Kamala Harris could run for California Governor on Throwback Thursday

Happy Throwback Thursday! I'm looking forwards and backwards today, beginning with Kornacki: Kamala Harris could face 'hiccups' if she enters California gubernatorial race from NBC News.

NBC News National Political Correspondent Steve Kornacki joins Meet the Press NOW to discuss the early state of play in California's gubernatorial race as former Vice President Kamala Harris weighs a run for governor.
Yes, that's a qualified field that could give Kamala Harris a run for her money — on paper. In reality, she's walking away with the contest, as KTLA reported in Kamala Harris enjoys wide lead in hypothetical governor's race.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris would have a wide lead over the rest of the field if she were to enter the 2026 race for California governor, according to an Inside California Politics/Emerson College poll released Thursday. April 17, 2025.
And she hasn't even declared!

NY Pulse, a channel that has only existed for a month, had more in Kamala Harris leads California governor’s race — but 50% say the former VP shouldn’t run: poll.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is the runaway front-runner in the California governor’s race – but voters are split on whether the failed 2024 Democratic presidential candidate should even enter the fray.

Harris has the support of 31% of Californians who plan to vote in the Golden State’s June 2026 gubernatorial primary election, according to an Emerson College Polling/Inside California Politics/The Hill survey released Thursday,

But half of likely voters, 50%, believe that the former vice president, California senator and state attorney general should not run for the governorship.

Harris’s closest competitors are former Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.), who only mustered 8% support, and Republican Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco, who garnered a 4% backing.

Former Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, a recent entrant into the race, received 2% support.
That's a really good preview image, but I'm suspicious of the channel itself. I wonder who's behind it.

I shared 'Kamala Harris, explained in 7 moments' by Vox from August 21, 2024, at the Citizen Connect Facebook page then Steve in Manhattan included it in Mike's Blog Roundup at Crooks and Liars. Both contributed to it earning 405 default and 418 raw page views to rank fourth during August 2024. It also earned 9 comments, most for year and August 2024, although four were duplicates because of a comment posting glitch. The post ended the 2024-2025 blogging year with 526 raw page views to rank 13th among entries posted during the blogging year and 17th overall.


I ask The Archdruid and his readers 'Can you show us on the doll exactly where the educated professionals hurt you?' A Festivus airing of grievances from December 23, 2024 earned 8 comments, second most for year and tied for most during both December 2024 and January 2025.


Vox asks 'Can Paris fix its poop problem before the Olympics?' with 7 comments thanks to a conversation between Infidel753 and me, the third most for year and most for August 2024.
