Kamala Harris Says She Won’t Run for California Governor

Former Vice President Kamala Harris says she will not run for California governor.
In a July 30 statement, Harris said she had put “serious thought” into seeking the job in the state, where she once served as attorney general.

“But after deep reflection, I’ve decided that I will not run for Governor in this election,” Harris said.

In the statement announcing her decision, Harris did not rule out another bid for the presidency — and said she would be sharing more details in the coming months about her political plans.

“For now, my leadership – and public service – will not be in elected office. I look forward to getting back out and listening to the American people, helping elect Democrats across the nation who will fight fearlessly, and sharing more details in the months ahead about my own plans,” she stated.
