Kamala Harris Keeps Her Options Open for 2028

Jonathan Martin: “Those who talk to her regularly say she’s truly undecided — at least as far as they can tell. Harris isn’t even engaged in conversations right now about a 2028 bid, I’m told by those close to her. The prolonged book tour has been easy to justify on the merits — she fills almost every venue in which she speaks. And it puts off the day when she has to consider travel, an agenda and policy proposals for the eventual political entity she could stand up…”

“Conversations here with a range of moderate Democrats at a conference put on by the centrist group Third Way last week revealed Harris to be a political non-entity. She’s leading in seemingly every early survey, but few elected officials, strategists or activists volunteered her name when discussing 2028. And when I’d bring her up, Democrats either said they doubted she’d run or that she would struggle if she did.”
