New in PJ Media:
California Democrat apparatchiks are approaching the looming prospect of a Kamala Harris gubernatorial run with all the enthusiasm of a CNN reporter at a Trump rally. No one is even pretending anymore that Harris is the strong, heroic, and resolute figure depicted on the cover of Time Magazine in Aug. 2024, much less that she is the future of the Democratic Party, as New York magazine claimed around the same time. She led the Democrats to defeat, and now, she tries to resurrect her political career with a run for California governor, “no one,” says a Democrat fundraiser, “is incredibly pumped.” No kidding, really?
Politico reported Friday that Harris is “ramping up her outreach to longtime supporters as she weighs a run for California governor. But many Democratic donors aren’t enthusiastic, still hobbled by the hangover of her presidential loss.” And so as the former It Girl struggles to regain the limelight, frantically conducting “thank you visits, catch-up calls and listening sessions, touching base with her most trusted supporters as she weighs her options,” she is encountering a decided lack of enthusiasm for more word salad and the usual mix of far-left identity politics, statism, and resentment that she has to offer.
Some leading Democrat donors even told Politico that they were actually afraid of a Harris reemergence, as her return to the fray would “re-open still-fresh wounds from her defeat in 2024.” Leftist fundraiser Mather Martin observed: “There was more enthusiasm at first. I think it waned a bit.” A bit? That’s akin to Bob Uecker in “Major League” seeing a pitch fly wildly off course and telling his listeners that it was “juuuuust a bit outside.”
Another Democrat donor said that Kamala was just a reminder of how much trouble the party of delusion, authoritarianism, and confiscation is really in: “Kamala just reminds you we are in this complete s**t storm. With Biden, we got bamboozled … I think she did the best she could in that situation, but obviously she knew about the cognitive decline too.” This donor added: “I’ve written so many checks because I knew the Trump administration would be horrible, but we’re living in a nightmare because of the Democrats. I’m furious at them, truly.” And this individual is almost certainly not the only one.
And so as Harris prepares to run for California governor, one fundraiser explained that donors to the far-left “realize it’s just going to bring up the whole pathetic last presidential, which no one wants to hear about again. And then it’s the whole ‘Did you know Joe Biden?’ thing. She still would probably lead, but honestly, no one is incredibly pumped.” And really, why should they be?
There is more. Read the rest here.

Harris for governor, makes Newsom look like Einstein, lol
California would vote for her, stupid is as stupid does.
Huh?!? says
+1. Unfortunately, that is the case. The majority of California voters seem to be the walking dead.

A bit off topic but I have to point out that Harris was quite like Einstein in that she garnered her position as a fraud. Like Einstein, Harris created nothing of note and stole credit where credit wasn’t due. Just like to point out that Einstein created NOTHING and like Harris, established nothing of worthy note. Like Harris’ speeches Einstein’s “Special” and “General” Relativity theories were nothing but mathematical gibberish (his special relativity :math” involved division by zero).
I would say that Kamala and Newsom look appear very much like Einstein: slick Fraudsters.

Unlike previously, Kamala ain’t scaring off anyone from running against her. Already, Xavier Becarra has thrown his hat into the ring, and it’s possible that other big names in the California Democrats – Antonio Villaigarosa, Eric Garcetti & others may run. If that happens, Kamala will do like she did in the 2020 primaries, when she blew all her cash in Iowa but dropped out before those caucuses. I’d expect a lot of Dem candidates to beat her in the primaries, since it’s now open and she’s no longer shielded by the Dem establishment
Like NYC last week, this too has ranked choice voting, but it’s worse, being in an open primary. Hopefully, the California republicans all rally behind Steve Hilton, as he does his painstaking campaign to wrest back the government. Hopefully, next year, California can finally elect a Republican, who doesn’t let down the state like Arnold did due to who he’s sleeping w/

Ah yes, all that recall energy wasted on Arnold Schwarzenkennedy.

KAMALA is an embarrassment to the law school she graduated from, my three year old can put a sentence together that makes more sense than she can. She is a DEI political hire. Kamala has rode the women of color wagon to the end of the road.
