Critics of President Donald Trump think he lacked quite a bit of self-awareness when he said at a press conference this week that former Vice President Kamala Harris “can’t speak” and “can’t do an interview.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris said she would not run for public office because the system is “broken,” as she reflected on her decision not to pursue a gubernatorial run in California and spoke about what she views as “capitulation” by those tasked with guarding democracy during Donald Trump’s second administration.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris still hopes to be president. That’s the most obvious conclusion to draw from Harris announcing over the course of 24 hours that she is not running for governor of California but is releasing a new book about her failed 2024 presidential campaign.

The odds-on Kamala Harris becoming the next president have improved sharply from 50/1 (2 percent) to 25/1 (3.8 percent) among one bookmaker after the former vice president announced on Wednesday that she won't be running to be the next governor of California in 2026.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris has announced a new memoir called "107 Days," detailing her historic Democratic presidential run last year.

Kamala Harris’ decision not to enter the governor’s race is an immense victory for her would-be Democratic opponents, unlocking troves of donors who had been waiting for her announcement and voters who almost universally know the former vice president.
