Democrats turn on Kamala Harris over 2028 run as faces 'real burden'
New York Post • • nation
Key Points:
- Some Democrats are cautioning Kamala Harris against running for president again in 2028, suggesting she would face significant challenges defending her record in Washington, D.C.
- Harris, who lost decisively to Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential race, has ruled out running for California governor, a position some believe would have been a better fit and beneficial for the Democratic Party.
- The California governor's race is highly competitive with multiple candidates, and polls from last year indicated Harris would have been a strong frontrunner had she entered.
- Several prominent Democrats and former allies have been hesitant or unwilling to endorse Harris for another presidential run, expressing concerns about her viability as the party’s nominee.
- With California’s jungle primary system, Harris would need to act quickly to qualify as a write-in candidate for governor, but many believe her political future may be better suited to state leadership rather than another national campaign.
