She had not been seen – so closely – since her defeat. There she is again, her hair a little disheveled. Less laughter and joy (one of his campaign slogans). Kamala Harris had disappeared since her speech on November 6, in front of her supporters gathered in Washington, where she admitted Trump's victory and returned to her final commitments as vice-president, a position she will occupy until January 20. Kamala Harris has been almost silent until now. Minimum service. A little post-depression trip to Hawaii with her husband Doug in a $2,500-a-night residence, just to forget her electoral debacle… We saw her getting off Air Force 2 – the name given to the plane granted to the vice-president – from afar, her hair in a bun.

Yesterday, during an online conversation with her ex-running mate Tim Walz, Kamala Harris addressed her supporters and in particular her donors… The former Democratic candidate, who spent the crazy sum of 1.5 billion dollars for a campaign lasting only three months, is short of liquidity. A $20 million hole needs to be filled. And some donors who had promised to put their hands in their pockets have forgotten to keep their commitments.
Kamala Harris, still between two bursts of laughter, waxed lyrical about her “fight for the dignity of all people, which did not end on November 5, a fight for the future, a future in which all people will receive the promise of America”. Renewing her aspirations of November 6, she asked « supporters to never let anyone or any circumstance take away your power. Listen, this mission that we have, it takes a lot of work”.
Physical metamorphosis
To talk about money (without really talking about it… an old Democratic habit), Kamala Harris used metaphors, each more burlesque than the last, never fearing repetition: “We are all in this together. And on the eve of Thanksgiving, I wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving (sic) and the ability to find the ability (fringe)in this moment, to remember that there are so many things to be grateful for…”
The appearance, in front of a gray curtain, and a star-spangled banner which itself looked tired, of Kamala Harris caused hilarity among Internet users, some evoking the post-defeat physical metamorphosis of the candidate compared to the attitude a new member of Alcoholics Anonymous would have when introducing themselves in public.

Kamala Harris, who is said to be interested in the post of governor of California if Gavin Newsom were to be the Democratic candidate in 2028, has not announced her political intentions.
