The bet won't settle until pledged delegates are awarded in the 2028 Democratic primary, which hasn't started. What's new: Harris declined to run for California governor in 2026 (announced summer 2025), keeping a 2028 run possible, and in interviews through mid-2026 she's said she's 'thinking about' running again, though some former allies are reportedly cool on the idea and pushing for fresher faces. None of this determines a nominee — it's just background noise on her intentions, so the bet remains fully open and unresolved.

Found by an automated search of the news, judged against this bet's own rule. Its own confidence: medium. It cannot settle a bet — only one of you can.
