Kamala Harris’s average for strings of abstract multi -blurry – known as salads with words – was one of the several reasons why her presidential campaign failed last year.

Her trend was exposed again last week when she announced She wouldn’t run for California Governor After making other candidates, political media and voters are waiting for months for her decision. Harris worshiped the competition in 2026 in a written statement, saying: “I look forward to returning and listening to the American people, to help the selection of Democrats across the country who will fight fearlessly and share more details in the months ahead of my own plans.

“As we look ahead, we must be ready to pursue a change through new methods and new thinking – engaged in our same values and principles, but not bound by the same play book,” she added.

A day later, Harris continued his parade of vague statements during Softball interview with a host of a talk show on late night Stephen ColbertStating that the US Government system is violated. Pressed softly to explain, Harris replied, “Well, it’s also obvious, right? But that doesn’t mean we give up.”

Whatever convinces Harris not to look for the manager, her message finally allows those who want the job to move to a higher gear. If she was running, several of the hopes would probably be dropped.

“None of these candidates start with name recognition across the country,” Gary South, a veteran democratic strategist, to the Los Angeles Times.

This said that there seemed to be two rather clear levels of application: Democrats with real shots in winning against those who face a difficult struggle to be taken seriously.

The higher level currently includes Katie PorterFormer Orange Congressman, which fell into the US Senate offer last year; Government lieutenant Eleni Kounalakiswho has a significant private wealth and is supported by former House speaker Nancy Pelosi; and Antonio VillaregosaFormer mayor of Los Angeles.

The lower level includes Xavier BacchFormer State Attorney General and Biden’s Cabinet member; Tony AtkinsFormer President of the State Senate; School supervisor Tony Thurmond and former state controller Betty yesS

What about Republicans?

Riverside Chad Bianko sheriff and former Fox News presenter Steve Hilton are running, but the chances of GOP’s victory next year are endless. However, the democratic field remains big, fragmenting the democratic vote, a Republican can finish second in the main place and win a place to vote for the general elections, essentially guaranteeing the nominee for Democrats, easy victory.

It happened last year when a Democrat Adam Schiff an indirectly helped Republican Steve Garvey ranks second in the main US senate, thus giving up the overall duel for Porter elections.

When a Grateor Governor campaign will appear a clear democratic Fronner in the Governor campaign, the other Democrats will compete in the second place in the main place of the vote in November.

Meanwhile another potential candidate can change the dynamics after Harris: Los Angeles businessman Rick Caruso, a Republican, turned into a Democrat who lost the mayor’s race in 2022 and reports that he weighs or another mayor’s offer in the next year, causing the acting Karen Bass, or a shot in the governmentS

Caruso is very rich and could attract heavy support from the business community in California, especially if it survives the main one and encounters a liberal Democrat as a Porter.

We waited months to learn if Harris would run. We are now waiting for Caruso.
