GOP strategist Matt Gorman predicts Kamala Harris will not be the Democratic presidential nominee in 2028, citing the party's leadership vacuum after Biden's term and potential competition from other candidates.
GOP political strategist Matt Gorman predicted on CNN Wednesday that Vice President Kamala Harris will not be the Democratic presidential nominee in 2028. Newsweek reached out to the White House, Harris' 2024 campaign and the Democratic National Committee via email for comment Wednesday afternoon. Democrats have been looking for lessons from the defeat in the 2020 election, which occurred in both the Electoral College and the popular vote.
Democrats lost not only the presidency but also control of the Senate and failed to take control of the House, putting the Republicans in charge of both the executive and legislative branches. Meanwhile, the judicial branch is seen as leaning in the GOP's favor after Trump nominated three justices to the Supreme Court during his first term, giving the Court a 6-3 conservative supermajority.Some Democrats have called for major changes to the party to get the votes needed for victories in the next election cycle. Who will lead that effort is another question. On Wednesday, Gorman said during a panel discussion on CNN This Morning With Kasie Hunt that the Democratic Party will be without a leader after President Joe Biden leaves office in a few weeks. 'And that's OK, right, because that allows these things to grow. I would feel fairly safe putting my money down that Kamala Harris will not be the nominee in '28 for a host of reasons,' he said. 'I think Trump is the aberration in that regard, not the rule.... I'll tell you right now, Josh Shapiro is pretty happy he wasn't on the ticket, I'm sure, and part of all that.' Shapiro was one of the top contenders for Harris' running mate before she chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Newsweek reached out to Shapiro's office Wednesday afternoon via email for comment on whether he is considering a presidential run in 2028
