Former Vice President Kamala Harris said Wednesday she will not run for governor of California, ending months of speculation over whether she would enter the 2026 race.
What Happened: "In recent months, I have given serious thought to asking the people of California for the privilege to serve as their Governor," Harris said in a statement first reported by Politico. "I love this state, its people, and its promise. It is my home. But after deep reflection, I've decided that I will not run for Governor in this election."
