Harris Hints at 2028 Run, Says ‘Some People’ Call Her the Most Qualified Candidate Ever

The onstage moment revived debate over her credentials during a Washington stop on her memoir tour.

Overview

  • Asked by Kara Swisher if she will run in 2028, Kamala Harris answered "Maybe. Maybe not," drawing cheers from the audience.
  • At the Oct. 9 Warner Theatre event promoting her memoir 107 Days, she said "some people" have called her the most qualified presidential candidate ever.
  • She cited her service as San Francisco district attorney, California attorney general, U.S. senator and vice president while arguing voters lacked time to get to know her in 2024.
  • Harris blamed widespread mis- and disinformation and said being a woman and a woman of color posed hurdles in her race against President Donald Trump.
  • The appearance featured both applause and a brief disruption from a protester who shouted that she was a "war criminal," and some coverage noted Tim Walz previously called her the most qualified person in U.S. history.
