From the Daily Caller, according to political analyst Mark Halperin, former White House press secretary Sean Spicer, and former Democratic strategist Dan Turrentine, former Vice President Harris would not likely win if she runs for governor of California.  (If she runs for that office and loses, she will repeat what happened to President Richard Nixon, who ran for president in 1960 and California governor in 1962, and lost both races.)
