Reports suggest that she may be preparing for\u200b a political comeback, contemplating a run for governor of California in 2026 or potentially seeking the Democratic nomination for president in 2028. During this holiday season, she plans to strategize her next steps and will also publicly address her \u200bposition \u200cwithin the Democratic Party, especially in \u200clight of her defeat. Although she has not confirmed attendance at Trump&#8217;s inauguration, it is customary for outgoing officials to participate \u2063in such events. Harris, who has a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">strong political history<\/a> in \u2062California, remains a significant figure in the Democratic landscape for future elections.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Harris hints her Hawaii vacation was preparation for political comeback<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1887962\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Kamala Harris\">Kamala Harris<\/a> has spent much of the past week in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3235554\/kamala-harris-escapes-hawaii-democrats-reel-2024-losses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Hawaii\">Hawaii<\/a> after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3210669\/donald-trump-wins-2024-election-defeating-kamala-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Hawaii\">losing<\/a> the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/corporations-silent-on-why-they-pulled-funding-from-republicans-who-questioned-an-election-but-not-democrats-who-did-the-same\/\" title=\"Corporations Silent On Why They Pulled Funding From Republicans Who Questioned An Election, But Not Democrats Who Did The Same\">presidential election earlier<\/a> this month and is possibly laying the groundwork for a political comeback.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Harris has told allies and friends that she is &ldquo;staying in the fight&rdquo; and is keeping open the possibility of running for governor of California in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2026-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"2026\">2026<\/a> or president in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2028-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"2028\">2028<\/a>, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/11\/25\/kamala-harris-advisers-options-open-00191393\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"report\">report<\/a> from <em>Politico<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/5-washed-up-leftists-who-found-homes-in-academia\/\" title=\"5 Washed Up Leftists Who Found Homes In Academia\">outgoing vice president<\/a> is set to use the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season to decide on her next steps, beginning with her escape from Washington, D.C., to the Aloha State this past week.
