President Donald Trump gave some interesting advice to former Vice President Kamala Harris regarding a potential run for governor of California.
“One thing she’s gotta do, she’s gotta start doing interviews,” Trump said during a sit-down with OutKick’s Clay Travis aboard Air Force One. “You can’t get away with both of them. During COVID he did no interviews, and he got away with it because of COVID,” Trump added, referencing former President Joe Biden.
Harris is seriously considering a run for governor and is expected to decide by the end of summer, Fox News reported.
California Governor Gavin Newsom, who is often viewed as a potential presidential contender in 2028, is barred from seeking re-election in 2026 due to term limits. This paves the way for a likely competitive field of Democratic candidates vying for the state’s top office, which has a long-standing progressive reputation.
One former advisor to Harris stated that she would be a “great” fit for the job, highlighting her experience at both the national and state levels.
“On a national level, what Newsom has been able to do with that job, there is a lot of upside with what she can do as the governor of the fifth-largest economy with her name ID when our party is looking for national leadership and California looking for good governance – especially at a time when California is going through a lot,” the former advisor said.
However, Harris faces scrutiny over her presidential campaign and how she handled it, including allegations that she often avoided interviews, Fox noted further.
After Biden exited the race and quickly endorsed Harris, the vice president went 39 days without granting an interview, until she appeared in one alongside her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, on August 29. As critics claimed she was avoiding interviews, Harris increased her appearances with both national and local outlets. However, she soon faced accusations of evading tough questions.
One of the most damaging incidents was a reportedly planned interview with influential podcaster Joe Rogan that ultimately fell through. Rogan suggested that Harris’s team had imposed conditions on the questions he could ask.
In contrast, Trump did appear on Rogan’s podcast, an interview that eventually led the podcaster to endorse Trump’s White House bid.
