Some California Democrats reportedly are uncertain about former Vice President Kamala Harris launching a governor bid in her hometown after losing President Donald Trump.
"I think she'll be fine. I mean, she's already governor, right?" Denise Robb, Democratic representative for Pasadena, told The Washington Post. "It's just that she lost the presidential election and she almost left- we didn't hear from her. We couldn't see her."
The Post and The New York Times reported on Sunday that not all activists and representatives within the party joined the former vice president, who served in California before serving as attorney general and U.S. senator. Harris gave a three-minute video speech at a gathering of thousands of California Democrats over the weekend, with other candidates for governor presenting.
"I don't think she should be on the governor's campaign," Mark Gracyk, a representative from San Diego, told the Times. "The working class would say, 'Oh, she's here again, she's got the support of the elite.'"

The former vice president has made a handful of public appearances since the loss of the 2024 election, including speeches criticizing Trump for his first 100 days of office in early May.
Amanda Day, a representative from Merced, told The Post that her support for Harris in the 2024 election does not mean she will choose to run for former vice president of the former governor. Day also noted that Harris' past as state attorney general may cause problems for her.
"I like her as a presidential candidate, but it's a different job," Day said. "Back to California is another story. She has history here."
Ayo Banjo, a representative from Santa Cruz, told The Times that she wanted to know where Harris is now.

"I want to know where her priorities are and where she is now," Banjoqin said. "I do support her and think she's great, but now I have more questions than answers."
Former Democratic Congressman Katie Porter, former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaragosa and former Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra are other Democrats who have bid to the governor of California.
Villaraigosa accused Harris and Becerra of both serving in the Biden administration, who covered up Biden's decline during his tenure and used the new book as "primitive crime" involving scandals.

"Now, we've learned about this cover-up, which includes two prominent California politicians who have served as California attorney general - one who is running for governor and another who is considering running for governor," he said in a statement.
Those who complicit in the cover-up should be held accountable for their role in this disaster, responsible for themselves, and apologize to the Americans. I call on Kamala Harris and Xavier Becerra to do this and make it available to voters and free media, as there are many questions to answer,” Villaraigosa continues.
