Kamala Harris needs to find a way to cash out of politics — like the rest of the failed politicians do.

Because her act is getting tedious.

She ran, she lost. Why is she still talking about running again?

You’d think, by now, that she would have found herself a few corporate board seats. A spot on the lecture circuit. A no-show job at a university somewhere.

Heck, even Bob Dole got into hawking Viagra. 

Kamala doesn’t have to go that far. But I hear there’s a tidy profit to be made in non-profits, at least where Democrats are in office.

Instead, she’s hanging around, talking about running for president a third time. 

No one can figure out exactly why. It’s not as if she stands for any particular cause.

Take the Israel issue, for example.

In 2019, during her first run for president, Kamala Harris joined most other Democratic candidates in boycotting the pro-Israel lobby group, AIPAC, declining to attend their annual conference of grassroots activists.

Then she met with them in private, “to discuss the need for a strong U.S.-Israel alliance, the right of Israel to defend itself, and me commitment to combat anti-Semitism in our country and around the world,” she said.

Today, she’s reaching out to anti-Israel “progressives” and socialists like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

What is her real view? Who knows. She probably doesn’t have one. She’s just going with the flow, trying to stay in the conversation, trying to stay relevant.

But she’s not.

Kamala has no chance of winning the Democratic nomination — none.

There is no chance that the party is going to nominate a candidate who has lost twice. The donors won’t write the checks. The volunteers won’t turn up.

In 2024, Harris lost the popular vote to Donald Trump. Not even Hillary Clinton did that.

Kamala blames the fact that she had only “107 days” to campaign. But she had four years in office before that.

She worked hard behind the scenes for that nomination, after Biden stepped aside. She maneuvered cleverly to win his endorsement when pressure mounted on him to quit the race.

She made sure the party elite coronated her — without a primary race or even a contested convention vote.

She had a mountain of cash to spend. She had the media on her side. She started on third base.

She still managed to lose. 

In the 2020 race, Harris dropped out before the first primary vote was cast. 

I followed her for a stretch on the campaign trail in 2019. Voters were willing to give her a chance. They packed restaurants and high school gyms to hear her speak.

They often left deflated.

At one college campus in LA, Kamala drew thousands — but her campaign put them on the side of the room, out of view of the cameras.

A cameraman on the TV riser leaned over to me and said it was the worst malpractice he had seen at any political rally.

She’s not great at this. Oh, she’s good — good enough to build a career, Willie Brown, gave her a head start in California politics.

But not great.

She did nothing as California Attorney General, and even less in the U.S. Senate. And her presidential campaigns never moved past being anti-Trump.

Right now, all Kamala Harris is doing is keeping her donors and activists captive.

They are stuck with her — rather than combing the country, looking for candidates that might be more interesting than the current talking heads on TV and social media.

Even Gavin Newsom says he’s waiting to see what she will do. 

Maybe, maybe not. There’s no way a California governor visits South Carolina that many times without launching a campaign. 

But he’s not the only one. 

Democrats are in the middle of an epic ideological struggle between the insurgent socialists — Mamdani, Hasan Piker, AOC — and the party establishment.

The party — and the country — needs an alternative, someone who can stand for what Democrats used to represent: Personal liberty and a social safety net.

This happened at the end of the Reagan era, too. Democrats had a weak and divided field.

And then Bill Clinton emerged from Arkansas — of all places — who unified the party behind a vision that combined free markets and social solidarity.

There was no heir apparent to stop him.

So — at the risk of inviting corruption — will someone with deep pockets please give Kamala Harris a job?

After all, what’s a revolving door for?
