Kamala Potentially Running for POTUS May Help GOP in Midterms
Rep. Mark Harris (R-NC) said Breitbart News Saturday that the prospect of former Vice President Kamala Harris running for president in 2028 could certainly “help” Republicans ahead of the crucial 2028 midterm elections.
Mark Harris spoke to Breitbart News Saturday host Matthew Boyle as Kamala Harris said she is considering running for president again.
“Look, I could. I could. I’m thinking about it. I’m thinking about it…I know what the job is. I know what the job requires,” she told the Rev. Al Sharpton at the National Action Network conference in New York on Friday.
Harris reportedly received some of the loudest cheers of any potential 2028 Democratic presidential candidate who spoke at the conference, including governors. JB Pritzker (D-IL), Josh Shapiro (D-PA), Wes Moore (D-MD), and Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ).
She said it was becoming clear that “the status quo isn’t working, and it hasn’t been working for a lot of people for a long time.”
“And part of the problem is the need to get rid of some of the bureaucracy in government and understand that people … don’t want process, they want progress,” she added.
“Look, the American people have the right to expect that whoever wants to run for office and become a leader can’t be about themselves, but what they want for themselves is about the American people,” she continued. “And that’s how I see it and think about it in the context of… who, where and how can we do the best work for the American people? I’ll keep you posted.”
The North Carolina conservative said the former Democratic vice president and potential presidential candidate would remind voters why they voted for President Donald Trump and against Harris.
He said, “The biggest thing that happened yesterday on the news is that Kamala Harris is back. She’s already on the circuit and starting to play with this idea. When she comes out so early in ’26 and talks about running for president again in ’28, that can only be a help for us in the midterms because it reminds people of what they rejected in 2024.”
Harris added: “At the end of the day, when you look at all of these realities, your point is well taken, the Democratic Party has done nothing to change the disaster that they had in November 2024, and I think Kamala Harris is making headlines…I just think it helps us.”
