🪳 Just when you think you've got rid of them, they just keep coming back. 

Former Vice President Kamala Harris has revealed that she “might” run for president again in 2028.

While speaking at a conference in New York alongside Reverend Al Sharpton on Friday, Harris hinted her bid for the presidency may not be over.

“Listen, I might. I’m thinking about it,” Harris said in response to a question about running in the next presidential election.

The most telling part of her comments was the NAN crowd clapping after she spoke.

“Let me also say this. I served for four years being a heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States. I spent countless hours in my West Wing office, footsteps away from the Oval Office. I spent countless hours in the Oval Office, in the Situation Room. I know what the job is. And I know what it requires,” Harris said.

“I’ve been traveling in the country the last year, I’ve been spending a lot of time in the South and many other places. And the one thing I’m really clear about also is, the status quo is not working, and hasn’t been working for a lot of people for a long time,” she added.

Harris lost to President Donald Trump in the 2024 election after replacing then-President Joe Biden atop the Democrat ticket. Prior to her loss, Harris previously ran for the Democrat nomination in 2020 but was unsuccessful before Biden selected her as his running mate

Harris has since maintained a relatively low public profile since her 2024 defeat, passing over the opportunity to run for governor of California, which added to the speculation that may be attempting to preserve her option to run again in 2028.

“I served for four years being a heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States. I spent countless hours in my West Wing office footsteps away from the Oval Office. I spent countless hours in the Oval Office and the situation room. I know what the job is, and I know what it requires,” Harris said.

“I am thinking about it in the context of who and where and how can the best job be done for the American people. That’s how I’m thinking about it. I’ll keep you posted,” she continued.

Among the other Democrat contenders are Governor Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.), Governor Josh Shapiro (D-Penn.), Governor Wes Moore (D-Md.), and Senator Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), many of whom spoke at the conference in New York this week.
