Support for a 2028 presidential run forformer Vice President Kamala Harrisis dwindling, another bombshell report has revealed.
Political allies and former aides have all shied away from a full-throated endorsement of the failed 2024 presidential nominee, and now it seems her financial backers and sponsors feel the same way, theLos Angeles Timesreported.
In scathing interviews from former fundraisers and donors who gave more than $1 million to her 2024 campaign, many seemed to look away rather than embrace her as a contender.
“I think it is too early to pick a favorite in the 2028 race, but Kamala Harris will not be my candidate,” one donor, who was granted anonymity, told the outlet. “I don’t think she would appeal to a swing voter, and we need swing voters to win.”
In 2024,Harris became the Democratic nomineefor president just 107 days before the general election after an aging then-President Joe Biden was all but forced out following a disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump, who went on to win the popular vote andsweep all seven battleground states.
“I don’t think it’s a helpful narrative [for 2028] to start with the 2024 hangover,” one anonymous fundraiser for Harris’s 2024 campaign said.
“There is an enormous appetite for new blood — something fresh, something that really represents the future, not the past.”
There are already many names being floated as possible Democratic contenders for the White House in 2028.
Harris, whoruled out a run for governor of her home state, has hinted at a possible presidential campaign, saying she “might” run.
But while she may be considering it, others in her circle — including former backers and supporters — may not be ready to line up behind her.
