Many former Kamala Harris aides and donors believe she may ultimately stay out of the 2028 presidential race.

Axios surveyed eight former aides and advisers: five said she likely won’t run, two put it at 50-50, and only one expected her to run. Some argue Harris is doing only “the bare minimum” to remain in the conversation rather than actively preparing a campaign.

One former aide described Harris as “a realist and an astute political observer,” aware that another campaign could become focused on her 2024 defeat.

Harris, however, remains genuinely undecided and is continuing to campaign for Democrats and speak with party officials ahead of the midterms.
