Then–Vice President Kamala Harris speaks to her staff at the White House in Washington, D.C., January 16, 2025.

Former vice president Kamala Harris marks the one-year anniversary of the start of her abbreviated presidential campaign:

Putting aside the fact that there's no reference to the guy she replaced... does that sound like a woman who can't wait to run for governor of California to you?

Her previous post on X was on Independence Day, pledging to continue to fight for the ideals of our nation. The day before, she lamented that the Trump administration was Project 2025 in action. On June 24, she marked the anniversary of the Dobbs decision on abortion.

As I keep pointing out, if Harris either never mentions or barely mentions state issues in her infrequent public appearances and social media posts . . . does she seem like she's really itching to become the next governor? Do you get the feeling she can't wait to tackle the state’s budget problems, exorbitant cost of living in many places, and exodus of high earners and business owners?

Harris has told associates she expects to announce a decision about her future plans by the end of summer.
