During a Democratic National Committee holiday event earlier this week, President Joe Biden praised his vice president, even telling Kamala Harris that he believes she will remain a force within the party despite her being heavily criticized by President-elect Donald Trump.
“But look, it’s also been an incredible honor to serve with someone of immense character that she’s demonstrated throughout her entire career: Kamala Harris,” Biden began. “I knew what I was doing [when] I asked her to be my vice president. I knew her. I knew of her. I knew about her. I knew her record. I trusted her.”
“She always served this country with purpose and integrity,” Biden claimed. “And she always will.” He then turned to the twice-failed presidential contender who was seated in the audience and said: “And you’re not going anywhere, kid, because we’re not going to let you go.”

Not only did Trump win an electoral landslide, but he also won the popular vote by millions, mostly by flipping traditional Democrat voting blocs, including younger Americans, black and Hispanic men, leaving him with a clear mandate from the American people regarding his “MAGA” agenda.
Harris is not planning to “go quietly into the night” after Trump thumped her.
During a segment on CNN, reporter Isaac Dovere revealed that Harris privately told backers she is considering running for governor of California in 2026 or president in 2028. Harris also reportedly does not want her “final act” to be certifying Donald Trump’s election victory over her.
“We haven’t seen or heard much from Vice President Kamala Harris since she lost the election last month,” CNN’s Manu Raju told CNN’s viewers. “But the Democratic Party still reeling from Trump’s victory.”
Dovere said that Harris is mulling two options.
“What she’s been saying to people over the last couple of weeks, donors, other supporters that she’s been talking with, As you haven’t seen the last of me, I’m not going quietly into the night. Advisers, people close to her are debating about what that means. They do not want her final official act ever to be essentially certifying Donald Trump’s win over her, especially four years after January 6th. And so they look at this governor’s race in California in 2026, and it seems to them like a layup essentially, that she would probably clear the field or mostly clear the field and she would get to be governor of California,” Dovere said.
“But if she does that, that means that she couldn’t turn around and run for president again in 2028. She’d need to essentially declare right away. And that is what it really comes down to because there are people close to her who say she didn’t get a fair shot this year,” Dovere added.
But not all Democrats are on board. Party strategist Theryn Bond urged Harris not to run for president again.
During an interview on Newsmax’s National Report, Bond said “please don’t” when asked if Harris should run for president again in 2028.
Host Emma Rechenberg asked: “The Vice president has been instructing advisers and allies to keep her options open. That could be a possible 2028 presidential run or even a run for governor in her home state of California in two years. Harris has reportedly repeating in phone calls, quote, ‘I’m staying in the fight.’ Let’s talk about it now with our political panelists. Theryn Bond joins us now, a Democratic strategist and Luke Ball is a Republican strategist. So two different perspectives here. Is this a good idea for VP Harris to continue her political ambitions?”
“Not to run for president again in 2028, please don’t. I can’t really speak for governor of California. Californians seem to support her significantly. We haven’t yet been able to measure what that support looks like after this current run she just had. That may be the only thing that she — I guess, may make sense for her to consider. But another shot at the presidency, I hope she doesn’t. And if she is relying on those same advisers that advised her this cycle, that’s not who I would listen to,” Bond responded.
