Kamala Harris Hints at 2028 Run, Touts Herself as a Historic Figure in NY Times

Kamala Harris Hints at 2028 Run, Touts Herself as a Historic Figure in NY Times

The New York Times just did a piece on former Vice President Kamala Harris, which, in addition to being typical liberal media fan-fiction, hints that Kamala Harris is not finished with national politics – at least in her own mind.

The NY Times piece is behind a paywall, but luckily, the Seattle Times also ran the story:

Kamala Harris isn’t ready to be written off

The one thing that Kamala Harris absolutely, definitely, most certainly does not want to talk about is whether she is thinking about running for president again.

“It’s three years from nooooow,” the former vice president pleaded in an interview last month, backstage at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn., before one of the final stops on her nationwide book tour. “I mean, honestly.”

Harris is busy selling books — a lot of them. She is not yet selling herself.

Former advisers have squinted from afar at her book tour, wondering what exactly her strategy is, or if there is any at all. She has done little to distance herself from former President Joe Biden besides admitting aloud that it was “recklessness” on her part not to have discouraged him from running again. There has been virtually none of the strategic repackaging that a future candidate typically does.

Defeat hit Harris deeply. She had not felt such grief since the death of her mother, she has said. She spent the early months of 2025 cooking and cocooning away from the cameras.

(I think I know another way she passed the time.)

Friends and allies swear she is more relaxed now. She is certainly more relaxed about swearing.

On a recent long-form podcast, Harris let fly a two-word phrase — rhyming with “bucket” — to describe her new ethos. She says she is now on her “freedom tour.”

This is Kamala Harris unleashed. But it is still Kamala Harris, the profanity a proxy for plain-spokenness. She is the first woman to serve as vice president, and well attuned to the double standards of gender and race.

Harris is a historic political figure based on her gender and race, but she clearly thinks she has a special political talent.

FOX News provides more details on the interview:

Kamala Harris declares herself a ‘historic’ figure: ‘There will be a marble bust of me’

Former Vice President Kamala Harris declared herself to be a “historic figure” on Tuesday and touted that there will be a marble bust of her constructed in Congress.

Harris made the statement during an interview with The New York Times regarding her upcoming book, “107 Days,” telling the newspaper that she no longer feels “burdened” by the need to achieve a place in history.

“I understand the focus on ’28 and all that,” she told the Times. “But there will be a marble bust of me in Congress. I am a historic figure like any Vice President of the United States ever was.”

“Thousands of people are coming to hear my voice. Thousands and thousands,” she added about her book tour. “Every place we’ve gone has been sold out.”

Harris is making a huge mistake if she thinks voters will want to see more of her in 2028.

Don’t forget – in 2020, she never even made it to the first Democrat contest in Iowa.
