Kamala Harris, the current vice president of the United States, lost to Donald Trump in the American presidential election. Will she continue in politics or change direction? ? The Democrat has not yet made up her mind. “I acknowledge my defeat, but I am not giving up the fight,” assured Kamala Harris after her defeat against Donald Trump in the American presidential election. Donald Trump will not succeed Joe Biden until January 20, 2025, and the vice president will therefore ensure the end of his term until that date. But what will she do after ? The politician seems ready to continue to stand up for her ideas. “This is not the time to give up. This is the time to roll up your sleeves. This is the time to organize, mobilize and stay engaged in the fight for freedom and justice,” she said, according to comments quoted by BFM TV. Kamala Harris could run for governor in California, a state where she had a long career as a prosecutor. “Her name could be an option. But I don't know if she would want it. It would be seen as a step backward,” says Mark Buell, a San Francisco Democratic donor who worked on Kamala Harris's campaign team during her 2002 run for district attorney, quoted by Le Figaro. However, “one person told me he wouldn't fund his candidacy – “It would split the California party if she ran,” he qualifies. At the Times, San Francisco Republican political commentator Richie Greenberg suggests that Kamala Harris could become a spokesperson for the Democratic Party and thus “play a role within the national party.” However, for Gil Duran, a journalist based in San Francisco, quoted by Le Figaro, the defeat of the democratic candidate in the presidential election "seems to be the end of a political career, not the beginning. It's as if the game is over. It's tragic, for her and for the country". Kamala Harris' defeat by Donald Trump could stick to her skin. "She will carry her "failure as a ", anticipates Jean-Éric Branaa, lecturer at the University of Paris II and specialist in the ÉUnited States, interviewed by Le Parisien. A former lawyer, the Democratic candidate could also choose to abandon politics to return to her former profession. She could work in the private sector, join a think tank or write a book. Others suggest she could choose to teach or get involved in a cause that is close to her heart.
