Kamala Harris adviser pushes back on 2028 presidential run critics
Fox News • • nation
Key Points:
- Veteran Democratic strategist Maria Cardona defended Kamala Harris against criticism from party insiders who argue she has failed to reinvent herself politically after her 2024 presidential loss.
- Some Democrats, including strategists and donors, remain skeptical about Harris' future prospects, saying she has not distinguished herself since her defeat and "totally blew it" by not engaging enough in the political mix.
- Cardona highlighted Harris' policy proposals such as expanding the Supreme Court, lowering the voting age to 16, and statehood for D.C. and Puerto Rico as groundbreaking initiatives that counter claims of stagnation.
- Harris has been actively campaigning for Democrats in the 2024 midterms and engaging with key voter groups, despite some candidates in red states distancing themselves from her.
- If Harris runs again in 2028, she will benefit from high name recognition and party goodwill but will face challenges from a Democratic base eager to move past recent election setbacks and a crowded primary field.
