Former VP Kamala Harris on Friday teased her plans for the 2028 presidential election in an on-stage interview with the Rev. Al Sharpton in New York City, where she blasted President Trump as a “liar.”
“I might. I’m thinking about it,” the Democrat replied when Sharpton asked her if she was going to run for president again.
The room burst into applause at her response.

“I’ll keep you posted,” Harris added.
Harris was speaking at Sharpton’s National Action Network, a conference of black voters considered a must-stop for any potential Democratic presidential contender.
Several other prominent Democrats mulling White House bids also spoke at the conference, including Govs. JB Pritzker of Illinois and Wes Moore of Maryland.
The crowd favored Harris, the nation’s first black vice president. At one point, a person yelled, “run again.”

The audience burst into applause, and those in the room shouted repeatedly, “Run again.”
Harris just smiled in response but played coy on her future plans.
She was badly beaten by Trump in the 2024 presidential election, not winning a single battleground state. Trump is not expected to be on the ballot in 2028, but is expected to name his successor to the powerful MAGA movement.

She called him a “liar” who misled the American people in the 2024 election about affordability.
“He lied,” she said. “He lied. He told the American people on day one he was going to bring down prices and costs, and he lied.”
The cost of living was a top issue in the last election and remains one going into November’s midterm election.
The Trump administration points out it has brought down the cost of living by making housing more affordable and cutting prescription drug prices. Trump also argues the uptick in gas prices is a temporary side effect of the war in Iran and will soon reverse itself.
But Harris claimed Trump spent his first year in office helping his friends.
“Instead of taking care of the average, everyday folk in America around their need for affordability, he had been taking care of his rich friends and his own family.”
“He is telling the American people he doesn’t care about you,” she charged and then pivoted to attack Republicans in Congress, calling them Trump’s “cronies” and describing them as “feckless.”
“They’re in it for what they can get out of it, and whoever is harmed in the process, so be it,” she said.
She then encouraged people to vote in the midterm election, where Democrats are trying to win control of the House and Senate.
Harris was also critical of Trump’s actions on the world stage, accusing him of lying about Iran and putting the lives of US soldiers at risk.

The former vice president blasted Trump for destroying relationships with America’s NATO allies and pointed to his claim that the US destroyed Iran’s nuclear arsenal — saying it wasn’t true.
“Obliterated it. He said, ” You know how he likes to use those kinds of words, obliterated it, which is not an ambiguous term, that means you took it out,” she said. “Well, evidently, he didn’t do that.”
Harris also said Trump caused the deaths of 13 US service members and put more at risk. “Hundreds, it is estimated, of others will be injured — some very seriously — putting US service members at risk,” she said.

Referring to the president as “that man,” Harris added that Trump’s destruction of the country’s relationship with its allies and his making America an “unreliable” partner was keeping her up at night.
“We have become more unreliable under this man, and we are losing influence,” she said. “It’s going to take a while and some serious work, way beyond the end of this man’s term, to regain whatever we had.”
