Kamala Harris is one of the more polarizing names in politics. Her short fused Presidential Campaign against Donald Trump turned heads after Joe Biden admitted that he medically wouldn’t be able to run for another term. Harris announced her presidency in July of 2024 which gave her approximately four months to run for president.
However, Kamala Harris was asked if she would run with an appropriate time to prepare. Here is what she said.
Kamala Harris Makes 2028 Presidential Campaign Announcement
Harris, the former Vice President and 2024 Democratic nominee for President, gave some insight into what she’s thinking for the election in two years. She publicly admitted that she is thinking about running:
“I might,” she told the Rev. Al Sharpton at a New York City gathering of the National Action Network, a civil rights organization he founded. “I served for four years being a heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States.
I spent countless hours in my West Wing office, footsteps away from the Oval Office. I spent countless hours in the Oval Office and the Situation Room. I know what the job is, and I know what it requires.”
If Harris runs for President again in 2028 it would be a lightening rod for democrats. However, she would certainly face stiff competition from other democrats. California governor Gavin Newsom is widely regarded at the top democratic representative in 2028. Here is a list of a few others:
-
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC)
-
Pete Buttigieg
-
Josh Shapiro
-
Jon Ossoff
-
Andy Beshear
Regardless, Harris has been dropping some pretty clear hints lately that she’s seriously considering another run for president in 2028. At the National Action Network convention in New York, the crowd started chanting “run again!” and she didn’t shut it down. She went on to talk about how she spent four years as VP, basically a heartbeat away from the Oval Office, sitting in on meetings in the Situation Room and seeing up close what the job really demands. To her, that kind of insider experience isn’t something you just walk away from lightly.
Part of what’s pushing her is a genuine belief that the country is still stuck with problems that neither party has fixed for ordinary folks. She’s been traveling around, especially in the South and other spots, listening to people, and she keeps coming back to the idea that the status quo just isn’t working anymore.
After losing in 2024, a lot of her supporters still feel she got a raw deal and didn’t get a fair shot to show what she could do. That loyalty from key parts of the Democratic base gives her a solid foundation that not every potential candidate has right now.
