The humiliation of the 2024 presidential campaign clearly wasn’t enough for Kamala Harris.
The former vice-president, who lost in a landslide to Donald Trump last November, has reportedly “made clear to potential 2028 rivals that she’s working to keep another White House campaign viable.”
Axios reports:
Despite worries from party leaders and donors that she can’t win, Harris remains at or near the top of most 2028 Democratic primary polls.
She also has strong support among Black voters — the most critical voting bloc in most recent Democratic presidential primaries.
After lying low the first part of this year and then embarking on a 2024-focused book tour, Harris made several moves this week that many Democrats see as the beginnings of a 2028 campaign.
Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, mingled with national party officials and state party chairs in Los Angeles this week during the DNC’s winter meeting.
At a reception Wednesday evening, DNC chair Ken Martin introduced Emhoff as the former second gentleman and quipped that he could be the future first gentleman, people who heard the remarks told Axios.

Harris also touted herself as a change candidate during a speech in front of Democratic officials.
“Both parties have failed to hold the public’s trust,” Harris explained. “Government is viewed as fundamentally unable to meet the needs of its people.
”People are done with the status quo and they’re ready to break things to force change.”
“We cannot afford to be nostalgic for a flawed system that failed so many.”
While analysts and commentators have offered countless explanations for why Harris lost the last presidential election, it is clear that those around her are pinning the blame on Joe Biden rather than her own weakness as a candidate.
She recently turned down a move to run for governor of California, despite widespread speculation that she would throw her hat in the ring.
“For now, my leadership — and public service — will not be in elected office,” she said in a statement at the time.
“I look forward to getting back out and listening to the American people, helping elect Democrats across the nation who will fight fearlessly, and sharing more details in the months ahead about my own plans.”
Should Harris enter the presidential race, she undoubtedly be a contender.
According to the latest RealClearPolitics polling average, she draws roughly 20 percent support among Democratic voters — second only to Gavin Newsom, who leads the field at 26 percent.
