马里兰州州长韦斯·摩尔、宾夕法尼亚州州长乔希·夏皮罗、前交通部长皮特·布蒂吉格以及参议员鲁本·加列戈等一众潜在2028年总统竞选人都出席了在纽约市举办的本年度全国行动网络大会，但在前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯寻求再次参选总统之际，她似乎仍得到该组织成员的支持。
这位前副总统周四现身大会，并与全国行动网络创始人兼主席阿尔·夏普顿牧师进行了对话。她的亮相获得了大会迄今最热烈的掌声之一。在她发言期间，一名与会者高呼“再次参选！”，随即全场观众反复齐声重复这句口号。
当夏普顿问及她是否计划再次参选时，哈里斯表示：“听着，我有可能参选。我正在考虑此事。”
“我曾任职四年，距离美国总统职位仅一步之遥。我在西翼办公室度过了无数时光，那里离椭圆形办公室仅几步之遥。我也曾无数次身处椭圆形办公室和作战室。我清楚这份工作是什么，也清楚它需要什么，”哈里斯说道。
许多与会者告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，如果哈里斯选择参选，他们会支持她，其中包括夏普顿牧师所在的贝瑟尼浸信会教堂牧师阿道弗斯·莱西。
“我会支持她，因为我仍认为我们需要她的声音。在这个时代，她的声音不可或缺，而且不该只有一次参选机会，”莱西说道。“我的意思是，有些人一辈子都在竞选总统。唐纳德·特朗普就竞选过三次总统。我认为她在101天的竞选任期内表现出色，但如果给她充足时间去阐述观点、赢得选民支持，我认为她会表现得很好。”
来自费城的与会者帕特里夏·费尔德告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻：“我之前就支持她，今后也会再次支持她。我认为那些最初没有支持她的人现在已经后悔了。”
如果哈里斯再次参选，费尔德表示她希望哈里斯这次能“更大胆一些”。
“我希望她能拿出更多的底气——尤其是在信息传达上保持目的性和坚定性，这应该会更容易做到，因为许多反对者现在已经感受到了特朗普政府执政带来的影响，”她说道。
特朗普总统在某种程度上成为了今年大会的焦点，发言者和与会者都一再表达对本届政府各项行动和政策的担忧。
“我们能想到的各个领域都遭到了破坏：破坏法律、侵犯人权、践踏投票权。一切都被打破了，一切都被摧毁了，”来自纽约的与会者伊莱恩·杜瓦尔博士在谈到国家当前状况时说道。“我认为我们需要一个修复的时代、一个重建的时代。”
特朗普对伊朗冲突的处理是一个尤其突出的议题。从夏皮罗到哈里斯，这些民主党领导人频繁用“特朗普发起的选择型战争”来形容美国与伊朗的冲突。
“我认为我们必须承认，这是美国总统发起的一场选择型战争，一场我从未支持过的战争，一场总统从未向美国民众阐明‘这就是我们的目标’的战争，”夏皮罗在周三说道。
在发言中，哈里斯宣扬了自己的外交政策经验以及担任副总统期间获得的见解。
“我会见了150多位世界各国领导人，包括总统、总理、 Chancellor（注：此处指德国等国的总理级官员）和国王，其中许多人我会晤过多次，并与他们建立了关系。我曾多次环游全球，”哈里斯说道。“我意识到的一件事是，我们与盟国的关系固然可以通过领导人来建立和强化，但我要告诉你们，这些关系的真正力量在于这些国家的民众对我国人民有一定的认同感和联系感，这也包括在场的各位。”
杜瓦尔告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，在今年大会上发言的所有2028年潜在竞选人中，她认为哈里斯拥有最丰富的总统任职经验。
“我认为比其他任何总统候选人都更充分的是，她已经做好了准备，”杜瓦尔分析道。“她曾是参议员，曾担任一个大州的司法部长，还曾担任副总统，正如她今天在这里所说的，她了解这份工作，知道该做什么。不会有在职培训的过程。”
其他与会者表示，尽管他们认为这位前副总统值得考虑，但他们希望与其他潜在总统竞选人见面并听取他们的主张。
“现在还为时过早，”当被问及哈里斯是否会第三次参选总统时，一位来自俄亥俄州的男士在喜来登酒店的走廊里说道。
一位曾在哈里斯竞选团队担任高级职务的人士周五向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露，尽管许多民主党人感谢她在2024年竞选期间在有限时间内创下的历史性成绩，但党内许多人现在已经准备好向前看了。
“人们不喜欢回头看，”这位前哈里斯团队官员说道。“她的 uphill climb（注：此处指艰难的竞选之路）十分陡峭。”
当被政客网站（Politico）问及2028年的民主党总统候选人是否应该是未曾在拜登政府任职的人，并提及布蒂吉格和哈里斯时，密歇根州参议员伊丽莎·斯洛特金说道：“我认为这两者都存在大量包袱。”
斯洛特金近期前往艾奥瓦州后，也引发了她是否考虑参加2028年竞选的猜测。她补充道：“我不知道这是否是无法克服的障碍，但我知道，从这样的场合、从在哥伦布、艾奥瓦、威斯康星、爱达荷、堪萨斯的经历来看，我感受到的最强烈的情绪是，民众想要一些新的东西。”
哈里斯将于本周在北卡罗来纳州、南卡罗来纳州和乔治亚州举办活动，以巩固民主党在南方黑人选民基础中的支持，并进一步加剧外界对她将参选2028年总统的猜测。

