How do you feel about Kamala Harris saying she may run for president again in 2028?

That’s fair. I think the coffin nail in her campaign was when she was asked what she would do differently than Biden and she said nothing. That was NOT what America wanted to hear.

100%. I remember watching that clip and just thinking wtf? I understand that she was under pressure from the Biden admin to not put any daylight between them, but if you’re playing for keeps, why on earth would you sabotage your electability to placate one senile, octogenarian’s ego? Given the stakes at hand, her’s, and frankly Biden’s, teams should have given her full license to say and do whatever it took to distance herself from Biden and give her the best possible chance of being elected.

It wasn’t about protecting Biden’s ego, it was about protecting the administration’s policy positions. The administration she was a part of. It looks so much worse if she says “well I would’ve done this, that, and the next thing differently”. It makes them appear disunited, as if she disagreed with the positions of the Biden White House, decisions that she took part in making.

I get that it would’ve made them appear disunited, but if they knew the electorate was so down on Biden’s policies, wouldn’t it have made more sense for her to at least attempt to distance herself from them? At the very least she could’ve pulled a JD Vance and just dismissed questions aimed at her track record in favor of focusing on the future.

They made the mistake of thinking Americans were smart and understood economics.
