Harris Courting Mamdani, Pro-Palestinian Activists in Effort to Win 2028 Support

Harris is quietly courting progressive activists as she weighs a 2028 run, including a direct call to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

  • Former Vice President Kamala Harris is reaching out to progressive leaders, including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, to build support for a potential 2028 presidential bid, according to an Axios report.
  • Strained relations stem from the 2024 campaign, where many activists criticized the Biden-Harris administration's foreign policy in Gaza and refused to address Palestinian American concerns.
  • Harris held a 'lengthy' private call with Mamdani last Thursday and met with Uncommitted Movement co-founder Abbas Alawieh, as she attempts to mend fences with the progressive left.
  • Despite these overtures, Rania Batrice, a Palestinian American strategist, told Axios that if Harris has shifted her stance, "she has an opportunity to prove it." Skepticism remains warranted.
  • Analysts view this outreach as a strategic move to solidify the Democratic Party base, though centrist Democrats warn that leaning into left-wing populism could alienate moderate swing-state voters.