National Action Network Convention offers first glimpse of 2028 Democratic field

While Govs. Wes Moore and Josh Shapiro, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Ruben Gallego were among the gaggle of potential 2028 presidential contenders to attend this year’s National Action Network Convention in New York City, it was former Vice President Kamala Harris who seems to maintain the support of the organization’s members as she eyes another presidential run.
The former vice president appeared on Thursday and participated in a conversation with NAN founder and president, the Rev. Al Sharpton. Her appearance received some of the loudest applause of the convention thus far. At one point during her remarks, one attendee shouted “run again!” which led to the greater audience repeatedly chanting the same.
When asked by Sharpton if she plans to run again, Harris said, “Listen, I might. I’m thinking about it.”

“I served for four years, being a heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States. I spent countless hours in my West Wing office, footsteps away from the Oval Office. I spent countless hours in the Oval Office, in the Situation Room. I know what the job is. And I know what it requires,” Harris said.
Many attendees told CBS News they would support her if she chooses to do so, including Adolphus Lacey, the pastor of Bethany Baptist Church, where Sharpton worships.
“I would support her because I still think that we could use her voice. Her voice is needed for such a time as this, and it shouldn’t be a one-and-done,” Lacey said. “I mean, some of these people have been running for president all their life. I mean, Donald Trump ran for president three times. I think she did a good job for, what, 101 days running, but if you give her a full time to be able to articulate and earn people’s votes, I think she’ll do well.”
Patricia Felder, an attendee from Philadelphia, told CBS News, “I supported her before and I will support her again. I think those who haven’t supported her initially regret it.”
Should Harris run again, Felder said she hopes Harris is “bolder” this time around.
“I would hope that she comes with a lot more audacity – staying intentional and bold in her messaging, especially, should be easier because a lot of naysayers are now feeling the effects of the Trump presidency,” she said.
President Trump was, in a way, the focal point of this year’s conference, as the speakers and attendees alike repeatedly expressed their concern about the current administration’s actions and policies.
“There has been a breach in every area you could think of: breaching laws, breaching human rights, breaching voting rights. Everything has been broken. Everything’s been smashed,” Dr. Elaine Duvall, an attendee from New York, said about the current state of the country. “I think that we need a time of reparation. A time of repair. A time of rebuilding.”
Mr. Trump’s handling of the conflict in Iran was a particularly prominent subject. “Trump’s war of choice” was the phrase frequently used to describe the war with Iran by these Democratic leaders, from Shapiro to Harris.
“I think we have to acknowledge this was a war of choice by the president of the United States, a war I did not support, and a war where the president never came to the American people and said, ‘this is our objective,’” Shapiro said on Wednesday.
In her remarks, Harris touted her foreign policy experience and the insight she gained while serving as vice president.
“I met with over 150 world leaders, presidents, prime ministers, chancellors and kings, many of them multiple times, and formed relationships. I have traveled the globe many times over,” Harris said. “One thing that I realized is that the relationship that we have with allied nations, yes, can be forged and reinforced by the leaders, but I will tell you, the true strength of those relationships is the people of those nations. feeling some level of identity and connection with the people of our country and that includes the people in this room.”
Duvall told CBS News that of all the potential ’28 contenders that spoke at this year’s convention, she thinks Harris has the most experience to be president.
“I think more than any other presidential candidate, she was prepared,” Duvall reasoned. “She was a senator, she was an attorney general of a very large state, she was vice president and as she said here today, she knows the job, she knows what to do. It wouldn’t be on-the-job training.”
Other attendees said that while they believed the former vice president deserved consideration, they wanted to meet and hear from other potential presidential contenders.
“It is still early,” a gentleman from Ohio said in the hallway of the Sheraton Hotel when asked about a possible third Harris presidential bid.
A former senior Harris campaign official who spoke to CBS News on Friday said that while many Democrats were grateful for her historic run in 2024 under a contracted timeframe but many in the party were now ready to move on.
“People don’t like looking in the rearview mirror,” the former Harris official said. “She has a steep uphill climb.”

When asked by Politico if she thinks the nominee in 2028 should be a Democrat who didn’t serve in the Biden administration, mentioning Buttigieg and Harris, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, of Michigan, said, “I think there’s a lot of baggage there.”
Slotkin, who has also raised speculation that she is considering running in 2028 after a recent trip to Iowa, added, “I don’t know if it’s insurmountable, but I know that the strongest feeling I get from a room like this, from being in Columbus, being in Iowa, being in Wisconsin, Idaho, Kansas, is that people want something new.”
Harris is set to hold events in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia this coming week, bolstering support from the Democratic Party’s base of Black voters in the South and fueling further speculation that she’s committed to running in 2028.
