Democrat strategist Theryn Bond has spoken against a possible 2028 Kamala Harris presidential run.
Discussing Harris’ recent statement to advisers that she intends to stay “in the fight,” Bond told Newsmax, “Not to run for president again in 2028. Please don’t.”
“I can’t really speak for governor of California. Californians seem to support her significantly,” she continued. “We haven’t yet been able to measure what that support looks like after this current run she just had. That may be the only thing that she, I guess, may make sense for her to consider, but another shot at the presidency, I hope she doesn’t, and if she is relying on those same advisers that advised her this cycle, that’s not who I would listen to.”
A Democratic strategist familiar with Harris’ statement recently told The Daily Mail, “Of course she’s going to try and run again.”
Former Harris aide Brian Brokaw told Politico, “Could she run for governor? Yes. Do I think she wants to run for governor? Probably not. Could she win? Definitely. Would she like the job? I don’t know. Could she run for president again? Yes. Would she have a whole bunch of skepticism from the outset, because she has run in a full-length Democratic primary where [in 2019] she didn’t even make it long enough to be in the Iowa caucus, and then she was the nominee this year?”
