Kamala Harris is “thinking about” running for president again in 2028, and the Democratic Party is responding with the enthusiasm of a kid who just found socks under the Christmas tree. Top Democrats on Capitol Hill — the same people who literally handed her the 2024 nomination without a single primary vote — are suddenly discovering the fine art of dodging questions.

Welcome back to clown world, folks. The coronation was eighteen months ago and the queen already got dethroned.

Here’s where it gets truly beautiful. Rep. Troy Carter of Louisiana — a guy who was one of Kamala’s most vocal cheerleaders in 2024, the kind of supporter who would’ve taken a bullet for her campaign — told reporters with a straight face: “I can’t support anybody right now.” That’s political speak for “please don’t make me say her name out loud.”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who never met a microphone she didn’t want to lecture into, suddenly developed a case of selective amnesia. “I’m so focused on 2026, I’m just not there,” Warren told reporters. Translation: she’d rather talk about literally anything else on planet Earth than whether Kamala Harris should get another shot at losing every swing state in America.

And these are supposed to be her allies.

Democratic consultant Garry South put it even more bluntly — and God bless him for the honesty: “The Democratic Party doesn’t renominate losers. The last time we did it was exactly 70 years ago with Adlai Stevenson.” For those of you who slept through history class, Adlai Stevenson lost twice to Eisenhower and is now remembered primarily as the answer to a trivia question nobody asks.

That’s the company Kamala is keeping right now. She’s in the Adlai Stevenson zone.

But here’s the thing we need to appreciate about this situation. In 2024, the Democrats bypassed their entire primary process — you know, that whole “democracy” thing they’re always screaming about — to install Kamala Harris as their nominee. No debates. No votes. No competition. Joe Biden got shoved out of an airplane mid-flight and Kamala got handed the parachute.

And what did she do with it? She lost. Every. Single. Swing state. All of them. Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia — gone. She ran a 107-day campaign and couldn’t flip a single one. That’s not a campaign, that’s a speedrun of political failure.

Now she’s out there promoting a memoir called — and we are not making this up — *107 Days*. She literally wrote a book about losing. That takes a level of self-confidence that borders on clinical. Most politicians who blow a presidential race go hiking in the woods or grow a beard. Kamala wrote a book about it and is doing a national tour.

(Can you imagine the chapter titles? “Day 47: The Vibes Were Immaculate.” “Day 89: Still Not Doing Interviews.” “Day 107: Oops.”)

Meanwhile, the 2028 Democratic field is shaping up like a reality show nobody asked for. You’ve got Gavin Newsom lurking around — the guy who turned California into a cautionary tale. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is circling, because apparently what America really needs is a socialist bartender with a TikTok following. Pete Buttigieg is in the mix too, fresh off his legendary stint as Transportation Secretary where he fixed exactly zero potholes but gave a lot of interviews about paternity leave.

And Josh Shapiro is apparently the “serious” option, which in the Democratic Party means he hasn’t said anything catastrophically stupid on camera yet. Give it time.

The real comedy here is watching the same party that lectured us about “democracy” and “norms” for four straight years try to figure out how to dump the first Black woman they nominated without looking like massive hypocrites. Spoiler alert: they can’t. Kamala’s strongest support is among Black women — the most loyal voting bloc in the entire Democratic coalition. You try telling them that Kamala doesn’t deserve another shot and see how that goes.

So the Democrats are stuck. They can’t enthusiastically back her because she lost badly. They can’t publicly dump her because it looks terrible. So instead they’re doing that thing politicians do best — mumbling about “focusing on 2026” and hoping the problem solves itself.

One former Harris aide summed up the whole disaster perfectly: “Being forced into a 107-day campaign in those circumstances was unfair, but I do not expect Democratic Party voters desperate for a win in 2028 will choose to gamble with a candidate who just lost every swing state.”

Read that again. Even her own people are admitting she’s a gamble nobody wants to take.

We should be enjoying every second of this. The party that skipped democracy to hand-pick their candidate, lost in a landslide, and is now too afraid to either back her or cut her loose — that’s not a political party. That’s a support group that can’t agree on who ruined the potluck.

Kamala 2028: Because losing once just wasn’t enough.
