But another run for president in 2028 after a slim but dramatic loss to Trump? Still uncertain. It seems like she is edging away from running for president, step by step, said Dan Schnur, who teaches political communications at UC Berkeley and USC. This type of positioning looks more like playing for history instead."
"Harris' most ardent supporters, who have stood by her since her first, short-lived run for president in 2019, feel otherwise, believing the candor and honesty she displays in her book, titled 107 Days, show what true leadership should look like. It's just a message of someone who wants to tell the truth and be honest about her feelings, said Derreck Johnson of Oakland, a longtime personal friend who has volunteered with her campaigns."
Kamala Harris lost a 107-day campaign against Donald Trump and has declined to run next year for California governor. Uncertainty remains about a possible 2028 presidential bid as observers view her as edging away from another campaign while supporters praise her candor and honesty.

In retrospect she called leaving that choice to one individual recklessness given the stakes.
