Former Vice President Kamala Harris is clearly eyeing another run for president — or maybe that was just the vodka talking!
Less than 18 months after torching more than $1 billion on a 107-day campaign that ended in a landslide loss to Donald Trump, Harris told Rev. Al Sharpton that she’s considering another run.
Critics say she was slurring her words and sounded very drunk.
Speaking Friday at Sharpton’s National Action Network convention in New York City, the former vice president made her clearest signal yet that she’s preparing another White House bid.
“Listen, I might. I might. I’m thinking about it,” Harris slurred at Sharpton when he asked directly whether she planned to run in 2028.
“I served for four years being a heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States. I spent countless hours in my West Wing office, footsteps away from the Oval Office. I spent countless hours in the Oval Office and the Situation Room. I know what the job is, and I know what it requires,” she said. “I am thinking about it in the context of who and where and how can the best job be done for the American people. That’s how I’m thinking about it. I’ll keep you posted.”
The announcement drew a standing ovation at Sharpton’s convention, where more than a half-dozen other potential 2028 Democratic contenders were also auditioning, including Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
The question of whether Harris can actually win is another matter.
Her failed 2024 campaign, which she inherited from President Biden after he dropped out in July, burned through more than $1 billion in under three months. Harris’ campaign ended $20 million in debt after losing all seven battleground states.
“The truth is this is just an epic disaster, this is a $1 billion disaster,” Lindy Li, a DNC National Finance Committee member, said after the loss.
Still, Harris has been laying groundwork for a comeback since leaving office. She launched a political action committee, completed a nationwide book tour for her memoir on the 2024 campaign, and has begun traveling to key early primary states in the South, including South Carolina, Georgia, and North Carolina — all states she lost to Trump.
Fox News noted last week that her decision to skip a 2026 California gubernatorial run was widely seen as “a clearing of the runway for a 2028 presidential bid.”
Harris appeared unbothered Friday with the huge debts and landslide loss in 2024. When the crowd broke into chants of “run again!” she was clearly soaking in the praise.
Or maybe that’s just because happy hour started early.
