Harris Joins Forces with Hollywood Power Player
In a move that has raised eyebrows across both political and entertainment circles, former Vice President Kamala Harris has signed with Creative Artists Agency (CAA) for representation. This development comes on the heels of her unsuccessful general election campaign against Donald Trump, suggesting that Harris is already plotting her next moves in the public sphere.
The partnership with CAA, a titan in the entertainment industry, is expected to focus on securing speaking engagements and publishing opportunities for Harris. This strategy mirrors that of her former running mate, President Joe Biden, who recently renewed his own affiliation with the agency.
Expanding Her Platform
CAA’s involvement signals a concerted effort to amplify Harris’s voice on issues she has long championed. The agency has stated its intention to create strategic opportunities that will allow Harris to build upon her decades-long career in public service.
“CAA will work closely with Harris on her post-White House initiatives, creating strategic opportunities that expand her platform in support of the issues she has championed throughout decades-long career in public service.” – CAA
This move could potentially set the stage for Harris to re-enter the political arena with renewed vigor. With CAA’s extensive network and influence, Harris may find herself better positioned to shape public discourse on key social and political issues.

A Low Profile and Future Prospects
Since leaving office, Harris has maintained a relatively low profile, with recent sightings limited to Broadway shows in New York City. However, her partnership with CAA suggests that this period of quiet may soon come to an end.
“This is not a time to throw up our hands. This is a time to roll up our sleeves. This is a time to organize, to mobilize and to stay engaged for the sake of freedom and justice and the future that we all know we can build together.” – Kamala Harris
Speculation is already brewing about Harris’s future political aspirations. Some political observers have floated the possibility of a run for California governor when Gavin Newsom’s term ends in 2026. While Harris has not commented on these rumors, her alignment with CAA certainly positions her to maintain a high public profile in the coming years.
Following in Biden’s Footsteps
Harris’s decision to sign with CAA closely follows that of President Joe Biden, who re-affiliated with the agency on February 3rd. During his previous stint with CAA, Biden released a memoir and conducted a speaking tour, activities that Harris may well emulate in the near future.
As Harris charts her course in this new phase of her career, many will be watching closely to see how she leverages CAA’s considerable resources and connections. Whether her focus remains on public speaking and writing or evolves into a renewed bid for elected office, one thing is clear: Kamala Harris is not content to fade into the background of American politics.
