California is like the rest of the country in at least one way.
When it comes to picking a new president and governor, they want somebody new.
In a new Emerson College Polling/Inside California Politics/The Hill survey out Thursday, more Californians than not said that they don’t want former Vice President Kamala Harris to run for governor next year.
It was close, though, with 50.4% responding “No” and 49.6% saying “Yes.”
Oof.

Name recognition has propelled Harris to the top in that race, at 31%, but she is losing to “undecided” at a whopping 39%. Harris is a former California senator, and she lost the 2024 election to President Donald Trump.
TRUMP SHOWS ‘DURABILITY’ THAT WAS MISSING IN FIRST TERM
Californians also aren’t high on electing the current Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom president in 2028.
Emerson found that 58.7% do not want the liberal to run versus 41.3% who do.
