Story summary

Doug Emhoff, Kamala Harris' husband and former second gentleman, reportedly prefers that his wife does not run for president in 2028. According to the Wall Street Journal, Emhoff has expressed this preference privately to people close to him. Despite this, Emhoff is expected to support Harris if she decides to run. Donors who are hesitant about a potential 2028 bid have told Harris directly that it would be a "long shot," citing her dismal performance in the 2024 election where she lost both the popular vote and the Electoral College, as well as every swing state, despite raising an impressive $1.5 billion for her campaign. Despite these setbacks, Harris remains ahead of other potential Democratic candidates in hypothetical 2028 polls by double digits. However, at a recent NAACP event in Michigan, Harris stated that she has "not decided" whether to run again.
