Kamala Harris eyes re-run for White House: report

Vice President Kamala Harris is eyeing a potential second attempt at taking the White House, according to a report Monday.

Politico claimed the Democratic nominee who was soundly beaten by President-elect Donald Trump is considering returning to the campaign trail in 2028.

Harris has been spending the post-election with family and aides in Hawaii, according to the report.

“Privately, the vice president has been instructing advisers and allies to keep her options open — whether for a possible 2028 presidential run, or even to run for governor in her home state of California in two years,” the report stated.

Five people Politico claimed were in Harris’ inner circle shared her plans with the outlet.

“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”

Number one on Harris’ agenda is reinventing her role in the Democratic Party, the report said.

“There will be a desire to hear her voice, and there won’t be a vacuum for long,” a person close to Harris said.

“You just got to let them marinate in their own success, their own failures or their own mistakes or their achievements. This is personal,” Donna Brazile, who was campaign manager for Al Gore, said. Gore also lost a run to be a Democratic president.

She said Harris had earned “a lot of political capital. You don’t squander that by making snap decisions.”

“There is no one — no one — who actually can relate to what she’s been through these last four months. No one,” Democratic pollster Paul Maslin said.

“And I wouldn’t begrudge her at all to take some time and figure this out.”

Aides admitted to Politico that some Democrats are not delighted at the prospect of another Harris run.

“I can’t conceivably imagine the party turning to her a second time,” said one strategist.

But they said she won 74 million votes and built strong support among much of the country.

“She proved a lot of skeptics wrong as a political athlete. And her standing with the public is as good as any Democrats with the name I.D. that she has,” one said.
