CNN senior reporter Isaac Dovere Vice President Kamala Harris might not walk away from politics after her 2024 election defeat, and those close to her do not want her “final act” to be the certification of Donald Trump’s victory over her.

According to Dovere, those around Harris believe she has not ruled out another presidential bid or a potential run for governor in California. Dovere joined network anchor Manu Raju on Sunday’s Inside Politics to discuss what the VP has been up to and what she might do next.

“We haven’t seen or heard much from Vice President Kamala Harris since she lost the election last month,” Raju told CNN’s viewers. “But the Democratic Party still reeling from Trump’s victory.”

Raju asked Dovere what he had heard about Harris. The CNN reporter responded Harris is mulling two options:

What she’s been saying to people over the last couple of weeks, donors, other supporters that she’s been talking with, As you haven’t seen the last of me, I’m not going quietly into the night. Advisers, people close to her are debating about what that means. They do not want her final official act ever to be essentially certifying Donald Trump’s win over her, especially four years after January 6th. And so they look at this governor’s race in California in 2026, and it seems to them like a layup essentially, that she would probably clear the field or mostly clear the field and she would get to be governor of California.

[…]

But if she does that, that means that she couldn’t turn around and run for president again in 2028. She’d need to essentially declare right away. And that is what it really comes down to because there are people close to her who say she didn’t get a fair shot this year. It wasn’t it wasn’t up to what she could have done. And look how well she performed anyway. She should get to go again in 2020. And then there are ones who say, look, with where things are with the Democratic Party at it, she would not have a clear field or a cleared field, rather, in the Democratic primary and could lose the nomination. And to come off of 2024 into that would be really terrible.
