One big idea: Kamala Harris may soon face pressure not to run for president in 2028. While she has remained silent on the topic, several influential Democrats, including Reid Hoffman and John Morgan, have expressed doubts about her candidacy. Hoffman, a prominent Democratic donor, believes a 2028 campaign would be challenging and that the field would be noisy.
Morgan echoed this sentiment, stating that the money and votes needed for a presidential bid would not come his way if Harris entered the race. Newsom, another major Democratic donor, has also signaled his uncertainty about Harris's decision, citing the potential cannibalization of donors between her and his own campaign. Despite these concerns, Harris maintains strong support among Black voters and women, key demographics in the Democratic Party.
Newsom's comments, made just days after visiting South Carolina, suggest a strategic move to encourage Harris to make an early decision, as her timing could impact the overall race.
