Kamala Harris said on Friday that she is “thinking about” running for president again in 2028, offering her clearest public signal yet that she may seek a return to the White House.
The former vice-president and 2024 Democratic candidate made the remark during a gathering of the National Action Network in New York City. The civil rights organization was founded by Al Sharpton.
Speaking to the crowd, Harris said: “I might, I might. I’m thinking about it.”
The comment comes as questions continue to circulate about the Democratic field for the next presidential contest. Harris has not formally announced a campaign, but her words left open the possibility that she could join the race.
The event in New York placed Harris alongside a political audience closely attuned to the party’s future, and her remarks quickly drew attention because of her standing as both a former vice-president and the Democratic nominee in 2024.
Harris was not the only figure to hint at a potential White House bid. Pete Buttigieg also suggested he may launch a campaign, adding to early speculation about possible contenders for 2028.
For now, Harris’s message was measured rather than definitive. She did not make a formal announcement, but she made clear that the idea of another presidential run is under active consideration.
The 2028 election remains years away, but public comments from prominent Democrats are already shaping the conversation around the party’s next chapter. Harris’s remarks, delivered in a brief exchange at the National Action Network gathering, mark a notable step in that discussion.
