Julian Zelizer : Kamala Harris is considering whether to run for governor in 2026 .

Zelizer says it's a good idea for a presidential candidate to be governor or senator in 2028 .

He says such a race could fatally damage White House bid prospects in that year 's presidential race.

He notes recent losing presidential nominees have sought the White House without holding a government job at the same time.

Joshua Spivak : To find failed statewide candidates who went on to win a presidential nomination, you have to look way back to the days before primaries and caucuses.

For Harris , a loss in the 2026 California gubernatorial race seems somewhat unlikely, he says.

But the others are running in races in which they would be seen as having, at best, 50-50 odds of success in statewide bids, and in some cases, much less than that.
