Report: Kamala Harris Courts Mamdani, Pro-Palestinian Activists Ahead of Possible 2028 Run

Former Vice President Kamala Harris has been privately contacting progressive Democrats, pro-Palestinian activists, former aides, and other party figures ahead of a possible 2028 White House run, according to a report from Axios.
Axios framed the outreach as a sign that Harris is “laying the groundwork for a potential White House run in 2028” and “looking to strengthen or repair her relationships with left-wing Democrats.”
The report said Harris privately called New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani last Thursday to discuss the Democrat Party’s future and arrange a more extended conversation. Axios cited a person familiar with the call and reported that Harris has also occasionally exchanged text messages with Mamdani in recent months.
The call came two days after candidates backed by Mamdani won three congressional races in New York City, defeating two incumbents.
Harris also met in April with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) in Chicago during the “Power Rising” conference, which Axios described as “a summit for Black women empowerment.”
