Kamala Harris Marks First Notable Outing After Vice Presidency at the 2025 Metropolitan Gala
Kamala Harris Steps Away from California Governor Race, Focuses on Future Political Moves
After a period of contemplation, Vice President Kamala Harris has announced that she will not be running for governor of California in the 2026 election [1][2][3]. This decision marks a shift in Harris's political trajectory, leaving open the possibility for future endeavours, such as a potential presidential run in 2028.
Harris's first major appearance since leaving office was at the 2025 Met Gala, where she made a stylish entrance in a custom Off-White gown, accessorized with Irene Neuwirth jewelry [4][5]. The creative director of Off-White, IB Kamara, commended Harris for her display of confidence and strength [6].
Harris's husband, Doug Emhoff, was also present at the Met Gala, where he wore a Brunello Cucinelli tuxedo [7].
In a speech at the Emerge 20th Anniversary Gala in San Francisco last week, Harris strongly condemned President Donald Trump's first 100 days in office, claiming that he had created the "greatest man-made economic crisis in modern presidential history" [8][9]. She also expressed concerns about the abandonment of America's highest ideals during her administration [10].
Despite stepping away from the California governor race, Harris stated that she remains committed to public service and fighting for American values [1]. She indicated that she looks forward to helping elect Democrats nationwide and sharing more details about her plans in the coming months [2].
