To the editor: I’m sorry former Vice President Kamala Harris determined to not run for governor of California (“Kamala Harris says she will not be operating for California governor,” July 30). She is the one Democrat who has the whole package deal to guard California’s future. Harris has the character; the state, native and nationwide political expertise; and the required expertise, experience and management to combat President Trump and the techniques he’s making an attempt to make use of to get California to bend the knee.
Harris is a statesman revered by leaders around the globe, the place character, belief, integrity, fact and dedication matter. And in her presidential bid to steer the nation, she had a strong home agenda that Trump dismissed with lies about his personal talents.
California wants “Gov. Harris,” a governor who would learn about our struggles with the homelessness disaster, excessive home-buying prices, excessive prices of residing and learn how to defend our financial system and other people from being attacked by the Trump administration. Hopefully, Harris will rethink her choice to not run for governor and acknowledge her management is important right here.

To the editor: Harris has nothing to show to anybody. Her report speaks for itself. She served California with distinction as lawyer normal and senator. Her service as vice chairman of the USA has solely amplified that influence on a nationwide and world scale.
Hypothesis or political noise, the reality is obvious: She’s already made historical past and extra importantly, she’s made a distinction. She ran an inspiring marketing campaign for president and the plenty at the moment are realizing the form of management we missed. No matter her subsequent steps could also be, her voice, expertise and advocacy are wanted and appreciated.

To the editor: It was mildly shocking to notice that Harris is not going to search the California governor’s seat. One would have thought she would see it as a stepping stone to the presidency. However on the entrance web page of the California part, the obvious cause involves mild with a narrative about how a 2026 governorship would intervene with the timeline for the following presidential nomination cycle (“By scrapping bid for California governor, Harris boosts White Home prospects — if she runs,” July 30).
Columnist Mark Z. Barabak posits that she wouldn’t need to enter the presidential cycle as a sitting governor if she received. Actually? As Barabak factors out, different governors have.
The Democrats could be insane to even contemplate her for his or her nomination after the outcomes of the 2024 election. However don’t underestimate them.

To the editor: Two phrases for Harris concerning her choice to run for president: please don’t (“Run for president? Begin a podcast? Sort out AI? Kamala Harris’ choices are large open,” July 31). We want new management, somebody who can display understanding and empathy for each events in addition to providing options that meet a greater variety of wants. A response to the present administration will not be what’s wanted. A brand new imaginative and prescient that features each events is.
