Kamala Harris just gave the Democratic Party the most explicit sign yet she'll run for president in 2028:

  • "Listen, I might, I might. I'm thinking about it," Harris told the Rev. Al Sharpton at the National Action Network convention on Friday, when he asked her whether she will run again in 2028. "I'll keep you posted," she said as she walked off the stage.

    Former VPOTUS Kamala Harris was received with the most enthusiasm from the audience attending the National Action Network compared to any of the Democrats who spoke earlier this week, including Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA).

    At one point, the crowd in the packed ballroom repeatedly chanted, "Run again! Run again!"

    Later, the cheers for Harris grew to such a tenor, Sharpton jokingly admonished the crowd: "This is a convention, not a revival."

    So the Dems want to hand the election to the Repubs on a silver platter, I guess.

    Still banking on "not Trump" as the winning "strategy"...

    Just find a new Candidate. Reruns of losers is a losing strategy.

    It must still be "Her Turn".

    Hi JPW:

    What you wrote was basically the strategy of Zohran Mamdani's challengers in the 2025 race for NYC Mayor (in which he received the most number of eligible votes in a mayoral race since the early 1970s):

    "I'm Not the Muslim."

    NYC is home to the most Jews outside Israel and the most Muslims in the US, and yet this young man beat Andrew Cuomo by almost 10%.

    The 2028 DNC convention should be as large as a tent possible, including Arabs, Muslims, and antiwar Samaritans.

    In 2024, gunshot victims took the stage on Day Three in Chicago.

    In 2028, military veterans should take the stage on Day Three to argue against the "Forever Wars," the way Ron Kovic did in Madison Square Garden in 1976.

    If I had my drothers, I would pick two retired apolitical four-star Generals or Admirals to be the 2028 POTUS and VPOTUS candidates with this simple platform and un-a** what Dummkopf Trumpf did to us:

  • On 20 Jan 2029 by Executive Order, immediately dismantle DHS and ICE (and purge the records they collected without a warrant).

  • Stop funding Israel.

  • Re-hire all military, FBI, USIC, and USAID personnel that lost their careers because of Dummkopf Trumpf (and waive the retirement age)

  • Implement the necessary legislation to finally establish universal healthcare, as enjoyed by the residents of Germany, Israel, Greenland, Canada, Taiwan, and tiny Albania.

    "A staggering 19 million people who voted for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on Tuesday 3 Nov 2020 stayed home on Tuesday 5 Nov 2024, though the direct vote deficit for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz was roughly seven million in some estimates." (Source: The Nation, 10 April 2025)


    The US antiwar movement is as old as the American Revolution itself. US midterm elections are scheduled for Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

    I think most agree that it would be a disaster, albeit for different reasons, if the Democrats nominated her again. As for running in the primary, that's fine. It would give a better candidate the chance to knock her out early and gain momentum.

    I'm not really sure what your point is.

    Mamdani had the pleasure of running against the disgraced ex-governor of NY. The people had had enough of him and they showed that at the polls.

    You put up a has been like Harris AGAIN, and you'll get the same response AGAIN. People will stay home. If anything, Mamdani showed that people are tired of voting for Giant Douche or Turd Sandwich, which was already a lesson that should have been learned in 2024.

    I don't think any woman can win, at least not as a Democrat.

    I mean, I'd love to be wrong about that, but it would take an Obama level groundswell of public support, who proved me wrong that we'd never have a Black President.

    He also had the DNC and GOP and NYC billionaires all campaigning against him.

    The DNC hates progressives. Their elite donors don't want to pay taxes.

    Can you believe the president of Mexico is providing all Mexicans with universal healthcare.

    In America we're still making excuse about why we can't afford it while our nation spends billions a day on war.

    Both parties are controlled by the rich and we're treated as a burden to our nation.

    That's nice in theory, but many Mexicans will tell you that public hospitals and clinics are useless for preventative or routine care.

    White House aspirants that condemn America's "Forever Wars" in the Middle East, ethnic cleansing, and perpetual irrational Islamophobia will make excellent POTUS and congressional candidates in future elections. Some examples of that have already manifested themselves in 2025 and the 2026 primary races.

    Progressives vote for decency, not the candidate's skin color, gender, or faith.

    If they nominate a moderate they'll lose the election again.

    Definitely agree.

    Harris also had the challenge of not being black enough for some.

    With morons like Boaz insisting she wasn't Black.

    A first generation Jamaican / Southeast Asian woman has plenty of obstacles in America.

    Harris has accomplished a lot in her life.

    More than most Americans ever will.

    Newsflash: She'd have to make it through an actual primary and current Dem polling numbers are mostly meaningless. Don't fret - she will not be your party's candidate in 2028.

    Just one sample from the Internet:

    "James Talarico is the future of the Democratic Party. He unites working people of all kinds to take on the billionaires who are making life unaffordable. He's going to show Texas Republicans how powerful working people are when we stand together. On to victory in November."

    I'm a big fan of Talarico.

    I'd gladly vote for him for potus.

    But let's see how he does in November.

    I'm not sure Texas is willing to have free and fair elections.

    Republicans will pull shenanigans for sure.

    Clownshack:

    As you would no doubt vote for Zohran Mamdani if you lived in the Big Apple.

    Let the Texas Republicans destroy each other in the primaries.

    Voter turnout may increase for a non-AIPAC candidate in the Lone Star State this November.

    One AI snapshot:

    "In presidential elections, Texas typically sees an average voter turnout of about 45.2% of eligible voters, which is higher than turnout in other state-level elections in Texas.

    For general elections overall, including midterms and local elections, turnout can be much lower. For example, in the 2022 general election, only about 42% of eligible Texas voters cast ballots, marking one of the lowest turnout rates in the nation.

    Primary elections tend to have even lower participation, though recent Texas primaries have seen record-breaking turnout compared to previous years.

    In summary, the average voter turnout across all elections in Texas likely falls in the range of 40-45%, with presidential elections drawing the highest participation and other elections generally lower."

    Trump won by maintaining a voting block while degrading and letting the DNC degrade their voting block.

    Yes, that "minor lead" could absolutely hold over if someone like Harris is nominated again and people are too disgusted to vote.

    Trump won the popular vote by about 1 percent... it's the Electoral College that turns that into more of a mandate than it really is.
