Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) will formally announce her bid for the White House on or around Martin Luther King Jr. Day, sources told KCBS Radio, a station in her home state of California.

The sources said she would "probably" make the announcement at a rally in Oakland, the radio station added.

A spokesperson for Harris told The Hill, however, that no announcement is imminent and Harris will not be in Oakland during the holiday weekend.

Harris has long been considered a possible frontrunner for the 2020 Democratic nomination and speculation that she would enter the race continued to mount this week when she launched a book tour and media blitz to promote her memoir that was published Tuesday.

It will be a crowded field.

2. Good. She is probably our best candidate.

VP should be Beto or Kennedy or Julian Castro.

5. Had a "getting to know you" meeting with prospective funders last month

She's very smart, and has a compelling policy message. I will say she doesn't strike me a "crowd pleaser" like Beto O'Rourke.

6. All I care about

is winning in 2020. Who do you folks think will actually be the candidate that will appeal to the majority of the country? I'm asking not who you like, but who you think will be the strongest candidate we can run?
