously eyeing a run at California’s Governor’s mansion in 2026 when Gavin Newsom’s term runs out — and his term limit, as well.

And this is not the first time that rumors have swirled in the form of alleged leaks from Kamala’s inner circle about a possible run for Governor of California.

Back in May Fox News ran a report, which Kamala’s people denied, that she told her closest confidants that her backup plan was to return to Cali and run for Governor if Biden, still the nominee at the time, lost the election.

In fact, Jeff Vaughn came out with a report the day after Kamala’s loss to President Trump with a similar story.

Citing “political sources”, he reported that her plan after losing the presidency was indeed to return to California and do the natural thing; run for Governor.

But Kamala is reportedly not closing the door to a possible second run at the presidency in 2028.

She is weighing both options and may not make a decision immediately on either according to a story in Politico.

VP Kamala Harris leaves Hawaii this week, where she’s been decompressing with family and some senior aides before heading back to San Francisco and then to Washington later this week.

Her tropical interlude hasn’t been entirely about R&R. Harris has spent a lot of time on the phone since her loss to DONALD TRUMP three weeks ago tomorrow. And she has given all of the allies she has spoken to the same message: “I am staying in the fight.”

Put simply, Harris has two possible tracks should she wish to stake a place at the highest level of Democratic politics: (1) position herself for a 2028 presidential run or (2) pursue a run for California governor in 2026.

While the two aren’t mutually exclusive technically, they are practically — there’s an “emerging consensus that she probably can’t do both,” Eugene and Chris report. Assuming she is elected governor, it would be hard to imagine her turning right around and running for president given the demands on the leader of the nation’s largest state. (As one confidant put it, “It’s a real job.”)

But they’re both credible paths. While no Democrat is pleased with the election’s outcome, obviously, much of the blame inside the party seems to be going to her boss for staying in the race as long as he did. And while there are recriminations about the Harris campaign’s strategy and spending, polls show Democratic voters continue to have a positive impression of the candidate herself.

Billionaire real estate guru Grant Cardone responded to the rumors that Kamala might be eyeing the Governorship of Cali with some straight shooting, and I tend to think his insight is right on target.

That pendulum definitely swings, and if she has her way with California… 2 years of Kamala’s campaigning might be enough for Californians to flip just like much of the rest of the country when 2026 rolls around, much less the 2028 presidential elections if she actually did made it to the California Governor’s mansion.

Kamala has reportedly told her allies to keep all the options on the table for a comeback.

And as crazy as that sounds to most of us, polling among Democratic voters would argue that is a wise decision according to a report by Straight Arrow News.

According to the Puck News / Echelon Insights polling, Democratic voters still favor Kamala Harris over any other Democratic nominee for the 2028 presidential elections according to a report in The Hill.

Despite her loss to President-elect Trump in the 2024 White House race, Vice President Harris is Democrats’ top choice to be their party’s 2028 presidential nominee, according to a new survey.

The poll, released by Puck News/Echelon Insights, found that 41 percent of likely Democratic voters would vote for Harris to be atop the Democratic ticket in 2028. California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) placed second at 8 percent, and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D), who was in the running to be Harris’s vice president this cycle, garnered 7 percent.

Both Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), Harris’s vice presidential pick, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who ran for president in 2020, got 6 percent.

On the other side of the aisle, Vice President-elect JD Vance led the way with 37 percent when Republican respondents were asked who they would pick in their party’s 2028 primary. Former 2024 presidential candidates Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy were at 9 percent each.

Those numbers for JD Vance among Republican voters are promising; particularly if Kamala Harris spends the next 2 years campaigning for governor, and then two more years after that wrecking the place.

Like I said, that pendulum does indeed swing back — I can only imagine JD Vance’s polling numbers go up even further if Kamala finds a way to stay in the spotlight, reminding conservatives (and people with common sense, for that matter) just how much of a train wreck she can be.

Even if Gavin Newsom does take a shot at becoming the democratic nominee in 2028, it would take a complete catastrophe during President Trump’s term, ending in total failure, for that guy to win what Kamala could not.

Had the democrats allowed for a new primary rather than installing her dark lordship by decree, Gavin Newsom may have well excited the democratic base, and even kept enough people ignorant of the democratic party’s sham — he could have won, maybe.

But that ship has sailed.  Multitudes have seen behind the wizard’s curtain for the first time, thanks in many ways to Kamala Harris.  And what they have seen… many will never unsee.

I don’t think Gavin Newsom stands any better chance in 2028 against a possible JD Vance ticket than Kamala stood against Trump this go-around.

Not after all that has happened over the last few months.

Then again… people forget.  And unfortunately, the current electoral maps have California still firmly left leaning, even after the massive Trump red shift.

If Kamala wants to take California… there is good money that says she can.

But personally… I wouldn’t bet on it.
