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.
