Kamala Harris reportedly ready to jump into 2020 race, lining up East Coast headquarters

Word is California Sen. Kamala Harris will announce she’s running for president either on or shortly after the upcoming Martin Luther King weekend.

The exact date is still being worked out, but sources tell us it’s going to be sometime this month — the MLK holiday is Jan. 21.

“Right now, she is on a book tour, which to me looks like an unconventional run-up to an announcement,” said former political consultant Bob Shrum, who is now director of the Jesse M. Unruh Institute of Politics at the University of Southern California. As part of that tour for her new book, “The Truths We Hold: An American Journey,” Harris will appear at the Curran Theatre in San Francisco Saturday.
