Los Angeles, July 2025 \u2014 Vice President Kamala Harris is once again at the center of speculation over her political future, following striking comments made by her longtime political mentor \u2014 and former romantic partner \u2014 Willie Brown, the ex-mayor of San Francisco.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For Harris \u2014 who has served as a district attorney, attorney general of California, U.S. senator, and vice president \u2014 the comments land as both a personal and political jolt. Coming from someone who has been both a mentor and, decades ago, a romantic partner, Brown\u2019s remarks carry more weight than the average pundit\u2019s speculation.<\/p>\n

A Mentor\u2019s Perspective<\/p>\n

Slavet, recounting his discussion with Brown during an appearance on Los Angeles anchor Elex Michaelson\u2019s program, described the elder statesman as still sharp and candid at his advanced age.\u201cFirst of all, kudos to Willie \u2014 age 91, still going strong, still sharp. I mean, I think that\u2019s amazing,\u201d Slavet said. \u201cHe, in effect, said he doesn\u2019t think governor is a fit for her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brown, now 91, remains an influential voice in California Democratic politics despite having left public office more than two decades ago. In a recent interview with podcaster Jon Slavet, the former mayor offered a blunt assessment of Harris\u2019s career trajectory, suggesting that her next move might not include a run for governor \u2014 and perhaps should not.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a clip from the interview that has circulated widely, Brown did not mince words about Harris\u2019s potential future in California politics.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe may not want to run for governor of the state of California. That may not be where she should be going,\u201d Brown told Slavet. \u201cI think it\u2019s going to be difficult for her to win that job.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
