Kamala Harris Hints At 2028 Presidential Run

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is once again teasing a possible return to the national political stage, declining this week to rule out another White House bid after her 2024 defeat to President Donald J. Trump.

During a podcast interview Monday, Harris was directly asked whether she intends to run again.

“Everybody here wants to know the answer. Will you run again?” host Sharon McMahon asked the former Democratic nominee.

“I haven’t decided,” Harris responded.

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

“I might,” Harris replied.

The comments keep alive speculation that Harris could mount a 2028 presidential campaign, particularly after she announced last July that she would not seek the governorship of California — a move widely interpreted as preserving her national political options.

Prior to that decision, Harris was believed to be weighing three paths: a 2026 gubernatorial run in California, another presidential bid in 2028, or a quiet exit from elected politics following her loss to President Trump in 2024.

According to the RealClearPolitics polling average, Harris currently leads a hypothetical Democratic primary field with 28.3 percent support. Close behind is California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who draws 20.7 percent backing despite being term-limited in his current office.

McMahon suggested Harris’ recently released memoir signaled unfinished business.

“I closed the book and I’m like, oh, she wants to. She’s just thinking about it,” McMahon said, referencing Harris’ campaign memoir, 107 Days.

Harris rejected that characterization.

“No, the book is about a specific period in time,” she said.

“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.

While Harris frames the memoir as reflective, her political infrastructure appears to be stirring back to life.

Her 2024 campaign accounts were reactivated this month on X and TikTok in what observers see as an early effort to re-engage younger voters ahead of the midterms. The KamalaHQ account on X posted a cryptic video showing failed login attempts using passwords such as “waytooonline,” “thebabysitterisweird,” and “project2025wasreal,” before the screen fades to black and the word “Tomorrow” appears.

Harris has partnered with the progressive nonprofit People For the American Way to relaunch her digital presence under a new brand called “Headquarters,” described as a “youth mobilization organization” and a “next-generation campaigning” effort.

According to a statement obtained by NewsNation, the initiative aims to “mobilize pro-fairness, pro-democracy young people against far-right extremism.” Harris, who lost her 2024 bid to President Trump, will serve as the organization’s “chair emerita.”

“I have good news,” Harris said in a YouTube short posted Wednesday night. “So KamalaHQ is turning into Headquarters and it’s where you can go online to get basically the latest of what’s going on, and also to meet and revisit with some of our great, courageous leaders, be they elected leaders, community leaders, civic leaders, faith leaders, young leaders.”

“I’m really excited about it,” she continued.

The rebranded account posted: “Welcome to Headquarters, the new Gen-Z led progressive content hub.” Its banner features an inverted bald eagle layered over the U.S. flag — imagery critics argue reflects the modern Left’s tendency to recast traditional American symbols through a partisan lens.

Despite her 2024 loss, Harris remains a leading figure in Democratic politics and is widely viewed as a top-tier contender should she enter the 2028 primary.

Whether Democratic voters are eager for a rematch after President Trump’s decisive victory remains an open question. But one thing is certain: Harris is not ready to close the door.
