Kamala Harris announces she will not run for governor of California (www.theguardian.com)

Kamala Harris, the former vice-president and 2024 Democratic presidential nominee, announced on Wednesday that she will not run for governor of California – a highly anticipated decision that leaves the contest to lead the country’s largest blue state wide open.

“After deep reflection, I’ve decided that I will not run for Governor in this election,” Harris said in a statement, ending months of speculation about whether she might enter the race filled with lesser-known aspirants. Harris, who previously served as California’s attorney general and US senator, offered few details about her future plans but promised to share more “in the months ahead”.

“For now, my leadership – and public service – will not be in elected office,” she said, leaving the door open for a future bid. “I look forward to getting back out and listening to the American people, helping elect Democrats across the nation who will fight fearlessly, and sharing more details in the months ahead about my own plans.”

It is sad that she does not run for governor, hopefully she will stay in politics.

It would've been really impressive to watch her lose the governors race somehow as well. Really hope Katie Porter wins that primary.

Is Newsome term limited or something?

I feel sorry for California having to deal with that corrupt bozo.
