Kamala Harris is seriously considering a second run for president in 2028, Democratic officials say, backed by early primary polls.
“Of course she'll try to run away again,” someone said. daily mail He told the media that he is a “well-connected Democratic Party strategist.” The strategist added that Mr. Camara's ambition was just one of the factors driving the decision.
“Despite some hesitation, Ms. Harris has provoked many sympathetic responses from professional Democrats in Washington,” the newspaper reported. daily mail. “They describe her campaign as 'nearly perfect,' but say she had a hard time separating herself from President Joe Biden's record.”
“One strategist likened her to a backup quarterback in a football game who is called to victory after already trailing in the fourth quarter.''
“I think she did her best,” the strategist said.

As I wrote last week, there are pluses and minuses on her side. On the plus side, Democratic support is quite weak, with Harris reportedly receiving more votes than any presidential candidate in history except Joe Biden in 2020 and Donald Trump in 2024. are.
There's also the fact that we live in a 50-50 country, where whoever wins the nomination has a 50-50 chance of winning the presidency. Kamala is already pretty close.
The downside is her poor political skills. When it came to going off-script, Kamala didn't improve one bit. Repetition did not improve her ability to answer questions or deal with unscripted situations. It was like watching someone throw a soccer ball to a cat. No matter how many times you throw a soccer ball at your cat, your cat will never get better at catching it. I've never met anyone who couldn't get better at something through repetition.
Some Democrats seem to understand. this…
One Democratic Party spokeswoman said her rapid rise from district attorney to Senate to vice president contributed to her struggles as a candidate.
“This was someone who rose through the ranks like a meteor and her Achilles heel was not having her own political identity. That created this wariness and really confused her,” he said.
For Harris to win again, she will need to finally define herself outside of her ambitions and eliminate doubts about what she truly believes.
Another issue is the primary process. No one will give her the nomination in 2028 like they did this summer. Indeed, according to the poll linked above, she has a Democratic primary approval rating of 41 percent, with second-place Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) receiving only 8 percent support. However, he suffered a crushing defeat in the 2020 presidential election. Before even a single voter casts a vote. I highly doubt she will make it through the 2028 primary.
There's a good chance she'll emerge as the favorite, but the moment she's challenged, she'll collapse again and primary voters will be reminded of what a terrible candidate she is and won't want to take the risk. .
Will she be able to improve between now and 2028? I doubt it since she is 60 years old and it hasn't happened yet.
But it will be fun to watch. At the very least, she should adopt an English accent. That way she can spew out all the same word salad while sounding somewhat intelligent.
