Rev. Al Sharpton wasted no time asking the question that many voters want answered.
Following a quip—”We love you for many things, but not being subtle,” a laughing Harris got right down to it.
“Listen, I might, I might. I’m thinking about it,” she told the crowd. “Let me say this…I served for four years, being a heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States. I spent countless hours in my West Wing office, footsteps away from the Oval Office. I spent countless hours in the Oval Office in the situation room. I know what the job is, and I know what it requires.”
Some of Harris’ behind-the-scenes allies say she’s been going through “a testing of the waters” as the midterm elections approach, according to The Hill. As one longtime donor put it, “She’s a smart woman and also isn’t going to do something fruitless for no reason”—especially if the support isn’t showcased.
While other presidential hopefuls like former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro also made appearances at the conference, the reception of Harris’ speculation carried a certain heft. “As she should. Nobody else has the requisite experience, certainly not on foreign policy, which will now be key,” @_kayah_ wrote on X.
Harris introduced the idea that she may make another bid for president during a February conversation with podcaster and author Sharon McMahon. “I haven’t decided,” she said. “I might.”
