Kamala Harris for 2028? Husband Doug Emhoff reportedly hopes she won't run again
Doug Emhoff reportedly prefers Kamala Harris not run in 2028, but people close to him expect his support if she does.
Former US Vice President Kamala Harris is facing speculation about her potential return to the 2028 presidential race, with her husband Doug Emhoff reportedly expressing doubts. According to The Wall Street Journal, Emhoff "would prefer" Harris not run again. However, those close to him anticipate his support if she decides to enter the race.
Harris remains undecided, continuing to engage with Democratic donors and campaign for fellow Democrats as she prepares for the 2026 midterm elections. Emhoff, 61, has privately voiced concerns about his wife's plans for another White House bid. Unlike the 2024 election, where Harris was the Democratic nominee after Joe Biden stepped down, she could encounter multiple challengers in the 2028 race.
However, Emhoff's preference does not imply he would oppose her publicly. Some Democratic donors have also raised concerns about another Harris campaign. Harris has not ruled out a 2028 bid, stating, "I might," but has made it clear she has not made a final decision. Her immediate focus is on the 2026 midterm elections. The Democratic field could shift significantly if Harris decides to run.
