A report based on interviews with more than two dozen Harris campaign staffers, former White House aides, elected Democrats, political operatives, and donors found mostly negative reactions to a possible Harris 2028 run. Aside from her close advisers, few people spoke enthusiastically about another campaign. Some praised Harris on the record but requested background to offer more candid assessments of her political future. Several interviewees predicted she might run, but argued that she should not. Harris has kept the door open by saying she is thinking about running, including remarks to Rev. Al Sharpton, and she has remained visible through a well-attended speaking tour and a best-selling book.
"I spoke with two dozen Harris campaign staffers, White House aides, elected Dems, operatives, and donors about whether Kamala Harris should run for president in 2028. Aside from her own advisers, none spoke enthusiastically about another campaign. Many with careers in Democratic politics asked to remain anonymous. Some, after praising Harris on the record, asked to speak on background to give more candid opinions about her political future, McLaughlin wrote."
"After being asked about another Harris run, following her 2024 loss to President Donald Trump, one former Harris campaign advisor said, It's obviously a bad idea. A former White House aide predicted Harris would likely run, but that doesn't mean she should. Absolutely not, the former aide said about a round two campaign. Harris is keeping the door open to a 2028 run."
"Harris has enjoyed a well-attended speaking tour since her 2024 loss, as well as a book that's sold more than half a million copies. I have spoken to maybe one person out of a hundred who thinks she should run, one former Harris advisor told Vanity Fair. Whether it's former campaign colleagues, people around DC, or just people around the country"
