There does not appear to be many Californians dreaming of former Vice President Kamala Harris.
A majority of Golden State “policy influencers” expressed skepticism about Harris’s chances of competing for governor in 2026, when incumbent Democrat Gavin Newsom is prevented from running owing to term limits.
According to a survey conducted by Politico and UC Berkeley’s Citrin Center, 36% of respondents were “indifferent” to the thought of Harris running, 22% were “mostly excited,” 20% were “irritated,” and 4% were “outraged.”
