Kamala Harris said on Friday that she is “thinking about” running for president again in 2028, offering a public hint that she may seek another White House campaign after serving as vice-president.
Speaking before a crowd at the National Action Network’s gathering in New York City, Harris said, “I might, I might. I’m thinking about it.” The event was hosted by the civil rights organization founded by Al Sharpton.
Her remarks were brief, but they immediately drew attention because they touched on one of the biggest unanswered questions in Democratic politics: whether Harris will make another bid for the presidency. At the New York event, she did not make any formal announcement, but her wording suggested that she is seriously considering the possibility.
The National Action Network, or NAN, has long served as a prominent venue for political leaders, activists, and public figures to address issues affecting civil rights and public life. Harris’s appearance there placed her remarks in front of an audience closely associated with grassroots political organizing and social advocacy.
Harris, who served as vice-president, has remained one of the most closely watched figures in national politics. Any potential campaign in 2028 would likely attract intense scrutiny and speculation well before the election year arrives. For now, however, her comments indicate only that she is weighing the idea rather than formally entering the race.
The former vice-president’s statement came during a public appearance rather than a campaign event, and she did not provide further details about timing, strategy, or whether she intends to make a decision soon. Even so, her words were enough to signal that the possibility of a presidential run remains on the table.
Her remarks at the NAN gathering may fuel discussion among supporters and political observers about what role she could play in the next presidential cycle. With the 2028 election still ahead, Harris has left the door open without committing to any course of action.
For now, the clearest takeaway from Friday’s appearance in New York is straightforward: Kamala Harris says she is thinking about another run for president.
