Karoline Leavitt said she would welcome another presidential campaign from Kamala Harris. The former White House press secretary discussed Harris’s potential 2028 candidacy during a Fox News appearance. Leavitt argued that another presidential bid from Harris could improve Republicans’ chances in the next election.
Why Karoline Leavitt thinks another Kamala Harris candidacy would benefit Republicans
During an October 27 appearance on America’s Newsroom, Leavitt discussed Harris’s potential 2028 presidential bid. Hosts Dana Perino and Bill Hemmer brought up Harris’s recent campaign visit to New Hampshire. The former vice president has previously hinted at the possibility of running for president again.
Leavitt expressed hope that Harris would continue visiting New Hampshire. She also encouraged the former vice president to enter the race. “I for one hope Kamala Harris runs again in 2028 again,” Leavitt said.
Her reasoning centered on Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory over Harris. Having worked on Trump’s presidential campaign, Leavitt argued that another Harris candidacy would benefit Republicans.
“Because having served on President Trump’s campaign, where he convincingly defeated her in 2024,” Leavitt explained. She added, “I know that will give Republicans the best possible chance to win in 2028.”
Leavitt also questioned Harris’s political appeal in New Hampshire and across the country. “She is not the answer for New Hampshire,” she said. “She is not the answer for the United States.”
The former press secretary then referred to Harris’s previous presidential defeat. “She was already rejected once,” Leavitt said. She added that she hoped Harris would run again and face another rejection.
Her comments followed Harris’s recent visit to New Hampshire, where she campaigned for Democratic candidates ahead of the November midterm elections. Harris has also visited other states while leaving open the possibility of another White House campaign.
Although Leavitt believes Harris’s return would benefit Republicans, the former vice president has not confirmed whether she will run in 2028. Her political future remains uncertain as both parties focus on the upcoming midterm elections.
