UC professor talks to L.A. Times about next steps for former veep

UC Assistant Professor Gregory H. Winger said history suggest Harris might not be through with politics or public service. 

“Even if it isn’t the governorship of California, the idea of wanting something else other than the 2024 election to be the last thing Kamala Harris ever did would be very appealing,” he told the L.A. Times.

Winger said his research has found that losers of elections often are more active publicly than winners in their post-White House years since their time in office ended on a sour note.

“It’s kind of a frustrated ambition that then leads into higher activity,” Winger said.

Winger teaches in UC's School of Public and International Affairs, where he studies cybersecurity and U.S. foreign policy, among other subjects. He is a former Fulbright fellow in the Philippines whose work has been published in outlets such as “Foreign Affairs,“ “Foreign Policy Analysis,“ and “Armed Forces & Society.“
