Former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has hinted at the possibility of another presidential bid in 2028, months after her defeat in the 2024 election.
Speaking at a National Action Network event hosted by civil rights leader Reverend Al Sharpton, Harris was asked directly about her political plans. She responded with a remark that drew applause from the audience.
“I might, I might. I’m thinking about it, I’m thinking about it,” she said.
Harris emphasized that any decision would ultimately depend on who she believes is best positioned to serve the American people, noting that leadership capability would be her guiding factor.
Harris, the Democratic Party’s nominee in 2024, lost to incumbent President Donald Trump, who secured both the popular vote and the Electoral College. Before her presidential run, she served as vice president under President Joe Biden, as a U.S. senator from California, and as California’s attorney general. She also competed for the Democratic nomination in 2020.
A potential 2028 campaign could face challenges, as recent polling suggests many Democratic voters are calling for fresh leadership following the party’s electoral setbacks.
The event also featured other prominent Democrats seen as possible contenders for 2028, including Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker.
