Kamala Harris‘s chances of scoring the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination are zero. Nobody wants her around. She’s done.
During the ’24 race she didn’t have the elemental political smarts to recognize that the only way to win was to (a) clearly distance herself from Joe Biden, to (b) explain that Vice Presidents are ceremonial figureheads with no agency of their own, and (c) state that if elected she would going her own way. The fact that she flubbed this by saying she would continue Biden-ism in a rote, rubber-stamped way…that in itself showed she wasn’t smart or tough enough for the Presidency. She’s toast.
Scott Galloway: “I actually think Mayor Pete would do pretty well on the national stage [in ’28] — he just has to get through the Democratic primary, in which the Black caucus carries a lot of weight.” Translation: “Intransigent black homophobia is still Pete’s primary impediment to a fair shot at the nomination.”
