Kamala Harris admits to far-left ideas that Democrats will impose on America if elected

ormer presidential nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris this week presented a number of what she considers top Democratic Party goals, should the party retake Congress, that appear more far-left than those being pitched to potential voters during the midterm cycle.

She expressed her views on the “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer” podcast posted Tuesday on what a Democrat-controlled Congress should try to advance including expanding the Supreme Court, changing the Electoral College and statehood for Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C.

“I believe that we need to expand the Supreme Court. We need more justices,” she said, while also mentioning more affordable housing and healthcare and the high cost of “groceries and gas.”

She also said, “If the folks [in Congress] want it, we should push for statehood for Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C.”

Such comments appear divergent from what House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries outlined as 2026 Democratic candidates’ unifying message.

“Fighting for an affordable America – that’s what unites Democrats all across the country,” Jeffries said recently at the party campaign headquarters in Washington.

Still, Harris is far from alone.

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville told party members that if they win both chambers, then the White House in 2028 should “make Puerto Rico [and] D.C. a state, and they should expand the Supreme Court to 13” on day one, advising them to “Don’t run on it. Don’t talk about it. Just do it.”

Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., endorsed the same court expansion on Meet the Press, calling 13 justices, compared to nine now, “a pretty good number” and a “baker’s dozen.”

Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, in May introduced legislation to increase the number of high court seats to 13. Green lost his reelection bid in a party primary, and it’s unclear whether another Democrat House member will champion the issue.

Washington, D.C., statehood remains a standing Democratic priority through the Washington, D.C. Admission Act, which would create two new senators and a House member for a district that votes overwhelmingly Democratic. These proposals, which would add Senate seats and reshape the high court, have circulated among party figures for years and would become far more viable with control of Congress.

Report: Kamala Harris ‘Lays Groundwork’ for 2028 Campaign

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is laying the groundwork for a third presidential campaign, speaking with major donors, hiring staff, and traveling to battleground states, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

The former vice president has told associates she remains undecided on another White House run, but she has taken steps that could precede a 2028 bid, the Journal reported, citing multiple people familiar with the conversations.

Harris has publicly tied her plans to the November midterms, telling a NAACP event in Michigan last month that the next cycle depends on this one.

“I have not decided if I’m going to run again,” Harris said, drawing a lengthy standing ovation. “I do sincerely believe ‘28 won’t matter if we don’t get through ‘26.”

The former Democrat nominee has appeared at a half-dozen private California fundraisers ahead of the midterms and joined a Democratic National Committee get-out-the-vote call urging more than 2,000 volunteers to knock on doors across a dozen states. She has also assembled a team of advisers, including chief of staff Candace Bond, a former ambassador to Trinidad and Tobago, and communications director Eduardo Negrón.

REPORT: Kamala Harris’s Husband Privately Urging Her Not to Run in 2028 as Donors Warn Campaign Would Be a ‘Long Shot’

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is considering another run for the White House in 2028, but even her own husband reportedly thinks she should stay out of the race.

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Doug Emhoff has privately told several people that he would prefer his wife not launch another presidential campaign.

His reservations come as Harris quietly lays the groundwork for a possible third attempt at the presidency, despite her crushing defeat in 2024.

The report also revealed that some major Democratic donors have personally warned Harris that another presidential campaign would be a long shot.

Harris has been meeting with wealthy donors, hiring political staff and traveling to battleground states ahead of November’s midterm elections.

However, her political ambitions are reportedly causing unease among Democrats who believe the party needs a fresh face rather than another attempt by its defeated 2024 nominee.

Crowd is Silent as Kamala Harris Maniacally Laughs During Campaign Event with Democrat Congressional Candidate Richard Pan

Kamala Harris hit the campaign trail on Friday with Democrat Congressional candidate Richard Pan – and it was a disaster.

Dr. Richard Pan is a former California state senator who is currently running for California’s 6th Congressional District in the Sacramento area.

Pan is facing off against incumbent Republican-turned-Independent Rep. Kevin Kiley.

Kamala Harris and Richard Pan blocked reporters from covering the campaign event at Pan’s headquarters, according to KCRA:

Former Vice President Kamala Harris and Democratic Congressional candidate Richard Pan blocked some news organizations, including KCRA 3, from covering their public appearance in Sacramento on Friday.

Harris’ team and Pan’s team are blaming each other for the decision to exclude some journalists from covering the event.

While several other outlets, including two local TV stations, The Sacramento Bee and Los Angeles Times, covered Harris’ stop at Pan’s campaign headquarters, KCRA 3 was not invited and not approved to cover the event, Pan’s campaign confirmed.

