Does Kamala Harris really still want to be president?

From today you can buy/order my new spy paperback thriller, Agent Redruth - easiest way is to order from Amazon. Six authors have endorsed it as a fantastic, gripping read. So does Kamala Harris actually think she can win the presidency in 2028? She has decided not to run for the governorship of California despite hinting at it for months. So the only conclusion one can make is that she fancies her chances for the job at the White House. She missed out badly when she tried in 2024, losing to the heavyweight Donald Trump. Could she revive her chances by going for the Democratic nomination, with Trump no longer allowed to stand again (we will see!). I think she has a lot of talent and could make a good president but she simply failed to convince the American voters that she has what it takes to be president when she tried the first time. Obviously, she had everything against her in 2024. She had just three months to persuade the voters that she was the natural replacement for Joe Biden and with Trump having already been on the campaign for over a year, she needed to make a huge impact very quickly. She didn't do that. Trump's presence was overwhelming and she got shunted to one side. The only chance she has now, if she decides to vote for her just to get some rest and relief. But somehow I doubt that will happen. Trump's popularity rating is pretty low at the moment but no one can doubt that this big man has managed to dominate the globe one way or another, and someone like Kamala Harris is never going to do that. She might be wise to step back and let someone else take on the Democratic baton.
