Nolte: Insiders Say Kamala Harris Will Try Again in 2028
[Breitbart] With the early primary polls on her side, Democrat Party insiders say Kamala Harris is thinking seriously about trying again for the presidency in 2028.

"Of course, she’s going to try and run again," someone the Daily Mail describes as a "well-connected Democratic strategist," told the outlet. The strategist added that Kamala’s ambition is only one thing driving this decision.

"Despite some hesitation, Harris has generated a lot of sympathetic reactions from professional Democrats in Washington," reports the Daily Mail. "They describe her campaign as ’near flawless’ but say she struggled to separate herself from President Joe Biden’s record."

"One strategist compared her to the backup quarterback called into win the football game after they were already down in the fourth quarter."

"I think she did the best she could," the strategist said

As I wrote last week, there are pluses and minuses on her side. On the plus side, the Democrat Party bench is pretty weak and Harris did win more reported votes than any presidential candidate in history, except for Joe Biden in 2020 and Donald Trump in 2024.

There is also the fact that we live in a 50/50 country and anyone who wins the nomination has a 50/50 chance of winning the presidency. Kamala already came pretty close.

On the minus side are her anemic political skills. When it comes to anything off-script, Kamala never improved, not even a little bit. Repetition did nothing to elevate her ability to answer questions or deal with an unscripted situation. It was like watching someone throw a football at a cat. No matter how many times you throw a football at a cat, the cat will never get better at catching that football. I’ve never seen a human being incapable of getting better at something through repetition.

Some Democrats seem to understand this...

One Democratic communicator said that her rapid rise from a district attorney to the Senate and Vice President of the United States was partially to blame for her struggles as a candidate.

’This is someone who had a meteoric rise, her Achilles heel has been not having her own political identity, it created this blanket of caution that really f***d her up,’ he said.

For Harris to win again she would need to finally define herself outside of her own ambition and put to rest questions about what she really believed in.

And Obama?

#2 She will just vacation for three years, consider running and decide that doing nothing is her niche.

#4 It will be Gavins turn. They didnt push him this time because he was sure to be defeated. But 2028 is another story.

#5 her Achilles heel has been not having her own political identity

That and the fact that she seems utterly unqualified for the job. Plus the laughter - there is no way we could listen to that for 4 years.

#6 Delusional thinking by people who cannot imagine they so utterly wrong. Newsom-Vance seems likely from this distant vantage point, but that just really meaningless prattle.

#7 That anyone is considering (seriously or otherwise) Harris again in 2028 tells you the Dems have no bench or anyone in AAA.
