Harris, Newsom, Democrats aren’t trying to hide their presidential aspirations

Harris, Newsom, Democrats aren’t trying to hide their presidential aspirations

The 2028 Democratic primary has already begun — and this time, the candidates aren’t trying to hide it.  Potential contenders including former Vice President Kamala Harris and California Gov. Gavin Newsom are openly embracing — or at least acknowledging — their interest in a White House run. It’s a departure from the political gamesmanship that… Source link

Kamala Harris Teases 2028 Presidential Run: “I’m Thinking About It”

Kamala Harris Teases 2028 Presidential Run: “I’m Thinking About It”

Former Vice President Kamala Harris has openly teased the possibility of running for president again in 2028 – telling an audience at the National Action Network’s annual convention in New York City alongside Rev. Al Sharpton: “Listen, I might, I might. I’m thinking about it. I’m thinking about it.” The crowd erupted into chants of “Run again!” as Harris spoke. “I served for four years being a heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States,” she told the audience. “I spent countless hours in my West Wing office, footsteps away from the Oval Office. I spent countless hours in the Oval Office, in the Situation Room. I know what the job is. And I know what it requires.” She added that recent travels across the country, especially in the South, had reinforced her view that “the status quo is not working, and hasn’t been working for a lot of people for a long time.” This isn’t her first hint… October 2025 (BBC Interview): In her first UK interview after the election, Harris gave her strongest early signal …

We Must Be Clear-Eyed”: Harris Calls To Oppose New SCOTUS Nominees “Before They Happen

We Must Be Clear-Eyed”: Harris Calls To Oppose New SCOTUS Nominees “Before They Happen

Authored by Jonathan Turley, Former Vice President Kamala Harris is rallying Democratic donors to oppose  “additional justices” that might be nominated by President Donald Trump “before they happen.” Harris is heralding the fundraising by Josh Orton, president of the dark-money group “Demand Justice” (made infamous for its campaign to get Justice Stephen Breyer to resign). Demand Justice has pushed a radical agenda, including court packing. In a post on X, Harris highlighted a New York Times article on the “liberal organization” “preparing a multimillion–dollar effort to oppose potential Trump Supreme Court appointees before they happen.” Orton announced that “the project would cost $3 million to start and $15 million more if vacancies occurred.” The group expressly cited the possibility of Justices Clarence Thomas (77) and Samuel Alito (76) retiring. Harris called upon people to contribute, posting that : “We must be clear eyed about what is at stake with the Supreme Court right now. We cannot allow Donald Trump to hand pick one, if not two, additional justices. The nation’s highest court must be stopped from becoming even more beholden to him.” …

23 Books in 23 Days: Everything Jeremy O. Harris Read While Imprisoned in Japan

23 Books in 23 Days: Everything Jeremy O. Harris Read While Imprisoned in Japan

3. Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami 4. Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro 5. Love Is a Dog From Hell by Charles Bukowski These were three of the first books my friends delivered when they visited me. I was in Okinawa to make a film, and thankfully my friends took time away from the film to visit me regularly and make sure I felt like a human by bringing me books. I had already read Kafka on the Shore, and it was amazing to read a book I loved as a kid and realize that I hated it as an adult. So much about the character’s psychology doesn’t work for me anymore. I read the book for the first time when I was in Miho Matsugu’s Japanese Literature in Translation class in college, and it really opened a portal for me. With maturity, that portal closed, I think, but Ishiguro opened another one with Klara and the Sun, which I adored. I can’t speak highly enough of this book. It was a …

Jeremy O. Harris Recounts His 23 Days Imprisoned In Japan

Jeremy O. Harris Recounts His 23 Days Imprisoned In Japan

January 15, 2026 “Jeremy! Oh my God! They let you out?” I didn’t recognize him. He was tall, he was gay, and he knew my name, so the probability of us having a mutual friend was high. He also had the unmistakable upspoken whine of a California gay, so I had to also imagine he could be a coworker of my partner, an agent, or worse, an overfamiliar film exec. I had been invited to the W Hotel in Aspen for Aspen Gay Ski Week and it was my first outing in America since the infamous Reuters headline. When my phone was returned on December 8th, it lit up with so many messages I threw it across the table. Friends, friends of friends, mothers of friends, reporters, politicians, my niece’s middle school principal; they all reached out to ask me (a person they thought was in jail) what they could do to help? Or what happened? How was I? I didn’t respond. I couldn’t. I called my mother. My fiancé. The six friends my fiancé …

Contributor: Kamala Harris is polling well, which signifies nothing

Contributor: Kamala Harris is polling well, which signifies nothing

When I read all the hype being heaped on Kamala Harris’ lead in early polls for the 2028 Democratic nomination, I have to chuckle to myself. The release of a Rasmussen Reports poll in February was titled, “Kamala Harris Still Leads 2028 Field for Democrats.” One headline in the Hill predicted, “Kamala Harris may yet be the Democratic nominee in 2028.” A Washington Examiner piece about polling warned, “Democrats won’t get rid of Kamala Harris that easily for 2028.” I chuckle not because I don’t believe the numbers, but because I don’t believe any poll this far out in an open contest is meaningful, let alone determinative. I’ve seen this movie before, and it didn’t end well. In 2003, after managing the successful 2002 reelection campaign of California Gov. Gray Davis, I signed on as an advisor to the presidential campaign of Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman — who, I needn’t remind anyone, had been the Democratic nominee for vice president in the 2000 election, which he and Al Gore lost in a nail-biter to George …
