Presidential candidate Kamala Harris is allegedly angling to relaunch her political career with a run for California’s governorship in 2026 — but insiders say fed-up Democratic donors in the Golden State wish that the former U.S. senator would just go away.
Following Kamala’s lopsided loss to Republican President Donald Trump last year, many longtime political patrons have turned their backs on former commander in chief Joe Biden’s vice president.

“Kamala just reminds you we are in this complete s**tstorm,” Mather Martin — a San Francisco fundraiser who provided support for multiple Harris campaigns and cut a six-figure check for her doomed White House campaign — told Politico.
“We’re living in a nightmare because of the Democrats [choosing Harris]. I’m furious at them, truly.”
Another California fundraiser told the outlet: “Honestly, no one is incredibly pumped” by the prospect of her running again. The source said donors “realize it’s just going to bring up the whole pathetic last presidential [election cycle], which no one wants to hear about again. And then it’s the whole ‘Did you know Joe Biden?’ thing.”
As the world knows, the Democrats’ White House hopes went up in smoke last year when bewildered incumbent Biden bowed out of the race nearly a month after his disastrous debate performance against Trump on June 27, 2024.
Harris replaced Biden as the Democratic nominee and delivered fumbling explanations of her intended agenda and never gained enough traction among voters.

Since then, the former San Francisco district attorney has faced questions about what she knew about 82-year-old Biden’s physical and mental well-being, as well as an alleged cover-up by White House insiders to conceal his apparently faltering condition from the public.
“She is talking to people around the state about whether she is going to run,” Joe Cotchett, a San Francisco trial lawyer and Democratic donor, told Politico. “If she does, she’s going to have very difficult problems.”

Meanwhile, a Democratic Party insider agrees that Harris is going to have a hard time overcoming the stain of the waning months of the Biden administration.
“Kamala is stuck between her own burning political ambitions and the reality of 2024’s election fiasco,” the source tells the National Enquirer.
“I don’t think she’s going to go away quietly unless the hopelessness of the situation is very clearly spelled out for her by the Democratic establishment. But it appears very much as if that process is now underway.”
