Kamala Harris Confirms She Is Considering 2028 Presidential Run

Former United States Vice President, Kamala Harris, has confirmed she is considering a run for the presidency in 2028, in what marks her clearest public statement yet about her political future.

Harris made the disclosure on Friday while speaking at the National Action Network Convention during a conversation with civil rights leader, Al Sharpton.

“Listen, I might, I might. I’m thinking about it. I’m thinking about it,” Harris said when asked if she plans to mount another White House campaign.

Harris, who was the Democratic presidential nominee in the 2024 election, has faced growing speculation over her next political move, particularly after releasing a campaign memoir in late 2025 and embarking on a nationwide book tour.

According to reports, she is also scheduled to attend Democratic Party events across four southern states later this month.

Despite previously expressing hesitation about returning to frontline politics, Harris appears to have softened her stance. In an August 2025 interview with CBS host Stephen Colbert, she said she did not “want to go back in the system.”

However, she later hinted at a possible comeback, telling BBC journalist Laura Kuenssberg: “I am not done.”

At Friday’s event, Harris received an enthusiastic reception, with attendees chanting “run again” during her remarks.
“I am thinking about (running again) but let me also say this. I served for four years being a heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States,” she said.

“I spent countless hours in my West Wing office, footsteps away from the Oval Office. I spent countless hours in the Oval Office, in the Situation Room. I know what the job is. And I know what it requires.”

Harris noted that her decision would be guided by the “work that needs to be done,” amid expectations of a crowded Democratic field.

Reflecting on her engagements across the country over the past year, she said: “I’ve been traveling the country the last year, I’ve been spent 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.”

Since leaving office, Harris has remained a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, particularly on foreign policy.

In her discussion with Sharpton, she criticised Trump’s handling of international relations, especially the ongoing tensions with Iran, which she described as a “choice.”

She further warned that Trump’s stance toward traditional allies, including NATO countries, could have far-reaching consequences.

“(It) is harmful to the people of America, not to mention people in allied nations around the world,” she said.

Harris added that the implications of Trump’s foreign policy decisions “keep me up at night.”
