Kamala Harris' Former Campaign Chair Won't Commit to Backing Her in 2028
Asked about backing Kamala Harris in 2028, Mitch Landrieu wouldn't commit and said he's thinking about running himself.
Kamala Harris, the former campaign chair for President Biden's 2024 presidential campaign, has not committed to backing Harris in the upcoming 2028 presidential race. Mitch Landrieu, who co-chaired Harris' 2024 campaign, declined to express support for a potential second run by the Democratic candidate. Landrieu, a former New Orleans mayor and Louisiana lieutenant governor, stated he enjoys Harris' company and believes she ran a good campaign despite challenging circumstances.
However, he emphasized that voters should decide for themselves whether to support a candidate, rather than the Democratic party dictating endorsements. Landrieu, who is considering his own presidential bid, believes the country needs a new direction and urged any hopeful to run if they genuinely feel they can contribute. He argued that ordinary people, not just the president or government institutions, have the power to save the country.
Landrieu also highlighted the importance of connecting with voters in regions traditionally overlooked by Democrats, such as the South, where population shifts are occurring.
