Kamala Harris' Ex-Boyfriend Willie Brown Urges Her to Not to Run for California Governor

Kamala Harris’s ex-boyfriend, heavyweight California politico and former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, has publicly urged the former vice president to reconsider running for the state’s top job.

As she pokes around for her next job, Brown believes Harris should not launch a gubernatorial campaign.

Brown argues that Harris is not the right “fit” for California governor.

The high-profile California Democrat dismissed Harris’s rumored ambitions to run for governor during a new interview.

During an appearance on the State of Gold podcast, Brown said:

“I do think people running for public office really ought to fit eventually where they are trying to land at.

“And I really do hope, frankly, that [Harris] comes to that reality.”

Recent polls suggest that Harris would be the frontrunner to replace term-limited Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom if she decided to run.

But many Democrats are reluctant for Harris to stay in the spotlight after her humiliating loss to President Donald Trump last fall.

Shockingly, the party’s official election autopsy will reportedly overlook mistakes made by Harris and her former boss, Joe Biden.

Biden endorsed Harris after suspending his own re-election campaign.

Harris has apparently downsized her ambitions.

Politico is reporting that she plans to decide by the end of the summer on running for governor of her home state.

Snubbing his former lover, Brown said there are other Democrats who would do better in an executive role like governor.

He suggested Harris go for a legal job like attorney general or even Supreme Court justice.

“There’s just so many really talented people thinking about that job,” Brown said.

“She may not want to run for governor of the state of California,” he said.

“That may not be where she should be going.

“I think it’s going to be difficult for her to win that job.”

WATCH:

Brown infamously dated Harris briefly in the 1990s when she was an up-and-coming prosecutor in Alameda County.

At the time, he was the speaker of the California State Assembly.

Brown used his influence at the time to appoint his much younger then-girlfriend to two California state boards.

The relationship gave Harris a massive career boost, and she has never been able to live down accusations of nepotism since then.

Harris has been in career limbo since her much-hyped presidential campaign imploded in the fall, sending Democrats into the political wilderness.

Brown’s expectations of his former girlfriend’s political future seem to have dimmed since November.

He was effusive about a Harris presidency last year, before Democrats lost the White House, the national popular vote, and the U.S. Senate.

“I was a part of every campaign that she’s ever been involved in, supported her religiously and will still do so, and I am just looking forward for the next 89 days,” he added at the time.

“I just can’t wait to get in as president.”
