Kamala Harris is making headlines again, this time for thinking about running to be California’s next governor. She says she’ll decide by the end of the summer. Many folks on the right are shaking their heads, remembering her time as vice president and how her far-left policies didn’t sit well with everyday Americans.
Conservatives point out that Harris has a history of pushing radical ideas, like open borders and big government programs. Her time in Washington was marked by failed leadership, especially during the border crisis. Now, she wants to take that same agenda to Sacramento. California already struggles with high taxes, crime, and homelessness. Republicans worry she’ll make those problems worse.
Democrats in California seem ready to fall in line if she runs. Big names like Rob Bonta and Katie Porter are stepping aside, afraid to challenge her. This kind of insider politics is exactly what frustrates voters. Conservatives argue that Harris represents the elite coastal liberals who’ve lost touch with hardworking Americans.
If Harris becomes governor, she’d control the fifth-largest economy in the world. That’s a scary thought for many. Her track record shows she’d likely push more regulations, higher taxes, and woke policies that hurt small businesses. California’s middle class is already fleeing the state. A Harris governorship could speed up that exodus.
Some liberals claim Harris would bring “historic change” as the first Black woman governor. But conservatives say identity politics won’t fix California’s real problems. What the state needs is common-sense solutions, not more divisive rhetoric. Harris’s focus on race and gender only deepens the divides in our country.
Harris hasn’t been seen much since losing the 2024 election. Her recent appearances at events like the NAACP Awards felt like a comeback tour. Critics say she’s more interested in fame than fixing issues. Her sudden interest in California politics looks like a desperate grab for power after failing on the national stage.
Even some Democrats admit a governor’s race could be messy. California’s top-two primary system means Republicans might have a shot if the vote splits. But Harris’s team seems confident she can clear the field. Conservatives argue this arrogance shows how out of touch she is with regular voters.
In the end, Harris’s possible run highlights everything wrong with today’s Democratic Party. Instead of listening to voters, they push radical agendas and career politicians. California deserves better than another leftist leader who puts ideology over results. The real question is whether everyday Californians will wake up and reject her vision for the state.
