They have a lot in common.<\/p>\n

Following her brutal election loss, former\u00a0Vice President Kamala Harris<\/a>\u00a0reportedly spoke with Hillary Clinton on multiple occasions as she mulls her future in the wake of\u00a0President Trump\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0return to the White House.<\/p>\n

Not much is known about the details of those discussions, but Harris had also consulted family members and friends while trying to figure out her future,\u00a0New York Magazine reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Clinton, 77, was the first woman to win the Democratic nomination for president, and she was also the first female to notch a popular vote victory.<\/p>\n

Harris, 60, was the first female vice president in US history and the second woman to serve as the Democrats\u2019 presidential standard bearer.<\/p>\n

But both were beaten by Trump, 78.<\/p>\n

Harris\u2019 sister Maya had served as a senior policy adviser to Clinton and also chaired Harris\u2019 unsuccessful 2020 presidential bid.<\/p>\n

Right after her loss, the 49th vice president publicly declared that she would \u201cstay in the fight,\u201d but she hasn\u2019t specified what that would entail.<\/p>\n

Harris also impressed upon her close confidants that she doesn\u2019t isn\u2019t prepared to make any plans that could shut the door to a possible 2028 presidential bid, according to New York Magazine.<\/p>\n

Some allies have speculated that she may throw her hat in the ring to serve as California governor in 2026 as incumbent Democratic Gov. Gavin Newson is term-limited.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a widespread belief that Harris\u2019 three main options are to either run for governor, run for president or refrain from seeking office again.<\/p>\n

The Senate, where Harris served before getting tapped as the veep, currently has both California slots filled.<\/p>\n

Recent public disclosures from Harris\u2019 2024 campaign reveal that she established an LLC named Pioneer49 in California, which is labeled after her Secret Service codename and her position as the 49th vice president.<\/p>\n

But if she does vie for office again, she will have to overcome the stench of her 2024 loss.<\/p>\n

Former President Richard Nixon had famously lost his 1962 bid for California governor after having been a VP-turned-unsuccessful presidential hopeful thanks to John F. Kennedy. Nixon, of course, went on to stage a comeback bid in 1968.<\/p>\n

Harris had been thrust to the top of the Democratic ticket in July when President Biden abruptly dropped out of the race, giving her 107 days until election day.<\/p>\n

Throwing some salt on her wounds, Biden, 82, later suggested that he could\u2019ve won if he stayed on as the Democrats\u2019 standard bearer.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s presumptuous to say that, but I think yes, based on the polling,\u201d\u00a0Biden told USAToday<\/a>\u00a0in an interview that was published earlier this month before he left office.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

To the chagrin of many Democratic strategists, Harris had refrained from badmouthing Biden on the campaign trail.<\/p>\n

The Post reached out to Harris\u2019 and Clinton\u2019s representatives for comment.<\/p>\n

Clinton had similarly grappled with what to do after losing the election but ultimately opted against seeking public office again. In 2023, she\u00a0landed a gig at Columbia University<\/a>\u00a0to serve as a professor of international and public affairs.<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
