LOS ANGELES (AP) — California Attorney General Kamala Harris will seek a U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Barbara Boxer, an adviser with knowledge of her plans said Monday.

With her Tuesday announcement, Harris, 50, will become the first prominent California Democrat to enter the 2016 race that is expected to lure a crowded field.

The adviser was not authorized to discuss Harris's plans and spoke only on the condition of anonymity.

The disclosure came shortly after a potential rival, California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, said he won't run for the open seat created by Boxer's retirement next year.

Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and billionaire Tom Steyer are also considering bids for the seat, which Boxer has held for over two decades. [snip]

Obama Truth Squader. Refused to honor the people of California’s vote on prop 8. Dereliction of duty. Avid gun controller/anti 2nd Amendment. Favors prisoner release. Decriminalize drugs. Anti-small and medium business. Obamacare supporter. LGBTQ. Communist.

Yeah, she’s a shoo-in.

More insane than Boxer? That would be difficult. Not impossible though.

She's evil! Maybe more evil than Boxer. She's let murderers off the hook, is against incarceration and the death penalty. She bends over backwards for criminals, particularly when it falls along racial lines. You think Eric Holder was bad, just look at the history of Kamala Harris. She is not fair, uses others to further her career and does not care for the citizenry.

Old “Any Twosome Newsom” is looking a little aced out in that photo...but they are saving Jerry Brown’s seat for him, which might be better for his long-term Presidential hopes, anyway. :)

Another corrupt pol from the Obama wing of the Democrat Party. Thought she might be a candidate to replace Holder, but her brother is second or third in line for that job. GOP should be able to dig up some dirt on her if they aren't cowering in the corner.

Tom Steyer’s billions will have something to say about it. He will buy support from incumbents. He shelled out many millions to far let Green weenie candidates during the 2014 elections

Im thinking, affirmative action candidate. What has she done? never heard of her.

Doesn't matter if you never heard of her. Why, she'd be the FIRST african american senator from CA, and this nation has become nothing more than a nation of "firsts". Who gives a rip about competency anymore?

“I don’t know if Condoleezza Rice is interested but I hope so.”

I don’t. Condi Rice was one of the RINO gang that savaged tea party favorite Tim Donnelly during the California gubernatorial primary.

That band of RINO weasels chose Neel Kashkari, the amnesty advocating, abortion supporting, gay marriage endorsing hindu who admitted to voting for Obama.

So we know what her political instincts are, and they suck.

His real name is James Harris. So, he is the original Kamala Harris.
