Here’s Trump’s advice to Kamala if she runs for California governor

President Trump has some advice for former foe Kamala Harris if she runs for California governor next year.

“Let her run,” Trump, 78, told OutKick’s Clay Travis during an interview Saturday when asked about her future. “I don’t want to be [giving] people advice politically, but one thing she’s gotta start doing is she’s gotta start giving interviews.

“[Former President Joe Biden] — during the COVID thing, he did no interviews, and he got away with it because of COVID.”

Since her defeat against Trump in November, Harris, 60, has been rumored to be mulling three main options about her political future: running for California governor in 2026, vying for the presidency again in 2028 and staying on the sidelines as a Dem powerbroker.

Incumbent California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is term-limited, leaving a big opening for Harris.

Harris has laid low since departing the White House in January, declining to do any public interviews and only making a few appearances such as the 56th annual NAACP Image Awards last month.

During the 2024 election cycle, Harris had a guarded approach to the media. Some Dem operatives lamented the fact that she never went on podcast titan Joe Rogan’s show.

By contrast, Trump engaged in a strategy of blitzing independent media, sitting down with a wide range of personalities such as Rogan, Theo Von and Andrew Schultz.

The president has credited his teenage son Barron with helping him select the podcasts with which to do interviews.

Vice President JD Vance also served as Trump’s attack dog with traditional media outlets during the 2024 race. Trump had bombarded traditional media outlets during his 2016 campaign as well.

Harris’ vice presidential pick, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), has since complained that the campaign apparatus hamstrung him when it came to doing interviews during the race.

Walz said that he offered to do significantly more public events during the race’s homestretch last year but that the campaign rejected his suggestion, according to CNN.

“There’s a danger – and I would argue I did it maybe during the campaign – of fighting the last battle instead of the next one,” Walz said, according to the outlet.

“This is a whole different opponent fighting a whole different battle. And all of our past history that tells us how we should have approached this, I don’t think holds true.”

Walz recently took it on the chin from Caitlyn Jenner when she mocked him for suggesting that conservatives fear his masculinity. Jenner, who is transgender, joked that she is more masculine than Walz.

Trump, asked during Saturday’s interview about who would win a fight between Jenner and Walz,” replied, Oh, Caitlyn Jenner all day long.”

During the interview with OutKick, Trump also mused that being elected in between terms “showed how bad [Dems] were.

“What they were doing didn’t work,” he said.

While reflecting on the difference between his first and second administrations, Trump took note of how he’s garnered more allies, including in the tech industry this time around.

“If you look at the inauguration — look at the people that were there — it was a who’s who of a world that was totally against me the first time,” Trump said. “So a much different presidency. I have much more support.”
