Former Vice President Kamala Harris told a crowd at the National Action Network Convention that she is considering a third run for president.

Harris made the comment during a conversation with Rev. Al Sharpton at the New York City event. When Sharpton asked her directly about her plans, Harris replied, “Listen, I might, I might. I’m thinking about it, I’m thinking about it.”

The audience responded with cheers and chants of “run again” during her remarks.

Kamala Criticizes Current Government Approach

Harris said she has spent the past year traveling the country, including time in the South. She told the crowd that the way government and politics currently operate is not working for many people.

“I’ve been traveling the country the last year, I’ve been spending a lot of time in the South and many other places, and the one thing I’m really clear about, also, is the status quo is not working, and hasn’t been working for a lot of people for a long time,” Harris said.

She added that the government needs less bureaucracy and more results. “The people want, they don’t want process, they want progress,” she said.

Harris also spoke about foreign policy. She criticized President Trump’s approach to the war in Iran and said the United States has lost standing with its allies.

“Let us understand, first of all, this president is the first president of the United States since World War II who does not believe in the alliances that we have with friendly nations,” Harris said.

She pointed to Trump’s claim that he “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program, noting that ongoing conflict shows that did not happen.

Kamala Focuses on Midterm Elections

Harris is scheduled to attend fundraisers for Democratic parties in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia this spring. She will also speak at the Arkansas Democratic Party’s annual dinner as her book tour ends.

The National Action Network Convention brought together several Democrats seen as possible 2028 presidential candidates, including Pete Buttigieg, Josh Shapiro, Wes Moore, JB Pritzker, Andy Beshear, Mark Kelly, and Ro Khanna.

Why this matters

Harris’s comments keep open the possibility of her return to the top of the Democratic ticket after her 2024 campaign. Her words come as the party prepares for the 2026 midterm elections and looks ahead to 2028.

The former vice president’s travel and criticism of the current administration signal she plans to stay active in Democratic politics in the coming months.

Her focus on Southern states and party fundraisers could help shape the party’s direction before the next presidential cycle.
