Former Vice President of the United States Kamala Harris, who was the Democratic Party’s candidate for President in 2024, said this Friday that she is thinking about running again for president in 2028.
Kamala Harris, while attending a meeting of the National Action Network, a civil rights organization founded by Reverend Al Sharpton, was asked directly by Sharpton if she would run again.
‘Maybe, maybe. I’m thinking about it, I’m thinking about it,’ Kamala said, as the audience at the New York City event applauded in response.
Kamala Harris added that she would consider a candidacy in the context of who, in 2028, could do the best job as president ‘for the American people’.
She, who served as vice president alongside Joe Biden, lost her 2024 presidential bid to President Donald Trump, who won both the popular vote and the Electoral College. Kamala had previously served as a US senator and as attorney general of California, among other positions. She unsuccessfully ran for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination in 2020.
A Kamala Harris candidacy in 2028 could face challenges among voters who have indicated in polls that they want to see new leaders for the Democratic Party following her defeat to Trump.
