Multiple outlets report that Kamala Harris has given herself a deadline regarding her decision to run for Governor of California.
The failed presidential candidate reportedly will decide by the end of summer.
Gov. Gavin Newsom is term-limited and will leave office in January 2027.

From POLITICO:
At a pre-Oscars party last weekend, Harris was asked by another partygoer when she would make a decision about jumping into the California governor’s race. She gave a definitive answer, according to two people with knowledge of the conversation: the end of the summer.
And in calls to supporters, allies and trusted aides in recent weeks, Harris has made clear that she plans to make a decision in a few months.
Harris’ timeline, reported here first, is the clearest indication to date that she may enter the race to succeed the termed-out Gavin Newsom in the Golden State. And, allies said, a win would almost certainly take a 2028 presidential run — which Harris is still mulling — off the table.
Harris maintains significant leads in early national polls of the field of possible candidates, yet she’s had some frank conversations with advisers and confidants in Washington about how difficult they expect the presidential primary to be.

Steve Hilton commented:
Kamala Harris says she may run for California governor because she’s “intrigued by the idea of being the first Black woman to be governor in America.”
What? This is not some identity politics consolation prize. It’s a serious job and Kamala Harris is obviously not up to it: pic.twitter.com/xnbt9LNwZZ

Per USA TODAY:
Harris, the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee, has kept a relatively low public profile since her loss to President Donald Trump in November. But she spoke last month at the the NAACP Image Awards in Pasadena, California, broadcast by Black Entertainment Television, where she was awarded the organization’s Chairman’s Award.
“While we have no illusions about what we are up against in this chapter of our American story, this chapter will be written not simply by whoever occupies the Oval Office nor by the wealthiest among us,” Harris said in a reference to Trump and White House senior adviser Elon Musk, the world’s richest person.
Harris mounted a snapshot 107-day campaign for president, quickly emerging as the Democratic nominee after former President Joe Biden’s exit from the 2024 race. She initially erased polling leads Trump had over Biden, but the momentum was short-lived as Harris ultimately lost all seven closely contested battleground states to Trump. Harris struggled to distance herself from Biden’s poor approval ratings and convince Americans tired of the status quo that she represented change.
Harris, who lost her bid to be the first Black female U.S. president, would be the first Black female governor of a U.S. state if she were to win.
Former U.S. Rep. Katie Porter, D-Calif., is considering a run for California governor. Other Democrats who have announced their candidacies are former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis, former California state Senate Leader Toni Atkins, state schools superintendent Tony Thurmond and the state’s former comptroller, Betty Yee. Most if not all these contenders, however, probably would bow out if Harris runs, Politico reported.
