‘The View’ Panel Debates Possible Harris Run in ’28
Sandra Rhodes · Oct 16, 2026 · 2 min read

The co-hosts of “The View” offered their take on whether former Vice President Kamala Harris should run on the Democratic ticket for president in 2028.
And not all were in agreement.
“The Wall Street Journal reports Harris has taken steps that would enable her to run, and that her husband Doug [Emhoff] has privately said he doesn’t want her to,” Sunny Hostinsaid.
Ana Navarro jumped in, saying she recently spoke with Harris, a longtime friend.
“Let me say this — number one, if Kamala Harris wants to run, I sure as hell am not telling her she can’t or she shouldn’t. She is the highest ranking woman ever elected in U.S. history,” Navarro said.
“She came damn close to winning in what was a very difficult campaign run in 107 days. I do not believe that Doug Emhoff is saying that he doesn’t want her to run because, these two met and got married when they were almost 50. They were both established successful professionals. Doug Emhoff respects and supports his wife; Kamala respects and supports Doug Emhoff. If Kamala Harris says, ‘I’m going to run,’ Doug Emhoff will do everything in his power to help her get elected,” she added.
Trump won 49.8% of the popular vote to Harris’s 48.3% in 2024. He also topped Harris in the electoral college, 312 to 226.
“But I’ve also — you know, let’s be real — and I’ve told Kamala this. I hear a lot of women who are scarred from the fact that two very qualified women, Hillary and Kamala, lost against the most unqualified human being that has ever been in the Oval Office,” Navarro said.
“Do you think a Black woman can be president in 2028?” Hostin asked former host Raven-Symoné.
