Kamala Harris is considering running for president again in 2028

Kamala Harris has been lying low since her defeat in the presidential race, unwinding with family and senior aides in Hawaii before heading back to the nation’s capital.

But privately, the vice president has been instructing advisers and allies to keep her options open — whether for a possible 2028 presidential run, or even to run for governor in her home state of California in two years. As Harris has repeated in phone calls, “I am staying in the fight.”

She is expected to explore those and other possible paths forward with family members over the winter…

Good luck Scamala

Does she know she'd have to win a primary?

 @LoyalL3gislatorDemocrat from Mississippi  commented…2wks2W

Can she win the 2028 Democratic primary?

 @XtraordinaryLobbyistGreenfrom Washington  agreed…2wks2W

Real answer - maybe. Pretty much depends what her favorability is looking like closer to the time because she has a massive name recognition advantage, and whether people still blame her for her loss in 2027-28.

i hope not

 @TigerRodSocialistfrom Virginia  commented…2wks2W

Harris is ineducable. Literally ineducable.

Democratic Party is cooked

 @GloomyPoultryProgressivismfrom Texas  commented…2wks2W

They'll probably pull the same bs. There will be good candidates running & then phone calls will be made everyone will drop out. . & they'll try to anoint her. There's obviously a d state that wants her in. We already know abt the Billionaires

Reps won't have trump in 28

 @88243PVRepublican from Virginia  commented…2wks2W

The nomination is hers if she wants it. Dems don’t blame her for losing, they blame Biden and inflation. So no backlash.

 @AshamedCentr1stVeteran from West Virginia  commented…2wks2W

I don't think the nomination is hers if she wants it - she'll face more than token opposition. But you are right that most Democratic voters don't blame her, so I don't think she'll be damaged goods the way other losing Dem candidates were.

 @PleasedClamDemocrat from California  commented…2wks2W

Her judgement was suspect during the campaign…. Hey remember the joy of spending over a billion bucks and still ending up in debt? Let’s do it again. Cackle cackle cackle.

  @solo-von-kickpaw from Utah  commented…2wks2W

booo

   Deletedcommented…2wks2W

Well, not really surprising, maybe she'll do better without the gaffs the Democratic party had in 2024 of initially starting with a mediocre Biden campaign and him suddenly being switched out for her, though it's still years ahead and god knows what the conditions will be by then.

  @solo-von-kickpaw from Utah  commented…2wks2W

dang it hope she looses

 @MAGA_Deplorable from Washington  commented…2wks2W

Please do run Harris. You're the moron our country needs to ensure Republicans triumph again in 2028.

Donald Trump nominates Pam Bondi as the next Attorney General

Former President and 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has announced his intention to nominate former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi as the next Attorney General of the United States, should he reclaim the presidency in the upcoming election.Bondi, a prominent figure in Republican politics, served as Florida's Attorney General from 2011 to 2019. She gained national attention for her legal battles on issues such as health care reform, consumer protection, and opioid abuse litigation. Known for her steadfast support of Trump during his presidency, Bondi also served as a key adviser during his first impeachment trial, where she defended his administration against accusations of abuse of power.In a statement released by his campaign, Trump praised Bondi’s “unwavering commitment to justice” and her “track record of standing up for everyday Americans against the abuses of Washington’s elites.”“Pam Bondi has been a fearless advocate for the people, and she embodies the principles of fairness, accountability, and the rule of law that are sorely needed to restore trust in our justice system,” Trump said. “She is the right person to lead the Department of Justice into a new era of integrity and excellence.”While Bondi’s nomination has been met with applause from conservative circles, it has also reignited criticism from Democrats and ethics watchdogs. Her acceptance of a $25,000 donation from the Trump Foundation in 2013, which coincided with her decision not to pursue an investigation into Trump University, has drawn scrutiny in the past and resurfaced following the announcement.Democratic leaders have already voiced opposition, questioning Bondi’s ability to lead the Department of Justice independently. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) called the nomination “a political power play” and urged a focus on “restoring integrity, not entrenching partisanship.”

Israel Sinks Syria's Navy

Israel said Tuesday that it had destroyed Syria’s navy in overnight airstrikes, as it continued to pound targets in Syria despite warnings that its operations there could ignite new conflict and jeopardize the transition of power to an interim government.Israel’s defense minister, Israel Katz, said that the Israeli military had “destroyed Syria’s navy overnight, and with great success.” His remarks appeared to confirm Israel’s responsibility for the destruction documented in the Syrian port city of Latakia, where photos showed the smoldering remains of ships sunk at their dock.Mr. Katz said that Israel’s military “has been operating in Syria in recent days to hit and destroy strategic capabilities that pose a threat to Israel,” although he did not indicate what new or immediate risk Syria’s navy presented to Israel, which has the most powerful military in the Middle East.Israeli warplanes have conducted hundreds of strikes in Syria since the fall of President Bashar al-Assad on Sunday, according to war monitors. Israel has characterized its operations as defensive, saying its military was striking suspected chemical weapons stockpiles in Syria to prevent them from falling “into the hands of extremists.”“From here, I warn the rebel leaders in Syria: Those who follow Assad’s path will end like Assad,” Mr. Katz said.As the Assad government fell to the rebels over the weekend, Israeli ground forces advanced beyond the demilitarized zone on the Israel-Syria border, marking their first overt entry into Syrian territory in more than 50 years. An Israeli military spokesman on Tuesday denied reports that the military was advancing on Damascus. The spokesman, Avichay Adraee, said the military was inside a buffer zone between Israel and Syria and at other points “in order to protect the Israeli border.”Earlier Tuesday, Geir Pedersen, the United Nations special envoy for Syria, called on Israel to halt its “very troubling” military operations there, and said de-escalation was needed. “We are continuing to see Israeli movements and bombardments into Syrian territory. This needs to stop,” Mr. Pedersen told reporters in Geneva.
