Kamala Harris has indicated she is considering another run for the White House in 2028. Speaking at the National Action Network convention in New York City on Friday, the former vice-president said: “I might, I might. I’m thinking about it.”
Harris, who lost the 2024 election to Donald Trump, reflected on her experience: “I served for four years being a heartbeat away from the presidency … I know what the job is and what it requires.” She criticised the status quo, arguing that it “is not working and hasn’t been working for a lot of people for a long time.”
The former Democratic nominee also took aim at President Trump, calling him “the first president of the United States since World War Two who does not believe in the alliances that we have with friendly nations.” On US military action in Iran, she described it as a “war of choice” that makes America “weaker, unreliable and less influential.”
Harris warned of threats to voting rights, predicting the Supreme Court may “kill” Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which she said would remove a key legal tool to challenge racially motivated voting laws. She urged voters to check their registration and polling locations now, noting that some sites have been closed.
Harris is not alone in eyeing a 2028 run. Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, also speaking at the convention, suggested he may launch a campaign. Other potential Democratic contenders appearing this week include Maryland Governor Wes Moore, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.