A spokesman for Pan’s campaign told KCRA 3 on Friday night the decision to exclude not just KCRA 3 but also The New York Times, was at the direction of Kamala Harris’ team.

Richard Pan denied banning KCRA and other outlets from the event.

Michigan Woman Who Received Biden-Era Presidential Award Arrested in Alleged $1 Million Fraud Scheme

A Michigan woman who plastered photos of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris next to her name in 2024 has been arrested and charged with wire fraud after federal prosecutors say she posed as an ambassador, a private banker, and a successful hotel owner to steal more than $1 million from victims.

Shannon Monet Steel, 42, of Farmington Hills, was arrested by the FBI and made her first appearance in federal court in Detroit on September 1, 2026.

She is charged with wire fraud. She was released on a $10,000 unsecured bond. Wire fraud carries a maximum of 20 years in federal prison.

According to the New York Post, which reviewed court filings first reported by the Detroit News, Steel targeted at least eight victims between 2022 and 2026 and pocketed at least $1.05 million in so-called “good faith” escrow money. Prosecutors say she promised victims millions in loans from a bank that does not exist, then kept the cash.

The lies were not subtle.

Steel publicly billed herself as an appointed ambassador of the Central African Republic to the United States and as “Ambassador to the First Lady” of that country.

On her foundation website, she wrote that she was “the newly appointed Ambassador for the First Lady of C.A.R. NGO on a mission to eradicate poverty.” Investigators say she is not an accredited diplomat of any country to the United States.

Battleground Democrats Are Snubbing Two 2028 Presidential Contenders

Democratic candidates in several of this fall’s most competitive House and Senate races are keeping Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and former Vice President Kamala Harris off their campaign trails – even though both women rank among the party’s leading prospects for the 2028 presidential nomination.

The Democratic bench for 2028 includes Harris, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Ocasio-Cortez, Georgia Sen. Jon Ossoff and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly. Two of those six are women of color, from the demographic the party has spent a decade calling its moral center and its electoral future. Both now sit on the do-not-call list in the districts that will decide control of Congress in this year’s midterm elections.

According to an Axios report, Democrats in several key battlegrounds are keeping Ocasio-Cortez at arm’s length. Party officials say candidates in other close races have told her team outright to stay away. That is an electability problem for a politician whose whole pitch to primary voters is that bold progressivism, including Medicare for All, wins more votes than cautious centrism does.

Candidates in tight races reject that theory today even though they embraced it only months ago in their primaries. Sam Forstag, a progressive House candidate in Montana, rallied with Ocasio-Cortez in May on his way to the Democratic nomination. He has since scrubbed her endorsement from his campaign website.

“The polling is atrocious for her,” a senior Democratic strategist working in a key swing district told Axios. “She’s a lightning rod.”

Her own team offered no evidence to the contrary. When Axios asked whether she had campaigned in person for any of the party’s top House or Senate candidates this cycle, her office could not point to a single one.

Her travel log shows where she is welcome, and it’s clearly not in races that matter. Ocasio-Cortez made stops in Buffalo and Ithaca this week but skipped New York’s competitive 17th District in the lower Hudson Valley. She also stumped for Florida Senate nominee Angie Nixon, a fellow member of the Democratic Socialists of America, in a state that has drifted so far red that no serious Democrat expects Nixon to flip the seat. Buttigieg, Kelly and former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, by contrast, have all drawn invitations from Democrats in competitive districts and states over the past month.

Kamala Harris is also getting snubbed despite polling the best of any 2028 contender. Last month, The Hill reported that Democrats in the most competitive midterm contests were shutting her out in public. Iowa supplied the most brutal data point. At the Iowa State Fair in August, a reporter asked gubernatorial nominee Rob Sand whether he wanted Harris to campaign for him.

“No thanks,” Sand said. “Let’s move on. We need some new leadership.”

Josh Turek, the party’s Senate nominee in Iowa, got the same question and answered with a smiling “No.” In Alaska, Senate candidate Mary Peltola distanced herself from Harris after Harris’s political operation sent out a fundraising appeal on Peltola’s behalf without telling her first.

This pattern runs counter to every assumption baked into those primary polls. Harris is a former vice president, the first woman to hold the office, the party’s 2024 nominee and one of its most recognizable faces.

For a party that spent a decade insisting diversity was its destiny, this dynamic carries a certain irony. Democrats built their brand on elevating women of color, and the two women of color on their 2028 bench are getting the cold shoulder.

