Americans watching the news this week saw Kamala Harris quietly reopen the idea she might chase the White House again in 2028, saying she’s “not done” and leaving the door ajar for another run. That admission has conservatives breathing a collective sigh of relief — not because her ambition is admirable, but because it gives the country more time to prepare for another full-throated campaign of liberal overreach and empty rhetoric.
On Monday’s The Record with Greta Van Susteren, conservative voices including former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and CPAC chair Matt Schlapp were right to push back against the notion that Harris would be a serious, sober choice for the presidency in another four years. Their skepticism echoes what millions of Americans felt after witnessing Harris’ stilted messaging and the chaotic Democratic positioning in 2024, and it’s the kind of blunt, no-nonsense critique our side needs more of.
Let’s not sugarcoat the cold facts: Harris’ standing in the party and in early polling has been inconsistent, and Democrats are already sniffing around alternate options for 2028 because they know she’s not a lock. The data and the internal party maneuvering show a Democratic bench that is fractured and hungry to find someone who can actually win back swing voters, which explains why names and speculation are already swirling.
Meanwhile, other Democrats — from Gavin Newsom to various governors and senators — are quietly testing the waters, which proves that even Harris’ allies are hedging their bets. That jockeying is a gift to conservatives and patriots: when the left can’t settle on a leader, it weakens their message and buys us time to expose their failed policies on the economy, the border, and national security.
Make no mistake, the question isn’t just personality; it’s record. Harris’ tenure and the Biden administration’s failures on immigration, inflation, and public safety are not memory holes voters will forget, and another Harris campaign would be an opportunity to remind America of the real consequences of left-wing governance. The conservative argument is simple and effective: competence matters, and results matter more than promises and platitudes.
That’s why the voices on Newsmax were right to call out the hollow theater of another potential Harris bid — not as a mere partisan taunt, but as a sober warning to working Americans who want a real plan for secure borders, rising wages, and safe streets. Leaders like Meadows and Schlapp are doing what conservatives should always do: naming the stakes, refusing to play along with liberal media narratives, and preparing to hold opponents accountable on substance, not spin.
In researching this piece I confirmed that Harris has publicly left open the possibility of a 2028 campaign and that Meadows and Schlapp regularly appear on Greta Van Susteren’s program to critique Democratic strategies, but I could not find a single public transcript that verbatim matches the exact phrasing attributed in the YouTube title provided. Relevant reporting on Harris’ 2028 hints and the Newsmax appearances is available, and conservatives should treat the social media clip as part of a broader pattern of conservative scrutiny rather than proof of any new, earth-shattering revelation.
