The main potential contender who could upend the race — Kamala Harris — was nowhere to be seen. Since returning home to California, Harris has kept a low profile as she weighs whether she will enter a crowded field of contenders vying to succeed term-limited Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2026. She may also be positioning herself to seek the Democratic presidential nomination again in 2028. The former vice president has flown so far below the radar that she was almost an afterthought for many delegates at this gathering of party insiders.
