Former Vice President Kamala Harris says she remains genuinely undecided about seeking the Democratic presidential nomination again in 2028, telling CNN that she continues to weigh the possibility while concentrating on the 2026 midterm elections.

During an interview with CNN’s Edward-Isaac Dovere while campaigning in Mississippi, Harris was asked whether she was leaning toward another White House run. “I go back and forth,” she replied, adding that “there’s so many factors” involved in the decision. Earlier this month, Harris similarly said she had not decided and emphasized that Democrats first needed to focus on the midterms. prod.transcripts.cnn.com

Harris also rejected suggestions that she should retreat from national politics following her 2024 loss to President Donald Trump. Joking about critics who think she should stay home, she said she could still handle family life while remaining politically active. CNN Transcripts

Her Mississippi stop was part of an increasingly active campaign schedule. Harris appeared with Democratic Senate nominee Scott Colom as Democrats invest new resources in a race that has drawn unusual national attention for a state that has traditionally favored Republicans in federal elections.

CNN’s reporting also indicates that Harris has been making stops in states including New Hampshire, Wisconsin and Georgia, giving her a visible role in the closing days of the midterms. At the same time, she has not yet taken several steps commonly associated with launching a presidential campaign, such as assembling a dedicated 2028 organization or presenting a detailed national platform. prod.transcripts.cnn.com

For now, Harris is keeping both possibilities open: remaining an influential Democratic campaign surrogate or making another bid for the presidency after the midterms are over.
