Kamala Harris to Start a Think Tank?

Here is more from the New York Times:

Yet some of [Kamala Harris's] closest allies say she is leaning against another White House run in 2028 and, instead, toward a campaign for governor of California in 2026. Her political choice is binary, she has told people: She can run for governor or president, but not both.

Ms. Harris, who jokes to friends that she is unemployed for the first time, has explored options beyond pursuing electoral office, too. She hired the Creative Artists Agency to gauge interest in speaking engagements and a potential book. An aide has held preliminary talks with universities about establishing a policy institute, though some warned that could complicate her political aspirations.

 

Harris is being mocked on social media for her interest in creating a think tank.  Some names those people have suggested for her think tank: The Coconut Tree Institute, The Kamala D. Harris Institute for Examining the Importance of Understanding What Needs to Be Done, and The Kamala Harris Center for the Unburdening of What Has Been.
