Harris hints at 2028 bid after 2024 loss, at National Action Network event

At a National Action Network convention, Kamala Harris teased a possible 2028 presidential run, telling Al Sharpton ‘I might… I’m thinking about it’ but stopping short of a firm commitment, while highlighting her four years as vice president and proximity to the Oval Office. The moment followed chants of “Run again!” and positioned Harris among potential 2028 contenders as Democrats assess post-2024 dynamics after Trump’s victory.

Harris Signals 2028 Presidential Run as She Critiques the Status Quo

Former Vice President Kamala Harris told a New York audience she’s considering a 2028 bid for the White House, saying she knows what the job requires and that the status quo isn’t working; she previously sought the presidency in 2020, was on the Democratic ticket in 2024, and has kept a low profile since that defeat, with past California governorship speculation not materializing.

Rahm Emanuel’s Quiet Power Play Reshapes the 2028 Democratic Field

Democrats are watching Rahm Emanuel, a high-profile former White House aide and Chicago mayor, who is effectively running the playbook of a presidential candidate—doing media rounds, touring swing states, and proposing policy ideas—without officially declaring a run. His provocative, centrist messaging aims to shift the party’s debate and could shape the 2028 field even if he isn’t a formal contender, prompting rivals and strategists to reassess who could emerge as the front-runner.

Nick Cannon Claims Democrats Are the ‘Party of the KKK’ on Amber Rose Interview

Nick Cannon said on his Big Drive show with Amber Rose that Democrats are “the party of the KKK,” and he added that he doesn’t subscribe to either party while expressing support for Donald Trump. The Hollywood Reporter notes that Cannon’s claim is historically contested: the KKK’s origins involved some post‑Civil War Democrats, but it was not created by the Democratic Party alone; Republicans founded the party in 1854, and Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation helped end slavery. The piece also covers Rose’s stance on party loyalty and Cannon’s unabashed political bluntness.

Democrats Push Iran War-Powers Vote to April Amid Pressure and Protest

Democrats reportedly plan to postpone a vote on Rep. Gregory Meeks’s war-powers resolution aimed at limiting President Trump’s authority to wage war with Iran until mid-April, citing a two-week recess and strategic timing. Leadership says the measure will pass when brought to the floor, while progressives accuse leadership of stalling. Four defectors who opposed it previously are expected to flip, though timing remains contested. The delay has sparked criticism from the grassroots, and public polling shows broad concern about the war and its costs, with opponents warning the wait could allow further escalation by Trump.

Illinois Primaries Set Stage for Post-Durbin Congress

Illinois voters are voting in midterm primaries for six open U.S. House and Senate seats, with the retirement of Sen. Dick Durbin triggering crowded races led by Raja Krishnamoorthi, Robin Kelly, and Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton. The contests feature intense fundraising and outside spending from groups tied to Israel, cryptocurrency, and AI, and several House seats around Chicago are open due to retirements. Gov. JB Pritzker’s influence looms over the Democratic field, while Republicans run in contested primaries as well. Most Democrats are favored in November, but the day focuses on who will lead Illinois’ delegation; minor polling-site ID issues were reported in one county where showing ID is not required.

Crowded California governor’s race tests Dems as calls to drop out fall flat

California’s Democratic Party chair urged underperforming candidates to drop out to avoid a GOP victory, but eight of nine top contenders stayed in as the June primary nears. One candidate withdrew and endorsed Swalwell, while others—including candidates of color—criticized the pressure as the field remains crowded and the race appears tightly contested in polls. The split field could still yield two Republicans on the November ballot, risking California’s first GOP governor since 2006.
