Can Kamala Harris Come Back? The Case For and Against a 2028 Run

Should Kamala Harris make another run for the White House? Jamal Simmons and Matthew Butler debate the case for—and against—a Harris campaign in 2028, including whether voters should decide her future and what she would need to change after 2024. They confront the uncomfortable electability questions Democrats are asking, look at how past barrier-breaking candidates handled similar doubts, and examine the importance of giving voters a clear story about what would be different next time.
