Kamala Harris, current vice president of the United States, lost to Donald Trump in the American presidential election. Will she continue in politics or change path? The Democrat has not yet spoken out.
“I recognize my defeat, but I am not giving up the fight,” assured Kamala Harris after her defeat against Donald Trump in the American presidential election. Donald Trump will not succeed Joe Biden until January 20, 2025, and the vice-president will therefore ensure the end of her mandate until that date. But what will she do next? The politician seems ready to continue defending her ideas. “This is not the time to give up. This is the time to roll up our sleeves. This is the time to organize, mobilize and stay committed to the fight for freedom and justice “, she said, according to comments cited by BFM TV.
Kamala Harris could run for governor in California, a state where she had a long career as a prosecutor. “Her name could be an option. But I don’t know if she would want it. It would be considered a step backwards,” says Mark Buell, a Democratic donor from San Francisco who worked on Kamala Harris’ team during her candidacy. to the prosecutor’s office in 2002, whose comments are quoted by Le Figaro. However, “one person told me that he would not finance her candidacy – it would divide the Californian party if she ran,” he adds.
The end of a political career?
At TimesSan Francisco Republican political commentator Richie Greenberg suggests that Kamala Harris could become a spokesperson for the Democratic Party and thus “play a role within the national party.” However, for Gil Duran, journalist based in San Francisco, cited by Le Figaro, the Democratic candidate’s defeat in the presidential election “seems to be the end of a political career, not the beginning. It’s as if the game is over. It’s tragic, for her and for the country.” Kamala Harris’ defeat against Donald Trump could stick with her. “She will carry her failure as a standard,” anticipates Jean-Éric Branaa, lecturer at Paris II University and specialist in the United States, interviewed by The Parisian.
A former lawyer, the Democratic candidate could also choose to abandon politics to return to her former profession. She could work in the private sector, join a think tank or even write a book. Others suggest that she could choose teaching or get involved in a cause that is close to her heart.
