Political tensions are brewing in the Golden State, and it’s not just about the latest tech startup drama. Kamala Harris’s new memoir, “107 Days,” is spilling the tea on her complicated relationship with California Governor Gavin Newsom, setting the stage for what could be an epic 2028 presidential primary showdown.

A Tale of Political Frenemies

Long before their national spotlight moments, Harris and Newsom were navigating the same California political landscape, both owing their early careers to the legendary Willie Brown. Their paths have been intertwined, yet distinctly separate - a dynamic that’s become more pronounced as presidential aspirations simmer.

The Unreturned Phone Call Heard 'Round California

In a deliciously petty memoir moment, Harris reveals a telling interaction from July 2024: a missed connection with Newsom during Biden’s non-reelection announcement. Her book notes a terse record of “Hiking. Will call back” - which apparently never happened. Newsom claims he was simultaneously drafting an endorsement statement, but the narrative suggests a relationship more complex than simple political solidarity.

The 2028 Horizon

With both politicians eyeing a potential 2028 presidential run, their current dance feels like a high-stakes political chess match. Harris brings national recognition from her VP tenure, while Newsom has been carefully cultivating his national profile. Their shared California roots might be both a blessing and a curse in a political landscape still recovering from Trump-era perceptions of the state.

The political popcorn is officially ready, and we’re here for every delicious moment of this California political drama.
