Kamala Teases 2028 Run — Democrats Scramble for Strategy
Kamala Harris has once again thrown Democrats into confusion. In a recent BBC interview, she hinted that she might run for president in 2028. Her vague, awkward answers quickly sparked speculation. Harris didn’t officially announce a campaign, but her tease made it clear she isn’t stepping away from the national spotlight anytime soon. That single comment set off a chain reaction across both parties. Democrats suddenly face a difficult question: do they rally behind her again or move on? Republicans, meanwhile, seem thrilled by the prospect of another Harris run.

When asked about poll numbers and the future of her party, she brushed it off with what many observers called “nonsense.” The exchange ended awkwardly, giving critics more ammunition to question her communication skills and overall readiness. Still, the tease served its purpose. It reminded the public she’s still here — and that she might want another shot. But it also forced her party to confront its leadership vacuum and unsettled identity. 🚨 JUST IN: Kamala Harris declares to America that she’s “not done” and might run for president in 2028 to quash the MAGA movement. 😂pic.twitter.com/NUDzqXAO7J — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) October 25, 2025 Democrats’ Growing Problem Kamala Harris’s comments exposed a deeper issue for Democrats: they don’t have a clear successor or a unified message. After years of internal fighting between progressives and moderates, the party looks divided and uncertain. If Harris runs, she risks reigniting old rivalries from her previous campaigns. If she doesn’t, the scramble to find a new face could create chaos. The Democratic bench is thin, and enthusiasm among younger voters has dropped. That’s not a great position for a party hoping to hold the White House in 2028. Republicans Smell Opportunity While Democrats argue about who should lead them next, Republicans are celebrating. Harris has become a favorite target for conservative media and party strategists. They see her as an easy opponent — one who stumbles in interviews and struggles to connect with voters. (RELATED NEWS: 2025 Elections: Five Key Races to Watch) GOP strategists are already giddy at the thought of a 2028 matchup between Vice President J.D. Vance and Kamala Harris. They believe her candidacy could energize conservative voters while dividing Democrats further. Book Tour Effect Harris’s ongoing book tour has become a stage for speculation. Every weekend, new clips and awkward soundbites circulate online. While the tour promotes her memoir, it also serves as a soft campaign — keeping her visible, drawing media attention, and testing public reaction. Critics argue she’s trying to rewrite her political image without addressing the failures that defined her last run. Supporters say she’s simply staying relevant. Either way, the timing of the tour aligns perfectly with a pre-campaign strategy. Possible 2028 Democratic Contenders As Harris toys with another run, other Democrats are circling. Here’s who might step in the race: Kamala Harris – She’s the default option, but also the most polarizing. Her record and communication style still divide voters. Gavin Newsom – The California governor has built a national profile, but his leadership of a state facing homelessness, crime, and cost-of-living crises could weigh him down in a general election. His critics also fault him for the devastating fires in January 2025. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) – A hero to progressives and a lightning rod for critics. Her inexperience, strong ideological positions, and social media presence could alienate moderate voters. Josh Shapiro – The Pennsylvania governor’s traditional stance could alienate progressives. He also faces a party increasingly skeptical of centrists and full of antisemitism. He is Jewish, and that could play a role in the outcome of a primary. Many say that is ultimately why Kamala did not select him for her Vice Presidential candidate. Andy Beshear – A Democrat winning in a red state sounds good on paper, but his low national visibility and cautious tone might not inspire a national movement. Key Takeaways If Harris runs, the field may clear for her, even if many Democrats aren’t excited about it. If she doesn’t, figures like Newsom or Shapiro may step forward, but both face heavy scrutiny. Progressive voters might rally around AOC, creating more tension between party factions. Moderates may turn to Beshear or another governor to find someone “safe” — though that might not be enough to excite voters. What It All Means The tease wasn’t just a moment of media buzz — it revealed the Democrats’ biggest weakness: uncertainty. The party is struggling to balance progressive energy with electability concerns. It’s unclear who can unify those factions or inspire the kind of national enthusiasm needed to win. If Harris runs, Democrats could relive the internal divisions that cost them before. If she doesn’t, the vacuum might be even worse. Either way, Republicans will be ready, organized, and eager to exploit the chaos. The 2028 race hasn’t even begun, but Harris’s offhand comment might have just kicked off the first round.

