Vice President Kamala Harris faces mounting opposition from her own party as top Democrats refuse to endorse her potential 2028 presidential campaign, with several lawmakers warning her candidacy could damage the party’s chances of retaking the White House.
Party Leaders Express Deep Concerns
Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren avoided committing to Harris when questioned about 2028, stating she remains focused on the 2026 midterms. Louisiana Representative Troy Carter went further, declaring he cannot support anyone yet because the field remains wide open. Behind closed doors, Democratic concerns have grown sharper. One anonymous House Democrat told reporters they would prefer Harris pursue a gubernatorial position instead, adding that many colleagues share real concerns about her securing the nomination. Another party member questioned whether Harris’s candidacy would benefit the country or the party, despite her obvious name recognition among voters.
The skepticism stems largely from Harris’s 2024 performance, when she lost all seven swing states to Donald Trump. The former president improved his 2020 margins in every state and Washington, DC. Harris became the Democratic nominee after President Joe Biden withdrew just 107 days before the general election. Despite the losses, Harris signaled interest in running again at the National Action Network convention earlier this month, telling attendees she is considering another White House bid.
Some Democrats Still Back Harris
Not all Democrats have turned against Harris. Texas Representative Sylvia Garcia offered strong support, arguing Harris deserves another chance and comparing her favorably to other potential candidates from both parties. Mississippi Representative Bennie Thompson echoed this sentiment while emphasizing that the real question centers on electability rather than eligibility. Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin suggested a competitive primary would strengthen whoever emerges as the nominee, indicating multiple candidates will likely enter the race. Even some Republicans weighed in mockingly, with Louisiana Senator John Kennedy joking he would start raising money to encourage Harris to run.
Polling Numbers Show Uphill Battle
Harris faces significant obstacles even in her home state of California. A recent UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies survey found Governor Gavin Newsom leading potential Democratic contenders with 28 percent support. Harris received just 9 percent, trailing Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. The polling suggests Harris would enter a crowded primary field without the frontrunner status typically afforded to former vice presidents. Democrats appear divided on whether to rally behind Harris or seek fresh leadership for 2028.
I’m not an American citizen, but I try my best to keep up was the USA politics, but I believe the Democrats haven’t a cat in hell chance of taking control of either house, in the Midterm election, but it gets even worse for them, in the 2028 Presidential election, if they cannot find just one candidate within the Democratic world, that believes in America like President Trump, when you considerer all the different people within the MAGA world, that could be considered as a runner for the White House, the gap between the Democrat’s and the Republican’s is vast, just like the Grand Canyon, it’s totally impossible for the Democrats to fill that gap in two years.
I believe the American citizens have finally woken up to the games the Democrats have played over the last 5 decades, they play the game of ‘them and us’ but the Republican believe in bringing everyone together, it doesn’t matter as to what Party you belong too, they believe the country comes first, as without a country you have nothing but scraps to fight over.
The fact that nothing President Trump does, is ever good enough for the Democrat politicians, but they cannot even state something better, it’s spend! spend! spend! other people’s money, with a larger Government, I haven’t heard anything regarding any new policies, but Trump is BAD! But that’s not going to be good enough in the Midterm election and in 2028.
The MSM are anti-American, they have been proven to be wrong, so many times that I’ve lost count now, but they are now starting to feel the damage they have committed on themselves, lower readership and viewing numbers, CNN are the only ones to have started to move a little over to the Right of Center, they know what’s coming if they don’t charge their way of thinking.
I’m just wondering how long it’s going to be, before a charge of ‘Aiding the Enemy’ in the time of war, hit’s one of them. All this nonsense about, President Trump doesn’t have a get out plan with Iran, they know that it’s impossible for him to hit back on this ridiculous nonsense, what do they expect him to say, spell out every move that he’s going to take, so it can be on every news channel and front page, to give the enemy prior notice, so they can be ready and waiting, but they push this story, as they know he cannot fight back, but if the truth was actually told, they really hate America!
I don’t have a dog in the fight, I can only say what I can actually see, it’s not good for the USA citizens!
‘God Bless America’.
