In recent weeks, President Joe Biden has ceded the spotlight to President-elect Donald Trump. But Biden has been a vivid public presence compared with Vice President Kamala Harris.
Two weeks later, she will become a private citizen for the first time since becoming San Francisco's district attorney 24 years ago, soon to confront the decision facing every defeated candidate: Should I try again?
Since the 1890s, only Nixon and Trump have won the White House after losing a prior election. Besides those two, only Democrats Adlai Stevenson and William Jennings Bryan and Republican Thomas Dewey were even renominated after they lost the presidency.
A poll taken right before Harris lost the presidency showed she would have strong support if she sought the post, especially among her fellow Democrats.
