Kamala Harris says she might run for president again in 2028

WASHINGTON (TNND) — Former Vice President Kamala Harris said that she “might” make another presidential run come 2028 in a recent interview.

Harris sat down for an interview with Sharon McMahon, who asked the 2024 presidential Democratic nominee if she’d make another run for president. Harris jumped into the presidential race after then President Joe Biden dropped out of the race amid heavy pressure from Democratic leadership due to his disastrous debate performance.

Harris had told McMahon she had yet to decide if she’d make another run.

“You’re still thinking about it?” McMahon asked.

“I might,” Harris replied.

After losing the presidential election, Harris released her memoir “107 Days” which gives her perspective on her short presidential campaign. Her book has been highly criticized by members of the Biden White House. Since the book’s release, Harris has gone on tour, visiting dozens of cities and speaking before sold out audiences.

McMahon shared with Harris that she believed her book insinuated that she “wants” to make another bid for the White House, which Harris rejected.

“No, the book is about a specific period in time. There was no agenda beyond what we’ve discussed already, which is just sharing with people, you know, the reality of the experience, and hopefully allowing people to see something of themselves in it, in a way that, you know, that Girl Scout troop, when it comes time for them to read it, might see themselves in and know what they can do and that they could do it,” Harris said.

Harris has remained mum on whether she plans to run again. Last July, she announced she wouldn’t be seeking the governor’s seat in California, adding to speculation that she still has her eyes set for the White House.

Meanwhile, polling released on Monday by Echelon Insights shows Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom as the leading Democratic contender for president. The poll shows 24% of voters favor Newsom, and Harris garners 18% of voters’ support, followed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) with 9% of voters’ support.
