IT’S ON: Kamala Harris Will Be ‘Knocking on Doors in Iowa.’

Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (D.) said California Sen. Kamala Harris (D.) will be “knocking on doors in Iowa,” indicating Saturday he expects she will run for president.

Villaraigosa, who is running for Governor of California in 2018, was asked by MSNBC host Hugh Hewitt about Harris, a newly elected senator considered a rising star in the Democratic Party. Hewitt predicted she would be the nominee for the Democrats in 2020.

“Has she got a stake in this governor’s race?” Hewitt asked.

“Well, not yet,” Villaraigosa said. “I hope she will support my candidacy, but as you say, she is a great candidate. She’s going to be knocking on doors in Iowa, I expect. But in any case, I’m focused on this race, not the presidential race.”

An unaccomplished first-term Senator with nothing going for her but skin color, a telegenic personality, and a predictably progressive record? Nah, could never happen.