LAPD Officers Pulled from Duties to Guard Kamala Harris
President Trump has revoked Kamala Harris’s extended Secret Service detail. The protection ended on September 1, 2025. Normally, former vice presidents receive only six months of coverage. President Biden had extended Harris’s protection for a year before leaving office. Trump ended that early, citing his authority over federal security assignments. California Scrambling For Local Solutions After the revocation, LAPD stepped in. The LAPD’s Metro Division assigned about 14 officers to guard Harris. These officers were pulled from regular duties, including gang suppression and active case work. An unmarked LAPD vehicle now sits outside her Brentwood home day and night. Plain-clothes officers rotate shifts to maintain constant watch—on the taypayer dime. The California Highway Patrol also offered help. However, deploying CHP security requires Governor Gavin Newsom’s approval. His office has not confirmed any final decision. Newsom’s spokesperson stressed that safety should not depend on politics. The state continues to review options for providing additional protection if needed. (MORE NEWS: Democrats Fume as Trump’s Crime Crackdown Delivers Results) Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass told Fox11 LA that it is political retaliation and warned that Kamala Harris’s safety was at risk: “This is another act of revenge following a long list of political retaliation in the form of firings, the revoking of security clearances and more. This puts the former Vice President in danger and I look forward to working with the Governor to make sure Vice President Harris is safe in Los Angeles.” Governor Newsom’s office echoed her concerns: “Our office does not comment on security arrangements. The safety of our public officials should never be subject to erratic, vindictive political impulses.” Both leaders promised to coordinate on long-term solutions. They argued that protection for former national leaders must never become a partisan issue. Never mind the six-month protocol that has been in place for years.

The list includes former DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, Dr. Anthony Fauci, John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, and Biden’s adult children. Democrats say this shows a troubling pattern and claim Trump is using security assignments to punish rivals. But should the federal government waste taxpayer money on unnecessary details? Especially when the people in question are millionaires and can afford their own security. 🚨 #BREAKING: President Donald Trump terminates Dr. Anthony Fauci’s security detail – CNN It was pulled last night. Fauci will now have to pay for his own private security. pic.twitter.com/rnkxHU5GkK — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) January 24, 2025 Harris’s Book Tour Raises Stakes The timing adds to the controversy. Kamala Harris is preparing for a nationwide book tour later this month. Her memoir, 107 Days, releases on September 23. Public appearances will draw crowds and increase exposure. Without federal protection, she will have to rely on local law enforcement and possibly private contractors—which would be her obligation as a private citizen. Officers Face New Demands For now, LAPD’s Metro Division will carry the responsibility. These officers specialize in tactical response and dignitary protection. They have experience working with the Secret Service. Still, pulling them from crime suppression adds pressure on a department already stretched thin. Rising crime rates in Los Angeles make the trade-off controversial. The Debate Over Protection and Costs Democrats in Washington called the decision dangerous. They argue it undermines security norms and sets a bad precedent. Security, they insist, should never depend on partisan rivalries. Critics fear future leaders will face the same risks if protection becomes a political weapon. As the first woman and Black person elected Vice President, Kamala Harris faced elevated threats. This move by Trump is dangerous. I saw the VP last week and was grateful for her Secret Service protection. They were incredibly professional and kept her safe. Shameful. https://t.co/ttveXPDXou — Congressman Robert Garcia (@RepRobertGarcia) August 29, 2025 The controversy raises larger questions. Who decides which former leaders deserve protection? Should states carry the burden when the federal government steps away? And how should costs be divided between taxpayers and private funds? These issues will likely shape future policy. Harris’s case shows how quickly coverage can shift. Local police now fill the gap as state officials weigh their role. The outcome will affect not just Kamala Harris but every future leader navigating life after Washington. Final Word Kamala Harris now has LAPD officers parked outside her mansion while Los Angeles struggles with rising crime. Regular citizens wait longer for police response because detectives have been reassigned to protect a former vice president who chose politics over results. Trump’s critics scream about danger, but everyday Americans face danger daily in neighborhoods where crime goes unchecked. That is the real scandal. Instead of fixing broken policies or supporting law enforcement, Democrats treat Harris’s driveway like a national emergency. They demand more taxpayer money and more political theater. Meanwhile, criminals walk free, and police are stretched thin. Protecting politicians at the expense of public safety tells you everything about their priorities. The message is simple: leaders should protect the people—not the other way around. Cut Through the Noise. Slice Through the Lies. Share the Truth.
