While visiting a shelter for wildfire survivors in Westwood, former Vice President Kamala Harris said Thursday an increasingly longer California fire season is requiring leaders think about how they can "do better" in handling the natural disasters.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris, alongside L.A County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, surveyed the Palisades Fire burn areas on Thursday and visited the Westwood Recreation Center, an evacuation site for displaced residents.

Only former U.S. Rep. Katie Porter – who has declared – would be remotely comparable, but Porter has already clarified that Harris’ entrance would “clear the field.”

For the second time since returning to Los Angeles, the former vice president toured neighborhoods damaged by the recent wildfires.

Speculation is mounting about former Vice President Kamala Harris' political future, with growing chatter about a potential run for California governor. It comes as California Attorney General Rob Bonta said he won't run for California governor in 2026 and instead endorsed Harris for the position.
