At a civil rights conference in New York, former vice president Kamala Harris hinted at a 2028 presidential run, receiving strong support from attendees. It was one of her most explicit signals yet that she could mount a political comeback. wapo.st/47TG4Yw

BREAKING: Pete Buttigieg plans to run for President in 2028. Al Sharpton: "When you ran for President, you met me and we went out to a well publicized lunch at Sylvia’s restaurant. Just so my calendar is clear, should I be reserving a table at Sylvia’s? Are you going to run again?" Buttigieg: "You save me a seat. I’ll be there!"

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is increasingly behaving like a candidate in waiting for the 2028 presidential election. Harris told the crowd at the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network (NAN) convention in New York City that she “might” run in 2028, an answer she’s given previously. #KamalaHarris #2028Election #Politics” - youtu.be/YUCzOMMegBA?si… #KamalaHarris #NANCONV2026

Clyburn, U.S. Representative (SC-6), alongside panels addressing immigration, global equity, the Black church, health disparities, and community safety. We are also preparing to welcome former Vice President Kamala Harris, who will join us today. From elected officials to scholars, clergy, and organizers, this is a serious exchange of ideas and solutions at a defining time.

Last night on #TheBeatWithAri, I joined Ari Melber to discuss the engagement and urgency surrounding our National Action Network Convention. We spoke about the range of leaders who have already taken the stage, including House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Maryland Governor Wes Moore, Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker, and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, with Vice President Kamala Harris and U.S. Senator Mark Kelly set to join us today. As I shared, the response from the audience makes it clear that people are looking for leaders who can both connect and govern. It’s not just about personality, it’s about who can speak to the issues in a way that resonates and drives real engagement. That is part of what this convention represents, a serious exchange of ideas, leadership, and direction at a defining moment.

Earlier in the 6am hour of #MorningJoe, I joined Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist to talk about the start of the 2026 National Action Network (NAN) Convention, which begins today as we mark 35 years of NAN’s work. We’re bringing together elected officials, organizers, and voices from across the country here in New York City at a time when voting rights, economic justice, and the rollback of DEI remain front and center. This convention is not just about conversation, it’s about setting direction in a critical moment. From possible presidential candidates to grassroots advocates, the next few days will reflect both where we are and what we must fight for moving forward. Join us.
