Many Kamala Harris Supporters In North Carolina Agree Her Political Career Is Dead In The Water

Many North Carolina Democrats have a negative outlook on former Vice President Kamala Harris’ political future, according to the Washington Post.

Some of Democratic voters in the key swing state were extremely unenthused about the prospect of Harris launching a White House bid in 2028, the Washington Post reported on Friday. The report comes as Harris has been back in the spotlight for a media blitz to promote her memoir, “107 Days,” which she released on Tuesday.

Chip Hunter, a 70-year-old psychologist, told the Washington Post that while he thinks Harris has “a place in the party in the future,” he does not “see her being the face of the party or the next candidate for president.” Similarly, Amy Ortega, a 28-year-old lawyer, told the outlet that she views Harris as part of “the past.”

“I see her as the past. … The ball was dropped, and I think it would be hard to convince me anyway that there’s a comeback from that,” Ortega told the outlet.

Victoria Peterson, a 72-year-old political activist, told the outlet that she “would hope that she would be able to represent the future, but that is part of my concern.”

“Not really hearing enough about her really on the grass-roots level. … People really did not really get a chance to really get to know her,” Peterson added.
