(Washington, DC) – Former Vice President Kamala Harris says she is leaving the door open to another presidential run in 2028, following her defeat to Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
In recent remarks, Harris acknowledged she is considering her political future and did not rule out mounting another campaign.
“I might,” Harris said when asked about a potential 2028 bid, signaling that a comeback attempt remains on the table.
Looking Ahead to 2028
Harris has largely kept a lower public profile since the 2024 race but remains a prominent figure within the Democratic Party. Allies say she continues to raise money, campaign for down-ballot Democrats, and maintain relationships with party leaders nationwide.
A 2028 run would likely place her in a competitive Democratic primary field, as several governors and senators are widely expected to weigh bids for the nomination.
Trump’s Political Shadow
Trump’s 2024 victory reshaped the political landscape and left Democrats reassessing strategy heading into the next cycle. Harris’ potential candidacy would revive many of the same debates over messaging, coalition-building, and voter turnout that defined the last race.
While some Democrats argue she would bring experience and name recognition to a future campaign, others question whether the party may look for a new face in 2028.
No Formal Announcement
Harris has not launched a campaign or formed an exploratory committee. Any decision would likely come after the 2026 midterms, when the political environment becomes clearer.
For now, her answer remains measured — but unmistakable: a return to the national stage is possible.
The 2028 race may feel distant, but the early positioning has already begun.
