Being that the actual primary election won't be held until June 2, 2026, it's still way too early to see where the CA-GOV race is going.
If Harris is going to run in the race, she has plenty of time by which to do so. She could join as a candidate in September and will still have time to mount an effective campaign. Having roughly nine months until the primary race is a much different beast and would be by contrast less pressure for Harris than the presidential race.
I will say this - Although I am not necessarily a fan of Harris running in the CA-GOV race, I'd prefer her over Newsom. On the one hand, her handling of the Teamsters USA's decision to decline to endorse a presidential candidate in 2024 makes me wonder if she will be enough of a uniter with unions. On the other hand, Harris may have been under increased pressure with a presidential campaign only three months until the actual election.
