Kamala Harris showed up in South Carolina this week — the state that basically decides who gets the Democratic presidential nomination — and started shaking hands, raising money, and pretending like we all forgot what happened the last two times she tried this.
She dropped out before Iowa in 2020. She lost six battleground states in 2024. And now she’s back for round three. Somewhere, the dictionary just updated the definition of insanity with a photo of a pantsuit and a cackle.
Let’s walk through the timeline here because it’s genuinely spectacular. On April 10th, Kamala sat down with Rev. Al Sharpton at the National Action Network’s 35th Anniversary Convention and was asked the big question: are you running in 2028?
Her answer? “I might. I might. I’m thinking about it… I’ll keep you posted.”
The crowd — and we’re using that word generously — started chanting “run again.” These are the same people who watched her campaign implode faster than a soufflé in an earthquake, and they want seconds. You have to respect the commitment to failure, honestly.
Then this past Wednesday, she popped up in Greenville at a South Carolina Democratic Party fundraiser at a restaurant called Crave. (We couldn’t make that up if we tried — the woman who craves the presidency dining at a place called Crave.) On Thursday she moved on to Columbia for a book tour stop promoting her new memoir “107 Days.”
Yes, she wrote a book about her 2024 campaign. She titled it “107 Days.” That’s how long her general election campaign lasted before the American people told her to pack it up. Most people don’t write memoirs about things that went horribly wrong in under four months, but most people aren’t Kamala Harris.
(Imagine writing a book called “107 Days” and thinking it makes you look GOOD. That’s like the captain of the Titanic publishing “My Weekend on the Water.”)
But here’s the part that should really bother every Democrat with two brain cells to rub together. She’s not just testing the waters in South Carolina. She’s been fundraising for state Democratic parties in Georgia and North Carolina too — two states she lost to Trump in 2024. She’s literally retracing the steps of her own defeat and calling it a comeback tour.
The RNC already sees right through it. Their national press secretary Kiersten Pels fired off a statement saying, “Democrats are kicking off the 2028 primary by parading Kamala Harris and a roster of failed governors trying to outrun their own records.”
That about sums it up, doesn’t it? The Democratic 2028 strategy so far is: run the same candidate who couldn’t win a single primary in 2020, got installed as the nominee without earning a single vote in 2024, and then proceeded to lose every swing state in the general. Brilliant strategy. Really top-shelf stuff from the party of “progress.”
And we haven’t even gotten to the approval ratings. This is the same Kamala Harris who spent four years as the least popular Vice President in modern polling history. The woman who was assigned the border crisis, produced zero results, and then tried to pretend the assignment never happened. The woman whose own staff leaked stories about how miserable it was to work for her.
But sure — run again. We’re begging you.
Here’s what’s actually happening. The Democratic bench is so barren, so devoid of talent, that a two-time loser looks like a frontrunner. Think about that. Kamala Harris — who has never won a competitive race outside of California — is considered the early favorite for 2028 because there’s literally nobody better.
Gavin Newsom? His state is on fire. Gretchen Whitmer? Michigan voters are already souring on her. Pete Buttigieg? He couldn’t fix a pothole in South Bend. The Democrats don’t have a farm team. They have a participation trophy shelf.
So Kamala rolls into Greenville, signs some books in Columbia, collects checks from donors who apparently have money to burn, and the media treats it like the second coming of Obama. Meanwhile, the rest of us are sitting here watching this unfold like a slow-motion car crash at a comedy festival.
We genuinely hope she runs. Every Republican in America should be sending her campaign encouragement cards. Because if the Democrats want to go into 2028 with the same candidate who already proved — twice — that America doesn’t want what she’s selling, then who are we to stop them?
Third time’s the charm, Kamala. We’ll be here with the popcorn.
