Vice President Kamala Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff are heading back to California after the inauguration, a senior administration official confirmed Sunday. Harris, the official said, will take time to decide her next move. She is expected to write books about her time in politics and her interest in food and cooking, according to multiple sources.

There have been discussions among her allies about a possible run for California's open gubernatorial seat in 2026. Harris has yet to say whether she'll run.

Emhoff, the first man to serve as second gentleman, will leave Washington and return to his legal career, sources told CBS News Sunday.

Doug Emhoff had been a litigator and entertainment specialist in the firm DLA Piper's Los Angeles office, but he severed ties with the firm when his wife was inaugurated four years ago. Now, sources tell CBS News, Emhoff will make a return to legal work, though with a different firm. The sources declined to identify the firm but said Emhoff is expected to divide time between the firm's offices in New York and Los Angeles.
