A liberal columnist for USA Today is urging Democrats not to rally behind former Vice President Kamala Harris for president in 2028.
"I have no doubt in my mind that she knows what the job entails. What I doubt is that she has the backing to actually secure the presidency for the Democrats. In all of this fanfare over her potential run, my question is, 'Why?'" USA Today opinion writer Sara Pequeño said Friday. "Why is she willing to humiliate herself and the Democratic Party for a second time? Why does she think she has a better shot this time? What has she done to better the lives of people who voted for her in the months since she lost the presidential election?"
Harris renewed 2028 speculation last month during a sit-down with Al Sharpton, saying she "might" make another go for the White House.
Pequeño, who voted for Harris in 2024, called her chances of winning in 2028 "slim," telling readers, "the nation has far too much to lose to bet on her."
