According to an analysis by The New York Times, after losing the election, Vice President Kamala Harris has several possible options for her future career. Here are six scenarios that could determine her future:
- Re-entering the 2028 election
Harris may decide to return to the political race for the presidency in 2028, using a wide donor network, although her chances depend on the situation in the Democratic Party and Trump’s popularity after his second term. - Candidacy for a lower office
A possible option is to run for a lower office, such as governor of California. But this may involve competition with political allies, and Harris may not want to get involved in intra-party conflicts. - Moving to the private sector
Kamala Harris may choose to pursue a career in the corporate sector by joining a law firm or lobbying group. However, she will likely avoid direct ties to the corporate world if she plans to return to politics. - Advocacy or work in a think tank
Harris could work in advocacy or research at a think tank, focusing on the issues that are most close to her heart. She could also set up her own organisation to work on issues that interest her. - Writing a book
A successful and popular way for politicians to recover from a loss is to write a book. Harris could talk about her experiences working for Biden’s team and campaigning against Trump. This would be interesting for the public, especially if she speaks frankly. - Rest.
Kamala Harris may also take a break from her intense political career, as many of her predecessors have done. Plans to spend more time at home and relaxing may help her recover from a busy campaign.
Although the exact plans for the vice president after the election are yet to be determined, Harris has many options that will allow her to make the best use of her political experience and popularity.
