A New York Times article on Thursday presented a surprising possible next move for former Vice President Kamala Harris—establishing a think tank for “policy and ideas.”
According to the report, “Brian Nelson, an adviser to Ms. Harris since she was California’s attorney general,” has proposed the idea of Harris “establishing an institute for policy and ideas” to “several universities, including Howard and Stanford.”
The Times’ postelection profile also discussed alternative paths for Harris, such as a second run for president in 2028 or a run for governor of California in 2026.
Harris was often mocked during the 2024 presidential election by supporters of President Donald Trump for what they characterized as incoherent “word salads.”
