After her resounding loss to President-elect Donald Trump, CNN’s John King suggests that Vice President Kamala Harris could make a comeback and be a prominent Democratic contender in 2028.
During CNN’s coverage of the electoral college certification on Monday, King warned against ruling Harris out of future presidential politics, noting that Trump’s 2024 comeback would be an even more unlikely feat.
But Harris’ potential resurgence doesn’t come without challenges. King points out that she lost all seven battleground states and is viewed by many as a “coastal elite,” with “giant problems.” However, he also acknowledges her popular support among the foundational base of the Democratic Party – black women.
Despite her defeat, Harris won 75 million votes and raised a record-breaking billion dollars. She has a significant political following and could build on that momentum in the future.
But King raises an important question: Do politicians like Harris learn from their mistakes and adapt? While she did have 100+ days to prepare for the race, she also had to contend with a pandemic and a highly divisive political climate.
Political analyst Mark Halperin notes that Harris may have better odds at winning the California governor’s race than securing the Democratic presidential nomination again. However, he cautions that both would be difficult challenges for her, given her tendency to avoid difficult decisions under pressure.
It’s clear that Harris’ political future is uncertain, and she will need to strategically navigate the next few years if she wants to remain a relevant contender in the Democratic Party.
Harris’ potential comeback cannot be underestimated. After all, as King reminds us, four years ago, everyone thought Donald Trump was done – yet here he is, poised to make a comeback himself.
Funny!
she had 4 yrs,,,,abandoned her constituantss,,,,she defeated herself,,,,voters saw her do nothing,,,and turned away to vote for someone they trust who promises to do things and has done so in the past
This is representative of the profound lack of intelligence in the devout Dumbocrap . Being mentally ill is a prerequisite for their political party.
Is john King delusional are just plain stupid? Why is cnn always carrying water for the democraps?
Will be so glad when CNN stands for Closed Nut Network.
Which part of wasting 1.2 Billion dollars in less than 100 days don’t the democruds understand? Surely the ones that gave her that money do, and I doubt that she would receive that kind of cash again. Just ask George Clooney, he’s done donating to the democrats. A couple of big time donators said that they were through also. So, if they think harris could win in 2028, let her run. She’ll end looking like hillary after she gets beat the second time! I think after President Trump gets this Country back up and running again, it will be insane to vote for a democrat again. Americans have woke up and see the crooked shiite and the lies they told to blindside the voters. Biden was so out of touch with reality, he really believed that the economy was so good. Harris went along with all the lies and repeated most of them during her failed campaign. She couldn’t manage 1.2 billion dollars, and blew it all in less than 100 days, how the hell does she, or anyone, think she could handle the entire country!
Harris has never been a star, much less a super star. Her pitiful record speaks for itself. But it was also her adherence to the democrat party objectives. Harris is now nothing more than an historical footnote.
Lost cause! And a wase of time and money.
