Harris has vowed she is ‘staying in the fight’ after loss, but whether she will run for office again is unclear.
Vice President Kamala Harris listens as first lady Jill Biden speaks at the Democratic National Committee’s Holiday Reception at Willard Hotel in Washington on Dec. 15.In recent weeks, President Joe Biden has ceded the spotlight to President-elect Donald Trump. But Biden has been a vivid public presence compared with Vice President Kamala Harris.
Nixon, of course, won the presidency eight years after his 1960 defeat to John F. Kennedy. But the track record for losing presidential nominees is not good. Since the 1890s, only Nixon and Trump have won the White House after losing a prior election. Ironically, seeking California’s governorship was how Nixon decided to revive his presidential possibilities after he narrowly lost the 1960 election. He lost in 1962 to Democratic Gov. Pat Brown, and angrily declared he was holding his last press conference. But he restored his national standing by helping the GOP rebound nationally after its 1964 defeat and, four years later, won the White House.
And unlike 2024, when she inherited the nomination more or less by default, Harris would confront a crowded landscape if she decided to run in 2028. The Democratic field is likely to include several prominent younger Democrats, such as Govs. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, J.B. Pritzker of Illinois and Wes Moore of Maryland, and Reps. Ro Khanna of California and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.
