She didn’t say whether she could run, but some of the Democrats thought she could. Some also said she may run for California governor in 2026.
Supporters say she had a better campaign than Joe Biden before she dropped out of school in 2024. They believe that despite being confused due to Biden’s poor health, she has helped bridge the gap with Trump.
