Former vice president Kamala Harris has finally signaled her next move as she signed with Hollywood talent agency Creative Artists Agency, the same one that recently roped in former president Joe Biden. This is not their first deal with the agency. Biden was represented by the agency before entering the White House and Kamala Harris too was represented by the same agency when she was California’s senator.
“CAA will work closely with Harris on her post-White House initiatives, creating strategic opportunities that expand her platform in support of the issues she has championed throughout her decades-long career in public service,” the Los Angeles-based company said, as reported by The Hill.
The agency will represent Harris in all areas including speaking engagements and publishing indicating that the former vice president may publish a book soon.
This is the same agency that represents former president Barack Obama, former first lady Michelle Obama, Beyonce, Brad Pitt, Ariana Grande and NBA star Devin Booker.
Kamala Harris frontrunner in California Guv race
Kamala Harris has not spelt out her next political moves but she is already a frontrunner in the California Guv race which she may not even enter. Current Guv Gavin Nesom cannot run again for the post because of the term limits. All eyes are on Kamala Harris because if she runs for the post, though it will be a step down from vice president, she will be a clear front-runner. “Ms Harris has won California every time she’s been on the statewide ballot — as a candidate for president, vice president, senator and attorney general,” the New York Times observed.
“If Ms Harris does run, it would be a rare move for someone who came so close to the presidency. Only four vice presidents have run for governor, and one dropped out to support another candidate, according to Joel Goldstein, an emeritus law professor at Saint Louis University who has studied the history of vice presidents,” NYT added.
