Kamala Harris Gives Clearest Indication Yet That She’s Running in 2028, Restarts 2024 Machine
Kamala Harris is aiming for the 2028 election and is expanding her organizing efforts by relaunching Kamala HQ as “Headquarters,” a move she is making in partnership with the progressive group People for the American Way. The alliance is described as creating an online organizing project for next-generation campaigning, with goals to post across Substack, YouTube, and other platforms.A video from Harris addressing her followers and posts on X are part of this relaunch, signaling an active effort to maintain visibility in the left-leaning online sphere. CNN cited a news release from Headquarters explaining the plan as building a permanent, evolving progressive organizing infrastructure—unlike conservatives, who are portrayed as building enduring campaigns even after elections.
The piece frames this as Harris’s strategy to stay relevant and prominent in the Democratic base well before 2028, implying that she may face a tougher path to the nomination than in 2024. It notes that she has not previously won a primary (she withdrew in 2020 and was nominated in 2024), and suggests potential Democratic challengers, such as California Governor Gavin Newsom, could complicate her path. The analysis portrays Headquarters as a bid to strengthen her political footing by embedding herself in the left’s online ecosystem, while acknowledging the significant hurdles posed by past associations and the changing dynamics of a 2028 race.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris is setting her sights on the 2028 election.
The failed 2024 Democratic presidential nominee has relaunched her “Kamala HQ” account on social media platform X, rebranding it as “Headquarters.”
CNN reported she has partnered with the left-wing organization People for the American Way to create “an online organizing project for next generation campaigning.”
CNN quoted a news release from the new group, explaining its goals.
“Conservatives build permanent organizing infrastructure. Progressives have historically built machines that dismantle after Election Day. Headquarters is the end of that cycle.”
The account plans to post on Substack, YouTube, and other social media platforms.
A video of Harris addressing her followers was posted Thursday.
“So, Kamala HQ is turning into ‘Headquarters,’ and it’s where you can go online to get, basically, the latest of what’s going on, and also to meet and revisit with some of our great and courageous leaders, be they elected leaders, community leaders, civic leaders, faith leaders, young leaders …
“I’m really excited about it.”

Per CNN, Harris has not hidden from the public since her defeat in 2024.
Her memoir about the election, “107 Days,” has seen her do two tours across the country.
The Headquarters organization will be run by some of her former campaign advisers and individuals from People for the American Way, and Harris’s title will be “chair emerita,” which CNN described as “honorary.”
But if this clip is any indication, she will feature prominently in their engagement.
With more than two years before November 2028, Harris is not being subtle here.
One does not have to be a strategist to see that this is her play to stay relevant and keep her name inside the leftist cybersphere.
Vice President J.D. Vance — a likely Republican candidate — does not have that same hill to climb.
As part of the Trump administration, the public sees and hears from him often.
For Harris in 2028, the hill will be steeper. The circumstances of obtaining that nomination will be completely different from 2024.
There will be no last-minute switch between her and an outgoing president.
She will have to face her fellow Democrats — including California Gov. Gavin Newsom, most likely — if she even hopes to get a chance to run against Vance.
It’s a point that cannot be stressed enough: Despite how prominently Harris is featured in Democrats’ branding, she has never defeated anyone in a primary.
In 2020, she withdrew before the Democratic primary, and in 2024, she was handed the nomination on a silver platter.
How is this a viable candidate?
Add this reality to all the baggage she carries from working in the Biden administration — which she could not answer for in 2024 — and her prospects look bleak.
