Kamala Harris said she is thinking about running again for president in 2028.
Former vice president Kamala Harris confirmed on Friday that she is thinking about running for president again in 2028. The Rev. Al Sharpton asked the former vice president at the National Action Network conference in New York City if she would run for president in 2028. “Listen, I might,” Harris said. “I’m thinking about it.” Harris kept her future plan in politics ambiguous so far as she dived into writing a book but this is being seen as her strongest assertion on her political future. Chants of “run again” rang out in the Manhattan ballroom where Harris sat for her conversation with Sharpton, the founder of the civil rights group.“Let me also say this, I served for four years being a heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States … I know what the job is, and I know what it requires,” Harris said.“And part of the issue is the need to get rid of some of the bureaucracy in government and to understand that the people … don’t want process, they want progress,” she said. “Look, the American people have the right to expect that anyone who wants to run for office and be a leader, that it can’t be about themselves and what they want for themselves has to be about the American people,” she added. “And that’s how I think of it and I am thinking about it in the context of ... who and where and how can the best job be done for the American people? I’ll keep you posted.”Soon after she lost the 2024 presidential election, speculations were rife that she would contest for California Governor next. But after a year and a half, Kamala Harris issued her first assertive statement that she might run again for the president. “So he enters into this war, a war of choice,” Harris said of the war with Iran. “Remember, the man said he got rid of their nuclear arsenal, obliterated it. He said — you know how he likes to use those kinds of words, obliterated it, which is not an ambiguous term, that means you took it out — well, evidently, he didn’t do that.”
