Getting into the governor’s race, top Harris advisers believe, would require making her intentions clear at the latest by the summer of 2025.
“Running for governor would be a step down, and it would interfere with her ability to run for president again,” the person said.
More than one person has noticed she has not shut down the conversation when the topic of running for governor has come up.
To run for governor now would be to go for a job Newsom is done with – and likely while watching him make an expected run for president of his own.
If she decided to run for governor, I’m sure we would have a conversation first,” Kounalakis said.
