Six months ago, Kamala Harris took a break from packing up the vice president’s residence to attend a quiet meeting on Capitol Hill with a group of Black congresswomen. She had advice for them on how to steel themselves for a second Trump administration.

Harris announced that she is publishing a book amid speculation she could run for the presidency again in 2028.

A Harris ally says “all options are on the table” but cautions against reading too much into the former vice president’s choice to skip the California governor race.
