Leave Kamala Harris alone, she’s in Hawaii!
The Vice President took off from Washington yesterday. Stopover in Los Angeles before landing on the island of Kauai where she is staying with her husband Doug Emhoff. On the agenda today: nothing. In any case, nothing official. It looks like a vacation.
Before Hawaii, his schedule in Washington was super light. His diary has been empty for several days. Briefings, meetings but without the press and no public events. In fact it seems that Kamala Harris is slowly taking the time to catch her breath and her spirits after the defeat, with her family.
In the only private photo of her that has been posted on Instagram since November 5, we see her in a big sweatshirt, sitting cross-legged on the floor playing Puissance 4 with her two little nieces. She laughs with what appears to be a glass of white next to her, a glass which has attracted a lot of attention from the anti-Harris people who were extremely shocked to see the Vice President playing with children and at the same time drinking alcohol… you don’t think about it! Further proof according to them of his incapacity to lead the country.
What’s next for her, at 60?
She can return home to California. The governor’s position becomes vacant in two years, but there are already a good half dozen Democratic candidates in the running, so it could be complicated. This is what Richard Nixon did in 19600. He was then Vice President, like Harris, he ran for president and he lost, like her. He then decided to become governor of California. There too it was a failure but in 1968: Nixon, the return! He is running for president again and this time, he wins! And who knows? Kamala Harris may want to try the White House adventure again in four years.
In the meantime, there remains the private sector – which she should avoid if the job of President remains on her mind. She can also choose a cause to defend. We remember Al Gore, in the same situation as her in 2000: he was vice president, he missed the presidential election and he launched into the defense of the environment with a Nobel Peace Prize to boot. Or, Kamala Harris releases a book… what Hillary Clinton did in 2017 after also losing to Trump. She was trying to understand. The title was simply: “What Happened”, “what happened”… Kamala Harris can take it again, in 2024 it still works.
