Kamala Harris has been lying low since her defeat in the presidential race, unwinding with family and senior aides in Hawaii before heading back to the nation’s capital.

But privately, the vice president has been instructing advisers and allies to keep her options open — whether for a possible 2028 presidential run, or even to run for governor in her home state of California in two years. As Harris has repeated in phone calls, “I am staying in the fight.”

She is expected to explore those and other possible paths forward with family members over the winter holiday season, according to five people in the Harris inner circle, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal dynamics. Her deliberations follow an extraordinary four months in which Harris went from President Joe Biden’s running mate to the top of the ticket, reenergizing Democrats before ultimately crashing on election night.

“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”

I could be wrong but I think she's done for good. She didn't do a good enough job obviously, and advisers helped her to fail.

Jesus could have run against trump, healing the sick and forgiving loans left and right, and still the misinformationskiy would have overpowered him.

More than half of Americans are not literate enough to read medicine warning labels.

Its not Harris who failed the people. The problem started a decade ago.

Secede already.

Yup. As many failures as Harris has had, it doesn't come close to the amount of insanity it takes to justify a vote for Trump. Around half of the American voters have failed America and to me, there's no one else to blame.

to be fair what the fuck is an antihistamine containing hydroxyzine

what the fuck is an antihistamine

Anti-allergy drug

Hydroxyzine

Histamine H1 Inhibitor, but what it does is a lot like an anesthetic

So it's an anti-allergy medication that also gives immediate relief from allergy symptoms

I'd hope most people who passed high school science could answer what an antihistamine is, and be able to google hydroxyzine, but yeah no I shouldn't
