Kamala Harris might not vote for Kamala Harris.

While Vice President Harris barnstorms the country in her race for the White House, Kamala A. Harris — a New Hampshire landscaper and single mom of three — doesn’t know who she’ll vote for in the 2024 presidential election.

“I heard that she slept her way into office,” the New Englander told The Post, referencing rumors about the 60-year-old Democratic nominee’s romance with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown early in her career. “I don’t really know enough about her. I only know rumors.”
