Overview
On Friday at the National Action Network convention, Kamala Harris told the Rev. Al Sharpton she 'might' run for president in 2028 and said 'I am thinking about it.'
Harris, the nation's first Black female vice president and the Democrats' 2024 presidential nominee, drew the largest crowd and a standing ovation at the event.
Sharpton said Harris won more votes in 2024 than Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, and Harris has launched a political action committee and traveled to support Democrats, especially across the South.
Other potential 2028 contenders at the conference included Govs. Josh Shapiro, JB Pritzker and Wes Moore, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Rep. Ro Khanna and Sens. Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego.
Harris said she is considering who can best do the job for the American people and told attendees, 'I'll keep you posted,' leaving a decision unresolved while other candidates emphasized focus on midterm elections.
Analysis
Center-leaning sources frame these pieces by foregrounding momentum and sympathy: in the Harris dispatch editorial choices—emphatic verbs, crowd detail and selective emphasis on her polling lead—present her as having an early advantage; in the Cuba interview, language that labels Díaz‑Canel “defiant” and vivid human‑impact details emphasize Cuban suffering and diplomatic ambiguity.
