Gavin Newsom Has a Kamala Harris Problem

Source: Town Hall
by Larry Elder

“Former Vice President Kamala Harris recently dropped several not-too-subtle hints that she wants to run for president in 2028. Polls, at least for now, show the leading likely Democrat candidate is California Gov. Gavin Newsom. Many Democrat pundits and insiders say Harris'[s] failed run against Donald Trump renders her damaged goods and therefore insufficiently attractive to the donor class. The Los Angeles Times recently wrote: ‘As Kamala Harris eyes a possible 2028 presidential bid, there is little outward enthusiasm among her biggest 2024 backers to fund a repeat performance’ …. For Harris, this sounds ominous. But there’s a flaw in this reasoning, and it represents a huge threat to Newsom’s plans, as well as those of any of the other names floated as possible candidates.” (05/14/26)
