Walters: With Harris out, who emerges as frontrunner in governor's race?
Briefly

Kamala Harris announced she will not run for California governor, which previously delayed decisions from other candidates. Harris stated her commitment to helping elect Democrats and pursuing new ideas aligned with traditional values. In a recent interview, she described the American system of government as broken but insisted that this should not lead to giving up. Her withdrawal clarifies the race, creating space for candidates like Katie Porter and Eleni Kounalakis to emerge without the overshadowing presence of Harris, who lacked clarity in her public statements.
Kamala Harris' penchant for strings of abstruse verbiage popularly known as word salads was one of several reasons her presidential campaign failed last year.
A day later, Harris continued her parade of vague statements during a softball interview, declaring that the American system of government was broken.
With her out of the picture, the field remains crowded without a clear frontrunner, allowing other candidates to shift into a higher gear.
The higher tier includes Katie Porter, who fell short in a U.S. Senate bid last year, and Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis, who has substantial private wealth.
