Kamala Harris Hints at 2028 Presidential Bid After 2024 Loss to Trump
Former Democratic nominee Kamala Harris has hinted at a potential run for the 2028 presidential election, following her loss to Donald Trump in the 2024 race.
Speaking at the National Action Network's annual convention, Harris, a former vice president, acknowledged the possibility of a future bid, stating, "I might, I might. I'm thinking about it", in response to a question from civil rights leader Al Sharpton.
Harris emphasized her previous experience in the White House, serving as second-in-command to President Joe Biden from 2021 to 2025, and being a heartbeat away from the presidency.
She also highlighted her historic nomination as the first Black and South Asian woman to receive a major party nomination in US history.
Despite Trump's landslide victory in the 2024 election, Harris's popular vote share was significant, with 48.3% of the overall vote, compared to Trump's 49.8%.
Harris's remarks also took aim at Trump's track record, criticizing his aggressive postures and questioning his reliability as a partner to US allies.
While Harris left the subject of a 2028 bid on an ambiguous note, she expressed her consideration for the American people, stating, "I'm thinking about it in the context of then: Who and where and how can the best job be done for the American people?"
