Politico reported Monday that Kamala has been telling her advisers to keep her options open and that she'll be plotting her next move over the holidays. She's reportedly open to running for president in 2028 or even running for governor of California in 2026, saying on phone calls, and I'm quoting, I'm staying in the fight.
