Vice President Kamala Harris, fresh off her spectacular flameout in the 2024 election, is doubling down. Instead of heading into a quiet retirement, she’s determined to stay “in the fight,” hinting that she might not be done with her political ambitions just yet. The whispering begins: could a run for the presidency in 2028 be in the cards? Reports suggest that even some Democrats are sweating this prospect, including strategist Theryn Bond, who likely has her hands full trying to keep the party afloat.
According to reports, Harris is contemplating various political paths, including a potential run for governor of California in a few years. The VP is expected to strategize over the holidays with her family, as if that will somehow resurrect her prospects after leading the Democrats into a catastrophic defeat. Those in her inner circle, speaking anonymously of course—because who wouldn’t want to publicly associate with her at this point—say the VP has some soul-searching to do. After her meteoric rise to the top of the Democratic ticket and subsequent plummet, the holidays could be filled with not-so-jolly deliberations on how to maintain her political relevance.
One former aide suggested that Harris doesn’t need to rush her decision and that it would be wise for her to establish a platform to give speeches and keep her networks engaged. However, for someone who has reportedly used the term “unshackled” to describe her re-election campaign, one has to wonder how much those political relationships will help now that she’s demonstrated a knack for losing elections. For a woman who was supposed to inspire a new generation of voters, there’s a lot to be desired in the current state of her popularity.
Harris Reportedly Considering Another Presidential Run. One Dem Strategist Has a Message for Her.

During a recent segment on National Report, questions arose about the wisdom of Harris pursuing another presidential bid. The response was illuminating: don’t do it—please! The reality is that even within her own party, the call for her political ambitions to take a backseat is becoming a chorus. It appears Democrats might be hoping this saga ends well before 2028, tracking Harris’ dismal campaign performance like an uninvited guest at a party hungry for attention.
The discussion surrounding a gubernatorial run for California is equally murky. While Bond noted that some Californians seem to support Harris, her previous campaign was such a disaster it’s tough to gauge if that support is even remaining. With her previous advisors leading her down a path straight to electoral purgatory, one has to consider how much they value their political careers if they plan to stick with Harris. Thus, the prospect of Kamala Harris remaining in the political spotlight could stir up more than just laughs from conservatives eagerly watching this political fiasco unfold.
