CNN’s John King suggested Monday that Vice President Kamala Harris could be a front-runner for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination even after her crushing loss to President-elect Donald Trump in November.
Harris lost all seven battleground states and won just 226 electoral votes to Trump’s 312, which she certified on Monday, CNBC reported. reported. During CNN’s certifying coverage, King argued that a return of Trump in 2024 would be an even more unlikely feat than a possible return of Harris, and warned against excluding Harris from future presidential politics.

“This is a fascinating moment for her. We’ll only see her in a big role once or twice before she’s gone, right? Before the Trump team arrives in Washington and she leaves. Kamala Harris What’s next?” King said. “When you talk to people in this town… most Democrats say, ‘Oh, if you want to run for governor of California, get out, that’s fine. Don’t ever run for president again.’
“Just as a reminder…on this day four years ago, everyone said Donald Trump was finished. So ignore her as a potential candidate four years from now, or at least consider it dangerous.” Please take the risk,” he continued. “She just got 75 million votes. She just got 48.4% of the vote nationally. She just raised $1 billion.”
Harris’ aides and allies disagree over whether she should seek the governor’s race or the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, with the decision weighing heavily on her chances of securing the nomination. CNN reported that it depends on the evaluation. reported In December.
“She’s a black woman and she’s popular with the Democratic Party base, which is black women,” King added. “She has a big problem… She hasn’t learned to talk to working-class Americans about their cost of living and their dissatisfaction with this town. She’s seen by many as a ‘coastal elite.’ are. she has many problems. ”
“Donald Trump had so much more when he left town four years ago. A question I always have about politicians: Do they learn from their mistakes and circumstances? “She didn’t lose everything because of her mistake,” he continued. “She made some, and she spent over 100 days preparing something that normally would take four, five, six, 10 years to prepare.”

“I think she has a chance[s] Being governor of California is better than being the Democratic nominee, but I don’t think it’s as great as people say. Because, again, her challenges are her weaknesses,” Halperin said. “She doesn’t like making hard choices under pressure. That’s the job description of running for governor of California, being governor of California, running for president, and being president. So I think she might give it a try, but I think she’d be surprised at how tough it is.”
