Former Kamala Harris Staffers Don’t Want Her to Run: Report

Former aides and major donors say a repeat campaign looks unlikely as Harris weighs whether she can define a winning message after her 2024 loss.

  • Vice President Kamala Harris is considering a 2028 presidential campaign, but a sweeping Vanity Fair report published on May 21 reveals near-universal unease among former staffers, aides, and donors about a potential repeat bid.
  • DNC Chair Ken Martin disavowed the Democratic National Committee's 192-page analysis of the 2024 election released Thursday, May 21, citing factual inconsistencies and major omissions that he said do not meet his standards.
  • Billionaire Mark Cuban bluntly opposed another Harris run despite past support, noting certain figures are so thoroughly demonized they hurt the party's chances. A former White House aide predicted she would "likely" run but added: "that doesn't mean she should. Absolutely not."
  • The public fracturing of Harris's coalition—donors, former aides, and campaign veterans—signals how divided the Democratic Party remains heading into the 2028 cycle, with one operative noting he has not encountered "anybody who said, 'Boy, I really hope Kamala runs.'"
  • California Governor Gavin Newsom has stepped into the vacuum, running an aggressive, de facto 2028 campaign that threatens to capture the same donor cash Harris relies on for her potential bid.
