2026年4月10日周五，前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯抵达纽约举行的全国行动网络大会现场。
前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯在2026年全国行动网络大会上公开表示，她“正在考虑”2028年竞选总统——这是她迄今为止就自身政治未来发表的最坦诚的公开表态。
“听着，我有可能，有可能。我正在考虑这件事，我正在考虑，”当被问及是否计划再次竞选白宫时，哈里斯告诉阿尔·夏普顿牧师。哈里斯曾是2024年大选的民主党总统候选人。
她此番表态之际，外界对她的政治后续计划的猜测愈演愈烈——她在2025年末发布了一本竞选回忆录，并随后开启了图书巡回宣传活动。
据CNN此前报道，哈里斯本月还将前往美国南部四个州出席民主党活动。
虽然哈里斯在2025年8月接受哥伦比亚广播公司斯蒂芬·科尔伯特采访时曾表示，她“不想再回到这套体制中”，但她在当年晚些时候暗示自己可能会再次角逐白宫，当时她告诉英国广播公司记者劳拉·昆斯伯格：“我还没有结束。”
周五，在这场植根于民权历史的进步派组织大会上，哈里斯受到了热烈欢迎，现场观众高声呼喊“再次参选”，一度打断了她的发言。
“我正在考虑（再次参选），但我也要说明这一点：我曾担任四年副总统，距离美国总统宝座仅一步之遥，”哈里斯说。“我在西翼办公室度过了无数时光，那里离椭圆形办公室只有几步之遥。我曾无数次进入椭圆形办公室、作战室。我清楚这份工作是什么，也清楚这份工作需要什么。”
她随后阐述了“需要完成的工作”，此时她正考虑发起第三次总统竞选，而民主党候选人提名战场已渐趋拥挤。
“过去一年我一直在全美各地走访，在南部以及其他许多地方花费了大量时间。我也非常清楚一点：现状行不通，而且长期以来对很多人来说都行不通，”这位前总统候选人说道。
卸任白宫职务后，哈里斯一直直言不讳地批评唐纳德·特朗普总统。
在与夏普顿的对话中，哈里斯谴责了特朗普的外交政策行动，尤其是对伊朗的战争，她称这场战争是“刻意选择的结果”。
在周五的活动中，这位前副总统进一步指出，特朗普对部分盟友——尤其是北约国家——日益加剧的怨恨“不仅损害美国民众的利益，也损害世界各地盟友国家的民众利益”。
她补充说，特朗普外交政策带来的影响“让我夜不能寐”。
2028年潜在民主党候选人登台亮相
在纽约举行的这场年度大会聚集了非裔黑人和进步派领袖，这里也成为2028年潜在总统候选人的造势平台，其中多位候选人都与夏普顿进行了访谈，以测试其竞选主张的反响。
周三会议启动仪式上，纽约市市长佐赫兰·曼达尼——民主党年轻进步派明星之一——拿自己无法参选总统一事打趣，称自己并非自然出生的美国公民。
“能来到这里我深感荣幸，我还跟牧师开玩笑说，我很自豪地宣布，我不会在2028年竞选总统，我知道有些人在参加这次大会时可能正在考虑此事，”曼达尼说道。
潜在候选人包括宾夕法尼亚州州长乔希·夏皮罗、加利福尼亚州众议员鲁本·加列戈、马里兰州州长韦斯·摩尔、伊利诺伊州州长JB·普利茨克、亚利桑那州参议员鲁本·加列戈、前交通部长皮特·布蒂吉格以及哈里斯本人，他们都回答了个人问题并宣传了各自州的施政成果。另一位潜在竞争者、肯塔基州州长安迪·贝希尔将于周六在大会上发表演讲。
夏皮罗宣传了他所在州修复95号州际公路桥梁的工作，呼应了他“GSD”（把事情搞定）的口号；摩尔则谈及了本州关于选区重划的斗争，警告共和党人“别跟我耍花招”；布蒂吉格批评了机场的TSA人员短缺问题，这一问题正持续导致国土安全部拨款谈判陷入僵局，他结合自己担任交通部长的经历发表了看法。
伊朗问题也成为各方谈话的主线，每位民主党人都抨击了特朗普政府的决策和领导力。加列戈、摩尔和布蒂吉格均为退伍军人，他们结合自身经历展开批评。
“我完全清楚登上那架灰色尾翼的军用运输机奔赴战区是什么感觉，也清楚相信派遣我们前往那里的人别无选择有多重要，”布蒂吉格说。“不到万不得已，绝不能让美国军人的生命陷入险境。”
与此同时，随着外界对其计划的猜测升温，每位2028年潜在候选人都明确表示，他们将致力于民主党在2026年中期选举中取得胜利。“在此次中期选举中，我们有四场竞争激烈的美国国会选区竞选，我将全力以赴，这样我们就能让哈基姆·杰弗里斯出任众议院议长，”夏皮罗宣称。
夏普顿试图打破猜测，在每场访谈结束时直接询问每位潜在候选人下一届白宫竞选的计划，但得到的回应都巧妙地回避了直接回答。
“我们有机会在党内就我们的立场展开真正的辩论，就我们的积极愿景展开辩论，”夏皮罗说。“我可以明确告诉你的是，我希望参与这场辩论。”
普利茨克同样态度暧昧。“我的回答是，我不知道之后会做什么。我希望之后能连任州长，但我可以告诉你的是，我将全力以赴为2028年的民主党候选人助选，”他说。
摩尔的发言引发了现场观众的热烈反响，他对外界的猜测乐在其中。“我们将在马里兰州传递一个明确信号。但我跟大家说，我现在——我跟人们说，我渴望机会，但还没到迫不及待的地步，”这位马里兰州州长说道。
最后，夏普顿问布蒂吉格：“你上次竞选总统时见过我，我们还在哈莱姆区的西尔维亚餐厅共进过午餐，当时被广泛报道。我先记一下我的日程。我是不是该在西尔维亚餐厅预订座位了？你——你会不会再次参选？”
“你给我留个座，我一定会去，”他回答道。

‘I know what it requires’: Harris on why she’s thinking about running for president in 2028

Former Vice President Kamala Harris confirmed Friday that she is “thinking about” running for president in 2028 at the 2026 National Action Network Convention – in her most open public remarks to date about her political future.
