The former vice president was asked at Rev. Al Sharptonโs convention on Friday whether she was going to run again in 2028.
NEW YORK โ Former Vice President Kamala Harris isn’t ruling out another run for the presidency.ย
Harris, who was a presidential candidate in 2024 and ran for the Democratic nomination in 2020, said she was thinking about 2028, in response to a question Friday at Rev. Al Sharptonโs National Action Network (NAN) convention in New York.
“Are you going to run again in ’28?” Rev. Al Sharpton asked. ย
“Listen, I might. I might. I’m thinking about it. I’m thinking about it, Harris replied. “I know what the job is. I know what it requires…”ย
“I’ve been traveling the country the last year, I’ve been spending a lot of time in the south and many other places, and the one thing I’m really clear about also is the status quo is not working and hasn’t been working for a lot of people for a long time,” Harris said. “The people, they don’t want process, they want progress.”
It’s not the first time Harris has hinted at her third run for the White House. She made an even clearer indication last October during an interview with the BBC.ย
“I am not done,” the former vice president told theย BBC.ย “I have lived my entire career as a life of service and it’s in my bones.”
On the road to 2028, the Democratic Party’s leading presidential prospects are warning African Americans that President Donald Trump is actively working to undermine their right to vote in 2026. That was a central message on Thursday as some of the nation’s most ambitious Democratic politicians appeared before Black activists at Sharpton’s convention.ย
In all, more than a half-dozen potential candidates are speaking during the four-day gathering, aiming to make inroads among Black voters, who comprise one of Democratsโ most powerful blocs. The participants also included Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Maryland Gov. Wes Moore.
As they deflected questions about their 2028 intentions, the high-profile Democrats pointed to what they described as an imminent threat from the Trump administration heading into the November midterm elections.
