Vice President Kamala Harris may be eyeing another run for the presidency, but not everyone is behind that move.
Harris recently told her advisers, “I am staying in the fight,” and is weighing her options that include another try for the White House in 2028 or a run for governor of California in 2026, according to a report in Politico.
However, Democratic strategist Theryn Bond did not hide her objection to another Harris presidential campaign in an appearance on Newsmax’s “National Report.”
Bond was asked if it was “a good idea for VP Harris to continue her political ambitions,” Mediaite reported.
“Not to run for president again in 2028. Please don’t,” Bond answered.
Bond said she couldn’t speak regarding a possible run for governor, but said she was against another presidential run.
“I can’t really speak for governor of California. Californians seem to support her significantly. We haven’t yet been able to measure what that support looks like after this current run she just had,” Bond said.
“That maybe the only thing that she, I guess, may make sense for her to consider, but another shot at the presidency, I hope she doesn’t, and if she is relying on those same advisers that advised her this cycle, that’s not who I would listen to,” Bond added.
At least one person on the opposite side of the political spectrum agrees.
“I think she might have a hand up in California because I think that’s one of the only states where she might actually have an edge,” Republican strategist Luke Ball said on the same show.
Ball added her best opportunity for political future is in California.
“She’d have high name ID, but if she ran anywhere else in the country, I don’t think she’d be able to get elected to dog catcher, unfortunately, because if I’m a donor, if I’m a Democrat, I’m looking at this race and I’m looking at the aftermath as we start to go through the autopsy of the campaign, and I’m seeing that we’re paying millions of dollars to celebrities to astroturf the campaign instead of spending that money on critical resources,” Ball said.
Harris lost to President-elect Donald Trump in both popular and electoral votes on Nov. 5.
