Harris gives few words to Gen Z Democrats in video at DC summit
Former Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a brief, pre-recorded speech at the 2025 Voters of Tomorrow Fight For Our Future Summit in Washington, D.C., addressing Generation Z Democrats. In under two minutes, she praised their activism and resilience, comparing them to the “greatest generation” of World War II veterans. Harris emphasized the crises faced by Gen Z-such as the COVID-19 pandemic,climate change,gun violence,and mental health challenges-and urged investment in their future,similar to past government support through initiatives like the GI bill. She encouraged young attendees to continue building political power, community, and coalitions to challenge the status quo and work toward a more inclusive nation. Harris, who has maintained a low profile as leaving office earlier in 2024, is reportedly considering a 2028 California gubernatorial run and has not ruled out another presidential bid, though current predictions place her behind several other potential Democratic candidates.
Harris gives few words to Gen Z Democrats in pre-recorded video at DC summit
The 2025 Voters of Tomorrow Fight For Our Future Summit featured a pre-recorded video message from former Vice President Kamala Harris that lasted just under two minutes.
Harris has kept a low profile since leaving office in January while she reportedly explores a 2028 California gubernatorial run. However, she had been billed as the closing speaker at VoT’s fourth annual conference in Washington, D.C., on Friday.
However, Harris’s remarks were notably short. In the speech, she compared Generation Z to World War II veterans.
“Your generation has grown up on the front lines of so many crises, from [COVID-19] and the climate crisis, to gun violence and mental health. You know what’s at stake, and you are not waiting for someone else to figure it out. You refuse to be passive,” she said. “Not only are you demanding action, you are actively shaping the future, and we need to invest, then, in your generation.”
She continued, “I think of you the way history thought of the greatest generation. Remember when our country made a decision to invest in their future with the GI Bill, affordable housing, and economic opportunity. So we’ve done it before, and in this moment, I believe it is time we do it for you.”
Harris implored summit attendees to keep building their political power, community, and coalitions, and to “keep challenging the status quo.”
“And borne out of our love for our country, keep fighting to build a country and a nation that works for everyone,” Harris concluded. “I look forward to continuing in the fight alongside you.”
TRUMP: ‘I’M ALLOWED’ TO PARDON GHISLAINE MAXWELL BUT ‘HAVEN’T THOUGHT’ OF EPSTEIN CASE CLEMENCY
Harris has not ruled out running for president again in 2028, but she would likely have difficulty clearing the Democratic primary following her unsuccessful 2024 campaign.
Polymarket, a prediction market, released its first betting odds of the 2028 general election cycle earlier this week, with Harris earning just the fifth-best chance of securing the Democratic nomination.
