CNN– Former Vice President Kamala Harris confirmed Friday that she is “thinking about” running for president in 2028 at the 2026 National Action Network Convention – in her most open public remarks to date about her political future.
“Listen, I might, I might. I’m thinking about it. I’m thinking about it,” Harris told Rev. Al Sharpton when asked about whether she plans to run another White House campaign. Harris was the Democratic presidential nominee in the 2024 election.
Her comments come amid mounting speculation about what she may do next with her political career after she released a campaign memoir in late 2025 and embarked on a subsequent book tour.
Harris is also set to appear at Democratic Party events in four Southern states this month, CNN previously reported.
While Harris said in an August 2025 interview with CBS’ Stephen Colbert that she did not “want to go back in the system,” she hinted later in the year that she could make another bid for the White House, telling the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg: “I am not done.”
On Friday, Harris received a warm welcome at the progressive organizing conference steeped in civil rights history, prompting loud chants of “run again,” which briefly interrupted her remarks at one point.
“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,” Harris 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.”
She went on to lay out the “work that needs to be done” as she considers what would be a third presidential campaign, with a crowded potential field taking shape.
“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,” the former nominee said.
Since leaving the White House, Harris has continued to be an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump.
In her sit-down with Sharpton, Harris condemned Trump’s foreign policy actions, particularly the war with Iran, which she called a “choice.”
At Friday’s event, the former vice president went on to argue that Trump’s increasing bitterness toward some allies, particularly NATO countries, “is harmful to the people of America, not to mention people in allied nations around the world.”
She added that the impact of Trump’s foreign policy “keeps me up at night.”

LMAO….What messed up Kamala is that she had no ideas for the country just bashing Trump….Secondly she thought she had the black vote being mixed race..She forgot when she was district attorney in California she noticeably gave black people way more harsher sentence than the light sentence she would give to a white person for the same crime….Racism!!! She obviously ain’t messing with the black community then oh wow she wants to be President….Vote for me black people if Trump can get your votes so can Kamala….Yeah keep dreaming Sleepy Joe only used her to secure some votes and to prove that he ain’t racist LOL…
No ideas for the country is still far better than bad ideas for the country… America would be far better off right now if Trump did absolutely nothing everyday but play golf…. instead he plays with tariffs and war and underage girls. Trump is now America’s greatest ever disaster and the people who voted for him have unwittingly brought about the eventual demise of their country. USA is the next USSR in our lifetime.
@this world is a messed up place. You never know. She might have a chance. A lot of people are tired of the Republicans and a lot of the other democratic contenders are too far left for the regular Americans.
You just gotta wait and see.
I DID NOT AND COULD NOT VOTE FOR KAMALA HARRIS.LET HER RUN AGAIN.THE RESULTS WOULD BE THE SAME AS THE LAST TIME.
Looks like the only still she has is a dislike for Trump.
Guess she wants to give the Republicans another term … For the sake of all the people they influence around the world, U.S. Democrats need to abandon their far left godless agenda and come up with more useful policies closer to centre. Republicans want women at home with children. Democrats want babies dead. Why are both parties so extreme? Why can’t they just come up with family-friendly workplace policies that allow women to BOTH work AND take care of the kids in peace? And, why not get the alternative lifestyle people some help in accepting reality rather than push their agendas on everyone else?
