Former Vice President Kamala Harris is weighing a potential gubernatorial run as current California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom's term nears its conclusion.
Her decision, expected by summer’s end, comes after serving in multiple high-profile positions, including Vice President. Should she enter, Harris would immediately become a frontrunner.
The gubernatorial contest already features prominent Democrats: former California Democratic Representative Katie Porter and former Los Angeles Democratic Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa have positioned themselves as serious contenders in the race.
