Kamala Harris is reportedly toying with the idea of running for California governor in 2026 while keeping one eye on a possible presidential bid in 2028. The stakes are high; a failed gubernatorial run could tarnish her already waning reputation as a viable Democratic candidate. In an ideal world, a Democrat in California would face no real challenges, but Kamala’s political career often raises eyebrows, and this situation is ripe for skepticism. After all, this is the woman who once famously cackled her way through a debate like it was open mic night.
A fresh poll released by Politico and UC Berkeley’s Citrin Center leads to a rather tantalizing prospect: California voters—both registered and policy insiders—appear to be, well, apathetic about the idea of Harris in the governor’s mansion. Indifference is the name of the game here, and for a politician, it’s a worse fate than outright disdain. Those who dislike her at least keep the buzz alive, whereas indifference just signals that she’s about as exciting as day-old bread. How about that for a wake-up call?
The numbers present a comically bleak landscape for Kamala. A mere one-third of registered voters showed any excitement at the thought of her gubernatorial aspirations, and the social justice warriors that make up the “selected group of policy insiders” weren’t much more thrilled. A hefty 36% of respondents couldn’t muster a single care to spare about her potential run. The irony that this is happening in a state where Democrats dominate and where one might expect a little more enthusiasm is deliciously telling.
When it comes to independent voters—those ever-elusive creatures—Harris doesn’t fare much better. A whopping 21% claimed to feel “hopeless” about her run, and another 26% expressed frustration. Add to that awkward reality the fact that 19% of Latino voters feel similarly disillusioned, and you have a recipe for political despair that even Hollywood couldn’t script. It seems that the adoration once reserved for her is not only slipping away but may have already moved on to greener pastures.

U.C. Berkeley’s own Jack Citrin, whose political views might make even the most die-hard Leftist blush, seemed shocked by the lack of enthusiasm for Kamala’s potential campaign. He pointedly noted a shift in voter sentiment since 2020, hinting that Latino voters are beginning to favor candidates like Donald Trump over established Democrats. If that’s not a sign for Harris to consider her next move carefully, what is?
Despite her waning appeal, Harris may still cling to the hope of turning things around by 2028, a mere two years after a possible gubernatorial defeat. With time on her side, she might think she can stage a comeback—yet, given the public’s current indifference, one has to wonder if this is merely wishful thinking. She continues to proclaim her determination, stating she’s “not going anywhere,” but with that sentiment hanging in the air like a bad odor, the question remains: does anyone really care? The odds certainly aren’t in her favor, though she might have a few tricks left up her sleeve, thanks to the leftist media machine willing to spin her narrative.
Either way, this looks like just another chapter in the political saga of an increasingly irrelevant figure representing a dwindling leftist agenda. One can only chuckle at the thought that 2026 could turn out to be just as lackluster as the preceding years. If Harris’s political future hinges on a combination of disillusionment and indifference, maybe just sitting this one out would serve her best. After all, when the pack of Democrats is dragging one of their own down, it might just be time for a new game plan.
