CA-GOV:

I doubt Richard Grenell would win the general election if Kamala Harris ends up running in the CA-GOV race.

However, I would prefer if Harris does not run. We need a fresher face, especially considering three of the leading Democratic candidates are women and the fact that California has never had a woman as Governor before.

One of President Donald Trump’s top aides said Friday that if former Vice President Kamala Harris enters the race for California governor, he might too.

“If Kamala Harris runs for governor, I believe that she has such baggage and hundreds of millions of dollars in educating the voters of how terrible she is, that it’s a new day in California, and that the Republican actually has a shot, and I wouldn’t say no,” Richard Grenell told reporters Friday in Munich.

Grenell is a longtime Trump loyalist who has served as a jack-of-all-trades for the president. As Trump’s U.S. envoy for special missions, Grenell joined Trump in Los Angeles to survey the wildfire damage, traveled to Venezuela for a meeting with President Nicolás Maduro that led to the release of six hostages and was named the Kennedy Center’s interim executive director after Trump purged its old board. During Trump’s first term, Grenell served as ambassador to Germany and briefly as acting director of national intelligence.

He laid the groundwork for a gubernatorial run in California in 2021 but announced on Fox News he would not run a day before the candidate filing deadline.
