You’ve got to hand it to Kamala Harris. The woman who couldn’t handle being vice president just made a calculated move that should worry every conservative in America. She’s not running for California governor—but that’s not the real story here.

This week, Harris finally ended months of speculation about running for California governor. “After deep reflection, I’ve decided that I will not run for Governor in this election,” Harris announced. Notice that last part? “In this election.” Not “ever.” Just not now.

From The Post Millennial:

Former Vice President Kamala Harris has officially ruled out a run for California governor after “serious thought”, ending months of speculation about a possible candidacy.

“In recent months, I have given serious thought to asking the people of California for the privilege to serve as their Governor,” Harris announced in a statement. “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.”

Let me translate her political doublespeak for you. When Harris says she’ll continue “public service” outside elected office, she means she’s going on a rehabilitation tour. When she talks about “helping elect Democrats across the nation,” she’s building her campaign network.

And that line about sharing “more details in the months ahead about my own plans”? Come on. We all know what that means. She’s waiting for the right moment to announce her 2028 presidential campaign.

The most telling part? She specifically mentioned that “power must lie with the people” and promised to “remain in that fight.” That’s not governor talk. That’s presidential campaign language. I’ve covered politics long enough to recognize the setup when I see it.

Are we really doing this again? The woman who failed spectacularly as vice president thinks she deserves another shot at the White House? Let’s review her greatest hits, shall we?

She couldn’t handle the border crisis. Remember when Biden put her in charge of that? Millions of illegal crossings later, we’re still waiting for her to actually visit the border. Her excuse? She hadn’t been to Europe either. Real leadership material there.

Her staff fled like rats from a sinking ship. The turnover in her office was legendary. Good people couldn’t work for her because she was reportedly a nightmare boss. If you can’t manage an office, how can you manage a country?

And those speeches? My goodness, those speeches. Every time she opened her mouth, it was word salad city. “We must together work together to see where we are going together.” Actual quote. I wish I was making that up.

Here’s what kills me: Democrats know she’s terrible. They watched her flame out in 2020 before a single primary vote was cast. They cringed through four years of her embarrassing America as VP. And yet, they’ll probably let her run again.

Why? Because the Democratic bench is that thin. They’ve got nobody else with her name recognition who checks their identity politics boxes. So they’ll hold their noses and pretend she’s competent while the media runs cover for her.

Think about what skipping the governor’s race really means. She knows she’d lose in California—her home state! If you can’t win where people know you best, what makes you think you can win nationally? But that won’t stop her from trying.

The scariest part? She’s already building her narrative. Watch for her to start showing up everywhere, giving speeches about “fighting for democracy” and “protecting our values.” It’s all campaign prep. Every appearance, every tweet, every carefully staged photo op—it’s all about 2028.

California dodged a bullet when she decided not to run for governor. But America? We might not be so lucky. The woman who couldn’t answer basic questions about inflation, who laughed inappropriately at serious moments, who made Joe Biden look articulate—she actually thinks she deserves to be president.

God help us all if Democrats are desperate enough to nominate her again. Because “deep reflection” clearly didn’t include reflecting on why Americans rejected her the first time.

• Harris won’t run for California governor but pointedly refused to rule out 2028 presidential bid
• Her statement about future “public service” signals she’s planning a political comeback tour
• Democrats may be desperate enough to nominate her again despite her catastrophic VP tenure
• Skipping the governor race shows she knows she can’t even win in her home state
