California senators are taking a wait-and-see approach to whether they’ll back Kamala Harris in a potential run for governor. But Sen. Adam Schiff said he thinks she’d excel at the job.

“I think that is a decision that she will have to make, and I can appreciate her wanting some time to figure it out,” he told NOTUS. “But I think if she decided to do so, she’d be an outstanding governor.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is term-limited, and several high-profile Democrats have already signaled they want to run next year to replace him. Harris has yet to say whether she’d run — but there could be significant momentum behind her.
