The future of former Vice President Kamala Harris remains uncertain months after her election defeat to now-President Donald Trump.

As she contemplates her next steps, Harris has been consulting with family and close confidants, including

Hillary Clinton—the only other person to have faced a similar post-election scenario. According to New York Magazine, the two have reportedly spoken several times since Harris’s loss.

Speculation about Harris’s political future is growing. Some believe she may pursue a gubernatorial run in California next year, as her close ally, Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, is term-limited and cannot seek re-election. Others suggest she remains focused on the presidency and may launch another campaign. Shortly after the election, Harris reportedly advised her team not to rule out plans for a potential 2028 presidential bid, the outlet reported.

The former vice president has not explicitly discussed her future plans but has hinted that her political career is far from over.

Last week, just days before the end of her tenure as then-President Joe Biden’s VP, Harris participated in the longstanding tradition of signing

her desk drawer while addressing a room of staff. During her brief remarks, Harris declared that she would not “go quietly into the night,” emphasizing that “our work is not done.”

Her remarks to staff mirrored those she made in her concession speech, telling supporters: “While I concede this election, I do not concede the fight that fueled this campaign.”