Kamala Harris Is BACK To Lecture Us About AI

Former Vice President Kamala Harris discussed artificial intelligence and social-media algorithms during a recent Off Air with Big Boy interview released September 25. Host Big Boy asked Harris whether AI-driven personalization on TikTok and Instagram could divide Americans by determining which messages appear in each user’s feed.

Harris miserably warned that when users repeatedly receive similar content, they should recognize that they are “being targeted,” adding that platforms risk “trying to dumb people down.” Strangely using a flower metaphor, Harris said an algorithm might assume that because she viewed a yellow flower, she is interested only in yellow flowers—even though she might also want to see a pink one.

Big Boy followed her analogy by interjecting, “So here’s more yellow flowers,” before Harris argued that users must understand how algorithms manipulate their feeds and learn how to “psych it out a bit.” The exchange concerned a miserable and cringe warning about algorithms and it arose from Big Boy’s broader questions about AI, social media and misinformation.

Critics quickly roasted the remarks online, with one X user warning viewers they would “lose brain cells,” while another called the explanation “nightmare fuel.” Other detractors revived the familiar “word salad” criticism, mocked the yellow-and-pink-flower imagery and questioned Harris’ understanding of technology.

Later in the interview, Harris addressed a possible 2028 presidential campaign, telling Big Boy, “I am thinking about it, but I have not decided,” and promising to keep the audience posted. Big Boy replied that her indecision still offered supporters “hope,” while Harris’ answer echoed previous remarks that she “might” run again and remains publicly undecided about seeking the Democratic nomination in 2028.

Try Not to Laugh as Kamala Harris Explains Artificial Intelligence and Algorithms 

During a recent podcast appearance, former Vice President Kamala Harris tried to explain artificial intelligence and algorithms. You can probably guess how well things went.

It is amazing to remember that when Joe Biden was president, he actually put her in charge of AI. She was his AI czar.

When you see this clip, you will fully realize what a disastrous decision that really was.

From Breitbart News:

Harris, the Democratic Party’s 2024 presidential nominee told the “Big Boy’s Neighborhood” podcast this week it’s time to “psyche it out a bit,” contending that algorithms are basically trying to diminish social media user’s curiosity.

“They’re trying to dumb people down with the assumption that people don’t have any interest beyond what they have already seen,” she said. “Think about that.”

The host nodded: “Oh yeah, the algorithm.”

Then Harris took a deep dive into the subject, launching into a flower metaphor to make her point.

“But the algorithm suggesting I have no more interest because I’m looking at this yellow flower,” she said. “I’m only interested in yellow flowers… as though my brain can’t handle the fact that there may be a pink flower, right, right, that I might be interested in looking at, right?”

It wasn’t immediately clear what the point was, but the Washington Times interpreted the words as “algorithms are manipulating people.”

Democratic megadonor who gave to Gavin Newsom and Kamala Harris linked to murky honeypot spy saga

A California family who has injected millions of dollars into Democratic campaigns are facing renewed scrutiny over their connections to people and organizations tied to suspected Chinese spy Fang Fang.

The Yin family, who made a fortune operating McDonald’s franchises in the state, has donated more than $4.4 million to state and federal political causes — including hundreds of thousands of dollars to Gov. Gavin Newsom, former Vice President Kamala Harris and other prominent Democrats, according to campaign records, CBS News reported.

The family’s political connections have drawn attention following the release of FBI files concerning Fang, also known as Christine Fang, whose relationship with disgraced former California Rep. Eric Swalwell became the subject of a major national-security controversy.

The documents released by the White House in August describe a working relationship between Fang and CC Yin, the 89-year-old patriarch of the Yin family, through the Asian Pacific American Public Affairs (APAPA) organization, which he helped establish.

OOPS: Kamala Harris Says the Quiet Part Out Loud as She Whines About Republican Efforts to Ensure Fair Elections 

Kamala Harris has made a damning admission about how her party ‘wins’ elections that could create a few headaches for her party as the midterm elections approach.

As CBS News reported, Harris spoke during a Tuesday evening NAACP forum in Detroit, Michigan, after campaigning for Muslim Marxist Abdul El-Sayed earlier in the day.

The purpose of the forum was to rally Democrats behind El-Sayed and outline the stakes of the midterm elections.

At one point, Harris whined about how the GOP and the Trump Administration have, in some cases, removed all the tools they’ve relied on to ‘win’ elections over the past half-century.

These ‘tools’ purging the voter rolls, beating the Democrats at their own game when it comes to gerrymandering, and ensuring more reasonable polling locations.

In short, Kamala Harris is ADMITTING Democrats have depended on illegal voters, shady vote counting, and rigged district lines to maintain power.

Now, they’re having to fight on more even ground.
