Vice President Kamala Harris allegedly told associates she was \u201cstaying in the fight\u201d and considering a 2028 presidential campaign or a California gubernatorial run in 2026, prompting Democratic strategist Theryn Bond to urge Harris not to run for president again.<\/p>\n
During an interview on Newsmax\u2019s National Report, Bond said \u201cplease don\u2019t\u201d when asked if Harris should run for president again in 2028.<\/p>\n
Host Emma Rechenberg asked: \u201cThe Vice president has been instructing advisers and allies to keep her options open. That could be a possible 2028 presidential run or even a run for governor in her home state of California in two years. Harris has reportedly repeating in phone calls, quote, \u2018I\u2019m staying in the fight.\u2019 Let\u2019s talk about it now with our political panelists. Theryn Bond joins us now, a Democratic strategist and Luke Ball is a Republican strategist. So two different perspectives here. Is this a good idea for VP Harris to continue her political ambitions?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNot to run for president again in 2028, please don\u2019t. I can\u2019t really speak for governor of California. Californians seem to support her significantly. We haven\u2019t yet been able to measure what that support looks like after this current run she just had. That may be the only thing that she \u2014 I guess, may make sense for her to consider. But another shot at the presidency, I hope she doesn\u2019t. And if she is relying on those same advisers that advised her this cycle, that\u2019s not who I would listen to,\u201d Bond responded.<\/p>\n
After Harris lost to President-elect Donald Trump, Republican strategist Luke Ball concurred that a California gubernatorial campaign might be her only chance, stating, \u201cI think she might have a hand up in California because I think that\u2019s one of the only states where she might actually have an edge.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I think she might have a hand up in California because I think that\u2019s one of the only states where she might actually have an edge. She\u2019d have high name ID. But if she ran anywhere else in the country, I don\u2019t think she\u2019d be able to get elected to dog catcher, unfortunately,\u201d Ball began.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause if I\u2019m a donor, if I\u2019m a Democrat, I\u2019m looking at this race and I\u2019m looking at the aftermath as we start to go through the autopsy of the campaign, and I\u2019m seeing that we\u2019re paying millions of dollars to celebrities to astroturf the campaign instead of spending that money on critical resources Even like the DNC, if I\u2019m on that side of the political aisle, I\u2019m wondering why can\u2019t we give that to staff members as opposed to sending it to celebrities?\u201d Ball added.<\/p>\n
\u201cPaying $5,000 for having their nails done. Like the RNC went through this just over a year ago and we cleaned house ahead of the election. And I think that if I\u2019m a Democrat strategist and I\u2019m operating within the DNC, I\u2019m having the same thought process. We have to have a come to Jesus meeting and figure out number one, who the heck is the leader of our party? Number two, what sort of drastic changes are we going to make to position ourselves to come up in this next upcoming midterm election and start to change the direction of the country from our perspective? So I don\u2019t think Kamala Harris is going to have a shot at a national campaign anymore,\u201d Ball concluded.<\/p>\n
WATCH:<\/p>\n\n
Earlier this month, Trump trolled Harris\u2019 campaign after reports said it was in debt for as much as $20 million, though she spent $1 billion in a losing effort.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am very surprised that the Democrats, who fought a hard and valiant fight in the 2020 Presidential Election, raising a record amount of money, didn\u2019t have lots of $\u2019s left over,\u201d\u00a0Trump posted on X.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow they are being squeezed by vendors and others. Whatever we can do to help them during this difficult period, I would strongly recommend we, as a Party and for the sake of desperately needed UNITY, do,\u201d he continued, \u201cWe have a lot of money left over in that our biggest asset in the campaign was \u2018Earned Media,\u2019 and that doesn\u2019t cost very much. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!\u201d<\/p>\n
Harris far outraised Trump but in the end, a majority of voters sided with him, giving him a massive electoral college victory as well as the national vote.<\/p>\n