“Listen, I might, I might. I’m thinking about it. I’m thinking about it,” Harris told Rev. Al Sharpton when asked about whether she plans to run another White House campaign. Harris was the Democratic presidential nominee in the 2024 election.
Her comments come amid mounting speculation about what she may do next with her political career after she released a campaign memoir in late 2025 and embarked on a subsequent book tour.
Harris is also set to appear at Democratic Party events in four Southern states this month, CNN previously reported.
While Harris said in an August 2025 interview with CBS’ Stephen Colbert that she did not “want to go back in the system,” she hinted later in the year that she could make another bid for the White House, telling the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg: “I am not done.”
On Friday, Harris received a warm welcome at the progressive organizing conference steeped in civil rights history, prompting loud chants of “run again,” which briefly interrupted her remarks at one point.
“I am thinking about (running again) but let me also say this. I served for four years being a heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States,” Harris said. “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.”
She went on to lay out the “work that needs to be done” as she considers what would be a third presidential campaign, with a crowded potential field taking shape.
“I’ve been traveling the country the last year, I’ve been spent a lot of time in the south and many other places. And the one thing I’m really clear about also, is the status quo is not working, and hasn’t been working for a lot of people for a long time,” the former nominee said.
Since leaving the White House, Harris has continued to be an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump.
In her sit-down with Sharpton, Harris condemned Trump’s foreign policy actions, particularly the war with Iran, which she called a “choice.”
At Friday’s event, the former vice president went on to argue that Trump’s increasing bitterness toward some allies, particularly NATO countries, “is harmful to the people of America, not to mention people in allied nations around the world.”
She added that the impact of Trump’s foreign policy “keeps me up at night.”
Potential 2028 Dems take the stage
The gathering of Black African American and progressive leaders at the annual conference in New York served as a staging ground for potential 2028 presidential contenders, several of whom sat down with Sharpton to test-drive their message.
Kicking off the proceedings on Wednesday, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani — one of the party’s young, progressive stars — quipped about his ineligibility to run for president as a non-natural-born citizen.
“It is such a pleasure to be here, and I joked with the reverend that I’m proud to announce that I am not running for president in 2028, which I know that some people may be considering when they come to this conference,” Mamdani said.
The potential candidates – including Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, California Rep. Ro Khanna, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, Arizona Sen. Ruben Gallego, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and Harris – fielded personal questions and touted local successes. Another potential contender, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, is set to address the conference on Saturday.
Shapiro promoted his work to repair the I-95 bridge in his state, echoing his “GSD” (get s*** done) slogan; Moore grappled with the fight over redistricting in his state, warning Republicans, “don’t play with me”; and Buttigieg criticized the TSA staffing shortages at airports amid the ongoing DHS funding stalemate, reflecting on his own experience leading the Transportation Department.
The conflict with Iran also created a throughline for the conversations, each Democrat laying into the Trump administration’s decision making and leadership. Gallego, Moore and Buttigieg, each veterans, grounded their criticism in personal terms.
“I know exactly what it feels like to get on that gray-tailed military transport plane and be on your way into a war zone, and how important it is to be able to believe that the people who sent you there only did that because they had no other choice,” Buttigieg said. “You do not put American troops’ lives on the line unless you have no other good alternative.”
Meanwhile, with speculation growing about their plans, every member of the potential 2028 field was emphatic about their commitment to Democratic successes in the 2026 midterms. “In these midterms, we’ve got four competitive US congressional races that I’m going all in on, so we can make Hakeem Jeffries the speaker of the House,” Shapiro declared.
Sharpton attempted to cut out the speculation, closing every interview by directly asking each would-be contender about their plans for the next White House race. But he received a series of artful dodges.
“We have an opportunity to have a real debate in our party about what we stand for. About what our affirmative vision is,” Shapiro said. “And what I can tell you for sure is that I want to be a part of that debate.”
Pritzker was similarly noncommittal. “My answer is, I don’t know what I’ll be doing after. I hope I win reelection after, but I can tell you this, I’m going to fight like hell to elect a Democrat in 2028,” he said.
Getting a loud reaction from the crowd during his turn, Moore relished the speculation. “We’re gonna send a message in Maryland. But I’m telling you, while I am – I tell people, you know, I’m hungry, but I’m not thirsty,” the Maryland governor remarked.
Finally, Sharpton asked Buttigieg, “When you ran for president, you met me, and we went up for a well-publicized lunch at Sylvia’s Restaurant, in Harlem. Just so my calendar is clear. Should I be reserving a table at Sylvia’s? Are you – are you gonna run again?”
“You save me a seat, I’ll be there,” he replied.
