The Los Angeles Times turned to a political scientist at the University of Cincinnati to explain what the future might hold for former Vice President Kamala Harris after losing the presidential election last year to Donald Trump.
Harris made headlines this week after announcing she has no plans to run for governor of California.
UC Assistant Professor Gregory H. Winger said history suggest Harris might not be through with politics or public service.
"Even if it isn't the governorship of California, the idea of wanting something else other than the 2024 election to be the last thing Kamala Harris ever did would be very appealing," he told the L.A. Times.
Winger said his research has found that losers of elections often are more active publicly than winners in their post-White House years since their time in office ended on a sour note.
"It's kind of a frustrated ambition that then leads into higher activity," Winger said.
Winger teaches in UC's School of Public and International Affairs, where he studies cybersecurity and U.S. foreign policy, among other subjects. He is a Fulbright fellow in the Philippines.
