Failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris is preparing for another White House bid in 2028, Axios reports.

According to the outlet, Harris made several moves that many predict are the beginning of another presidential campaign.

The outlet cited her lengthy book tour promoting her memoir, “107 Days.”

“In 2026, we will continue to share our stories. To build community. To fight for our future,” Harris said.

“In 2026, the 107 Days book tour will be back on the road. I’ll see you out there,” she added.

Axios explained further:

Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, mingled with national party officials and state party chairs in Los Angeles this week during the DNC’s winter meeting.

At a reception Wednesday evening, DNC chair Ken Martin introduced Emhoff as the former second gentleman and quipped that he could be the future first gentleman, people who heard the remarks told Axios.

She railed against both parties and the status quo in a speech Friday to Democratic officials. Many in the room told Axios they were struck by how different Harris’ remarks were from her Biden-defending message on the campaign trail last year.

“Both parties have failed to hold the public’s trust,” Harris said. “Government is viewed as fundamentally unable to meet the needs of its people…. People are done with the status quo and they’re ready to break things to force change.”

“We cannot afford to be nostalgic for a flawed system that failed so many,” she added, arguing that President Trump is a “symptom” of a bigger problem.

After the speech, some committee members told Axios they want Harris to run in 2028 — and that when Harris mentioned “the future” during her speech, someone shouted, “You!”

Despite failing to win the Democratic nomination in 2020 and losing to President Trump in 2024, Harris continues to rank near the top in 2028 Democratic primary polls.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom is expected to be another player in the 2028 Democratic primary.

Newsom also drew attention at the DNC winter meeting, speaking with many delegates and party officials.

While Newsom didn’t address the delegates at Friday’s general session, he was treated like a VIP on Thursday as he held meetings and mingled with delegates during the opening day of the winter meeting.

A DNC committee member who witnessed the commotion told Fox News Digital, “Newsom received a rock star reception as he was mobbed by party leaders and activists alike while he attempted to walk from meeting to meeting.”

Newsom on Thursday met with the Democratic Party chairs from New Hampshire, the first-in-the-nation presidential primary state, and Nevada, another crucial early voting state.

“We had a great discussion on a wide range of issues,” longtime New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley told Fox News Digital.

Newsom’s stature in his own party has soared this year, thanks to his very vocal and visual pushback against the president, including his viral social media trolling of Trump and his successful California push to counter the Republican congressional redistricting effort.

“Newsom has shown an ability to stand up to Trump in a bold and highly effective manner without shying away from core democratic values,” veteran Democratic strategist Joe Caiazzo told Fox News Digital.

While both Newsom and Harris made a splash at the DNC winter meeting, they both have plenty of detractors who worry that neither would be electable in 2028 when the Democrats try to win back the White House.
