Could Kamala Harris be the party’s 2028 nominee?
It seems implausible, but she has a successful book tour and the party avoided blaming her for their defeat in 2024 and instead directed all the blame at Biden and his ‘inner circle’ whom they claimed fooled them into thinking he was functional.
Some polls even seem to show her in the lead (although polls this far ahead are mostly worthless.) Her account was rebooted into a ‘digital content hub’ for younger people and, most dangerously, black women seem to like her now.
The Dem field has a shortage of black candidates and with black women playing a major role in a diminished party, Newsom would have a hard fight against Kamala if she could rally black women.
And, finally, she has enough friends on the inside that the DNC keeps doing favors for her. A $6.5 million favor recently.
The Democratic National Committee, which began 2026 in debt and nearly $100 million behind its Republican counterpart, made a $6.5 million bet in the final weeks of 2025 to buy former Vice President Kamala Harris’s old email list of supporters.
That money almost immediately went to help Ms. Harris pay off expenses left over from her 2024 campaign.
Ms. Harris’s new political group, Fight for the People PAC, spent nearly $7 million in the final month of 2025, new federal filings show, overwhelmingly on presidential campaign expenses that had not previously been disclosed as debts. Those payments included $4 million to a media production company, nearly $200,000 to a polling firm and $99,100 to the company that manages events for The Roots, a hip-hop band that performed at Ms. Harris’s final rally in Philadelphia, the filings show.
I’m skeptical that the DNC needed that list. So are a bunch of Dems. This is the DNC doing a favor for a politician who burned through an incomprehensible amount of money on media stunts like this.
Either the DNC wants to stay on her good side or it’s still in the tank for her. Either way, it’s still not over.
