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.”
A guy who cherry picked his population data so it seems to support his hypothesis wants to pretend he’s using stats? thats very cute.
My claim was that Democrats aren’t consistent losers, and it’s ridiculous to treat them as such because of the result of the last election. Your counterexample fails to dispute that. 5 wins out of 9 or 11 losses out of 19 are not differentiable from a coin toss. Same with 1 loss out of 1, 1 loss out of 2, 2 losses out of 3, 2 of 4, 2 of 5, 3 of 6, 4 of 7, 4 of 8, 4 of 9, 5 of 10, 6 of 11, or even 7 of 12 (going back to first Reagan win).
Unless, of course, you discount some or all of the wins post hoc with silly excuses.
My point regarding stats: If you flip a coin 19 times and you get 8 heads, there is a 16 point spread between the frequency of heads and tails. Should we conclude the coin is unevenly weighted?
And there you go again equating coin flips to elections. They are not even close to the same thing.
Its not even apples and oranges, its apples and horses. Time to use the old block button-- it has not been a pleasure.
A coin flip is an analogy for both sides having equal probabilities of winning. The original comment argued Democrats were consistent losers in Presidential elections. If their win rate could easily be accomplished by coin tosses, that’s obviously not true.
You weren’t reading what I was writing all along, so the block doesn’t really make a difference.
