The knives are already out for former VP Kamala Harris on Fox, this time for apparently not declaring soon enough to suit them whether or not she’s going to run for governor of California. As CBS News reported:
Next year, Gov. Gavin Newsom will be leaving his seat as California’s top elected official and several candidates have already announced their bids to fill his position.
In 2026, Newsom will be finishing his second term as governor and will no longer be able to run for re-election. Even though the election for his seat is well over a year away, candidates are starting to pop up trying to appeal to Californians.
There is a lot of uncertainty about whether former Vice President Kamala Harris will decide to run. A person familiar with her decision-making process has said she is expected to make her decision by the end of the summer.
Candidates will have until early March 2026 to file their paperwork ahead of the June 2, 2026, primary, according to the California Secretary of State’s Office.
