First of all, to start with certainties, Kamala Harris will prepare with Joe Biden the transition of power between the latter and Donald Trump. Indeed, the Republican will not succeed the current president until January 20, 2025. During a telephone call to Trump, during which she congratulated him on his electoral victory, Kamala Harris told him that she would help them , “him and his team”, in the transition. “We will engage in a peaceful transfer of power,” she also told her Republican rival.
When he thanked Kamala Harris in a statement Wednesday, praising her integrity, courage and temperament, Joe Biden said his vice president would “continue to be a leader our children will admire for generations, while she will leave its mark on the future of America. But this does not say precisely what Kamala Harris will do after January 20, 2025. She herself has not announced anything official.
Here are the reasons that explain the bitter failure of the Democrats and Kamala Harris
Will Kamala Harris stay in politics or change careers?
According to the Associated Press, the Democrat’s campaign chair, Jen O’Malley Dillon, sent a message to her team in which she wrote: “The work of protecting America from the impacts of a presidency Trump starts now. I know that the vice-president is not finished with this fight and I know that the people who receive this email will also be leaders of this collective mission. We could deduce from this way of motivating the troops despite the defeat that Kamala Harris is banking on a political future within the Democratic Party. A former colleague of the defeated candidate, Gil Duran, told the Times that “she could play a role within the party”, such as that of spokesperson for example. But he judges that there is no ” viable path in politics as an elected official” for his former colleague. Her defeat “seems to me to be the end of a political career and not the beginning”, he added.

A pessimistic vision shared by Times journalist Richie Greenberg, a specialist in American politics. He also thinks that voters are not ready to remobilize for Kamala Harris, if she decides to run for another office, such as that of governor in California. “I don’t know if people are ready to give money again” to finance her possible candidacy, declared our colleague, “It would divide the Californian party if she ran”.
San Francisco District Attorney for 7 years (2004 to 2011) then Attorney General of California for approximately the same period of time (2011-2017), Kamala Harris is a lawyer by training. She could therefore, at age 60, rededicate herself to her initial profession and return to law.
