Former Vice President Kamala Harris has taken significant steps in defining her career following the 2024 presidential election by signing with Creative Artists Agency (CAA), as announced by the agency on February 18. CAA will represent Harris across various domains, with a particular emphasis on speaking engagements and publishing endeavors. The agency also indicated its commitment to collaborating with Harris to identify strategic opportunities that enhance her platform and the causes she has passionately supported throughout her public service career.
This partnership is not Harris’s first with CAA; the agency previously represented her during her time as a U.S. senator from California prior to her vice presidency. Harris joins a roster of prominent political figures associated with CAA, including former Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama, as well as former First Lady Michelle Obama, with Biden also recently signing with the agency. Although Harris has been relatively reserved regarding her future political plans after her defeat to Donald Trump, she is viewed as a strong contender for the 2026 gubernatorial race in California. A recent poll from Emerson College Polling/Inside California Politics/The Hill suggests she would lead the Democratic candidates if she chose to run. Earlier this month, while visiting wildfire-affected areas in California, Harris addressed speculation about a gubernatorial run, stating her focus is on engaging with her community and supporting local leaders.
