Kamala Harris Wants to Launch ‘an Institute for Policy and Ideas’

Failed Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Kamala Harris jokes with friends “that she is unemployed for the first time.”

Will Harris run for California governor in 2026? Will she run for president in 2028?

I’m guessing Harris’s mind is more focused on the presidency, even though she has a better chance of winning the Commiefornia governor race.

But Harris obviously needs to stay in the news to keep her aspirations alive.

The New York Times did just that:

Ms. Harris, who jokes to friends that she is unemployed for the first time, has explored options beyond pursuing electoral office, too. She hired the Creative Artists Agency to gauge interest in speaking engagements and a potential book. An aide has held preliminary talks with universities about establishing a policy institute, though some warned that could complicate her political aspirations.

Yes, a policy institute, because Harris does so well with policies:

One possibility: establishing an institute for policy and ideas. Brian Nelson, an adviser to Ms. Harris since she was California’s attorney general, has broached the idea with several universities, including Howard and Stanford. But some allies have noted that raising money for such a center could, depending on the donors, create liabilities in future races. For the same reason, Ms. Harris has been choosy about paid speaking engagements, one of which is drawing her all the way to Australia later this month.

(Yes, I know I’m writing about her, too. But we all need a good laugh!)

Abortion is the only time Harris can put together a coherent policy.

Everything else comes out in word salads. We all know Harris embraces far-left ideas, but she cannot explain her positions except for the murder of unborn human beings.

Let’s not forget when Harris described culture in July 2023:

HARRIS: “Well, I think culture is — it is a reflection of our moment in our time, right? And — and present culture is the way we express how we’re feeling about the moment. And — and we should always find times to express how we feel about the moment that is a reflection of joy, because every — you know, it comes in the morning. (Laughs) We have to find ways to also express the way we feel about the moment in terms of just having language and a connection to how people are experiencing life. And I think about it in that way, too.”

The whole thing made everyone laugh.

Then there’s the word salad about Israel during the infamous 60 Minutes interview:

WHITAKER: But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening.

HARRIS: Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.

Now I want a salad.

Either way, Harris has made it known she won’t go away quietly, even though it seems Democrats don’t want anything to do with her.

Look at the Wisconsin Supreme Court race:

In a rare move, she spoke by Zoom on the eve of the April 1 Wisconsin Supreme Court election to about 100 Democratic workers and organizers in the state, praising their efforts on her campaign and ahead of the judicial contest.

“I know you all will never give up, and that we’re going to continue to wage this fight — in the voting booth and in the courts and in the public square,” Ms. Harris said, according to a participant on the call.

Tellingly, however, Ms. Harris’s offer to visit Wisconsin was rejected as a potential distraction during early voting, according to people briefed on the discussions. And even the Zoom call was kept private until after the polls closed, at the request of Wisconsin Democrats, who feared that reports of her involvement would divert attention from Elon Musk, the overriding target of the Democratic campaign.

Yikes! I find it hilarious because her vice president pick, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, has been on podcasts and shows up at town halls across the country.

I bet Harris runs for California governor in 2026.
