Staff ReportsThe aftermath of the 2024 presidential election found the Democratic National Committee (DNC) casting an eye toward the future, seemingly unperturbed by the outright defeat of Vice President Kamala Harris at the hands of Donald Trump. As GOP supporters gleefully celebrated the return of Trump to the White House, some DNC officials were left scratching their heads, yet they still clung to the hope of a Harris resurgence in 2028. This level of denial was exemplified at a recent gathering where several party leaders expressed their enthusiasm for another go-round with Harris, all while ignoring her glaring shortcomings.
Among the DNC faithful, the rhetoric reached dizzying heights with a committee member praising Harris as a “phenomenal person” and a “phenomenal candidate,” as if uttering these words could erase the reality of her defeat. The underlying question remains: what part of losing to Trump—who many believed should have been vulnerable—justifies the notion of Harris as a viable future candidate? With a billion dollars in campaign funds and the unquestioning support of liberal media, her loss only underscores the sheer absurdity of the DNC’s optimism.
Instead of taking stock of Harris’ underwhelming performance, which included losing the popular vote and failing to galvanize Americans, the DNC seems committed to doubling down on failed policies. A discussion among DNC members revealed that rather than moving forward from the Harris debacle, party officials expressed excitement about a potential second run. This approach defies logic. Would Democrats really have a better chance at success by recycling someone who appears to embody everything Americans rejected at the polls?
As Harris’ supporters point to her supposed achievements—like securing 75 million votes and breaking fundraising records—they conveniently ignore the importance of perspective. The reality is that while she may have demonstrated some level of fundraising prowess, it all fell flat against the backdrop of Trump’s resurgence. The narrative of Biden’s rapid withdrawal due to a disastrous debate only provides a flimsy excuse when one considers that Harris had 100 days to launch her campaign with significant funding. Instead of capitalizing on the momentum, she managed a campaign where her visibility correlatively decreased her popularity.
What DNC Officials Are Saying About Kamala Harris and 2028 Is Absolutely Mind-Blowing https://t.co/N2YsO7MRNS

The real heart of the issue lies in the Democratic Party’s inability to identify a strong candidate capable of appealing to the wider electorate. While Trump possesses an undeniable presence, having not only won the presidency once but also maintaining a loyal following, Harris brings little to the table beyond her trademark word salads and a penchant for non-responsive rhetoric. If Democrats intend to regain lost ground, relying on figures like Harris, who epitomizes the far-left policies that push moderate voters away, may very well lead them to another disappointing election cycle.
As the DNC flounders in their candidate selection, one thing is clear: any hope of a Harris comeback in 2028 delights conservative observers everywhere. Let the Democrats make their choice; the anticipation of Kamala Harris leading the charge once more will likely turn the next election into an entertaining spectacle for right-minded patriotic Americans.
