David Axelrod predicts Harris is 'setting herself up' for 2028 presidential run

Former Obama adviser David Axelrod said on Wednesday that former Vice President Kamala Harris is likely prepping for another White House run, saying she would start as “the polling leader” in the Democratic Party primary.

Harris announced Wednesday she would not run for governor of California next year, a possible political path she could’ve pursued after she lost the 2024 presidential election. Axelrod said he is not “particularly surprised” at Harris’s decision, saying running for governor would be “a step back” for her.
