Harris gives her clearest signal she is mounting a 2028 presidential bid

Kamala Harris gave her clearest signal yet that she will run for president in 2028, telling the Rev. Al Sharpton, "I'm thinking about it," at the National Action Network convention. Her comments came on Friday during a roughly 40-minute appearance in New York, where she was met with cheers and a standing ovation. This marks her most explicit acknowledgment of a potential 2028 bid, made before an audience of Black lawmakers, power brokers, and voters. Harris's reception was notably more enthusiastic than that of other potential Democratic contenders, including Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker. She is the sixth potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender to speak at the conference.
