After a tough election campaign, is Kamala Harris ready for another one?

Harris hasn't announced any plans, but a new poll asks Californians if they would consider Harris if she were were to run for governor in 2026.

"She not only has a very high level of name recognition, but a great deal of residual support," USC Annenberg School of Communication professor Dan Schnur said. "However, that support has not been tested in a statewide race against another formidable Democrat in a long time."

The poll, by the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies, found that among the potential candidates, former Democratic Rep. Katie Porter leads with 13%; Republican Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco is at 12%; Republican State Sen. Brian Dahle is at 11%; current Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis is at 7%; and former L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is also at 7%.

When asked about Harris, she jumps to the top with 33% of respondents saying very likely to support her and 13% saying somewhat likely.

"I would view these numbers as reasonably encouraging for the Vice President," UC Berkeley IGS Professor of Political Science Eric Schickler said. "It suggests that the race, with her out of the race, is really wide open."

EXCERPT

Yep, now they're floating Harris as Newsome's successor in California, while he runs for prez in 2028.

I have a hard time fathoming why any sane CA'ian would vote for Kammie, though I'm hardly objective. Even pre-Biden her record was one of stupidity, laziness, tyrannous action, and failing to deal with very serious staff problems.

Sadly, name recognition has unwarranted influence, and of the various other names in the OP, her name recognition is far greater than any of the others. I'm not aware that any of those listed other than Porter has expressed interest in running for Governor. I would at least give Dahle and/or Bianco a serious look-over and based on their past, probably could vote for either, in the primary at least.

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

She would suck at job too.

Oh please let this happen.  California deserves her.

(Sorry, @PeteS in CA )

Kammie’s lazy enough that she might be slightly less awful than Noisome.
