Remembering Kamala Harris’s 2024 Presidential Campaign While She Ruminates about Running Again

Before examining some more of her statements about 2028, let us look back at her 2024 campaign now that the dust has settled for two years.

Kamala Harris was/is absolutely THE worst retail politician at the presidential level in American history; she simply has no ability whatsoever to connect with real people. The more her ghost campaign in 2024 allowed her to be exposed to the public during the campaign, the more obvious that fact became. She was outed as being unable to speak extemporaneously or answer even the most basic softball questions in obviously Kamala-friendly staged circumstances.

She ran a completely fake and staged campaign. The Democrats thought that they could run a “basement campaign” like they did with the Hologram in 2020 but forgot that most Americans had/have no idea who Kamala is or what policies she supports (or doesn’t support). When finally forced by tanking poll numbers to give interviews to explain her policies and answer pointed questions, she bombed them in cringeworthy fashion. “Word salad” entered the political lexicon in 2024 thanks to Kamala Harris!

Her entire campaign narrative revolved around two issues: “Trump is a nazi” and abortion. That’s really all she had in the final analysis. She failed in giving voters a real reason to vote for her on the policy front because the issues she championed throughout her career were/are leftwing fringe issues, e.g., taxpayer-paid transgender surgery for the incarcerated, taxing unrealized capital gains, abortion on demand at any time during pregnancy, open borders, mass amnesty for illegal aliens, suppression of dissenting political speech, gun control, etc. Claiming Trump and his supporters to be nazis turned off all fair-minded Americans and failed to resonate with all but the most rabid of people who were already going to vote for her anyway.

Her anointment as the Democrat candidate without having earned a single vote in the Democrat primaries completely undercut the multi-year Democrat narrative of “saving our democracy” by voting against the supposedly authoritarian (nazi) Trump. If anything, the Democrats demonstrated that they are the REAL anti-democracy party in their elevation of Kamala without any input from Democrat voters, as well as in their failed efforts to kick Trump off the ballot in several Democrat-controlled states.

She is STILL genuinely unlikeable by many discerning people not captured by DEI/identity politics. Kamala was and STILL IS the quintessential DEI candidate! Biden picked her as his vice presidential running mate expressly due to her gender and minority status, not based on anything remotely approaching merit. And many people recognized in her the DEI hires in their own lives in recent years who were/are completely unqualified for their positions. Most Americans support equal opportunity based on merit; DEI practices are increasingly seen to be divisive, unfair, and un-American.

During the 2024 campaign, Biden-Harris spent over $1.7 billion while Trump spent $355 million. Trump’s strategy of exploiting and dominating earned media, engaging with popular podcasters and alternative media, and publicly campaigning every single day this year won the day. Harris’s ghost campaign relied on nearly 100% legacy media support and paid commercials that conveyed platitudes and anesthetized voters while minimizing Harris’s direct exposure to the American people and independent media. Harris’s traditional campaign model failed to deliver the goods while Trump’s messaging and outreach was brilliantly successful.

In the final analysis, Kamala did not outperform Joe Biden in a single state (somewhere, Jill Biden is smiling about that). She underperformed among black and Latino men, suburban women, blue -collar workers, independents, and younger voters. Her low energy campaign simply did not energize the Democrat base and deliver the typical Democrat turnout witnessed in presidential elections in the recent past.

The handwringing and navel-gazing among Democrats and their legacy media sycophants after the blowout was epic to watch! The standard reasons included racism, misogyny, selection of a bad running mate (the communist Walz), Biden undermining her campaign and not stepping aside soon enough, and other poor excuses that ignore reality.

The bottom line for Kamala and her supporters is that they will never enter the fifth stage of grief (acceptance) until they understand the real reasons why she was blown out. Fortunately for the rest of us, they are stuck on racism and misogyny and won’t be giving up their identity politics any time soon. The DSA will consume them all while they navel-gaze on would-a, could-a, should-a.

CONCLUDING THOUGHTS

Kamala Harris has repeatedly left the door open to a 2028 presidential run, with her clearest and most recent public comments coming in April 2026.

On 10 April 2026, at the National Action Network convention in New York City (hosted by Rev. Al Sharpton), Harris was asked directly if she would run again in 2028. She replied: “Listen, I might. I might. I’m thinking about it. I’m thinking about it.” She emphasized her experience as vice president (“I served for four years being a heartbeat away from the presidency… I spent countless hours in the Oval Office, in the Situation Room. I know what the job is. And I know what it requires”), noted that the “status quo is not working” for many people based on her travels, and said any decision would focus on who can best serve the American people rather than personal ambition. She closed with “I’ll keep you posted.” The crowd responded with chants of “run again.”

This was widely described by the legacy media and Democrat supporters as her strongest and most explicit signal to date. nbcnews.com

Her earlier statements were more noncommittal but consistent in not ruling it out:

• In an October 2025 BBC interview, she said, “I am not done” and that a woman (possibly her) would become president in her grandnieces’ lifetime. [Note: she has no natural children.]washingtonexaminer.com
• Around the same period (and into late 2025/early 2026 interviews, including with Kara Swisher and Sharon McMahon), she used phrases such as “Maybe. Maybe not,” “I haven’t decided,” and “I might.”

Harris has not yet announced another run and has focused publicly on midterm elections, Democratic organizing, and related issues. Speculation continues amid early polling that sometimes shows her as a frontrunner due to name recognition, mixed reactions within the party (including some preference for fresher faces), and her decision not to run for California governor in 2026.

The Republican National Committee probably prays for a repeat run given her incoherent speech and demonstrated ineptitude, but the Democrats are not known for giving a loser a second chance. We shall soon see, as the prevailing Democrat political winds are from “left field” (i.e., the Democratic Socialists of America). abcnews.com

The end.
