Kamala Harris: Life and Actions After Losing to Donald Trump

Since her loss to Donald Trump in the recent presidential election, Kamala Harris has maintained a visible presence on the political scene, engaging with supporters and addressing key national issues as speculation grows about her future role within the Democratic Party.

A Flurry of Political Activity Reignites Interest

After a period of near-silence following her loss in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Kamala Harris has re-emerged in the political spotlight. Over the course of just one week, two significant announcements have thrown her future back into focus, triggering a fresh wave of speculation across the American political scene.

A Candid Book to Shed Light on an Unprecedented Race

Central to this renewed attention is the upcoming publication of 107 Days, a memoir in which Kamala Harris pulls back the curtain on what she calls « the shortest modern presidential campaign in history ». In a video shared online, she reflects: « A little over a year ago, I launched my campaign to become President of the United States; 107 days traveling across the country, fighting for our future ». The book, set for release on September 23rd by Simon & Schuster, is described as both « sincere and introspective », providing insight into a race that began only after President Joe Biden, then aged 81, withdrew due to health concerns.

Future Ambitions: Careful Signals and Unanswered Questions

While speculation swirls about her next steps, Harris has taken care to quash one rumor: she will not seek the governorship of California in 2026. Still, her intentions regarding another potential run for the White House in 2028 remain unclear. In her recent video address, she observed that « a simple truth became clear: sometimes, the fight takes time », a remark widely interpreted as leaving doors open. Observers are left parsing every word for clues about her long-term plans.

For those following developments within the Democratic camp, several points stand out:

The Democratic Party’s Ongoing Realignment

Elsewhere in Democratic circles, movement has been just as notable. On Thursday evening, Kamala Harris made an appearance on the « Late Show » hosted by Stephen Colbert. Interestingly, this program—known for its sharp critiques of Donald Trump—is soon to be canceled by CBS, officially due to economic pressures.

Meanwhile, another prominent voice from the last Democratic administration is stepping forward. Former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, now preparing to publish her own memoir titled « Indépendante », announced she is distancing herself from her party. She contends it had « betrayed her former boss Joe Biden », further fueling debates about fractures within party leadership.

In short, behind each public move and personal reflection lies an undercurrent of uncertainty—and perhaps opportunity—as these Democratic figures chart their paths through a shifting political landscape.
