Who wants Kamala Harris to run again? | America, Actually

About this video

Despite a bruising defeat in the 2024 presidential election, early polling has Kamala Harris ahead of major Democratic alternatives like Gavin Newsom and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for a 2028 run. Her loyal base says that another White House bid feels like an opportunity to build a real campaign free from the constraints of last time. But there’s a lot of division behind the scenes. This week, Vox’s Astead Herndon travels to a picnic in the crucial primary state of South Carolina to ask voters directly what they think. And then, Astead talks with the prominent Democratic donor John Morgan, who says it’s time to turn the page on the Biden-Harris era entirely. 00:00 - Is Kamala Harris running for president (again?) 01:44 - Democratic insiders make the case for Harris 2028 04:40 - Taking the question to South Carolina voters 06:01 - Is America ready for a Black woman president? 08:20 - The generational divide 11:49 - The "third time's a charm" perspective 17:32 - What Democratic donors are thinking 23:56 - The push for a fresh Democratic bench 25:15 - Counting the votes from South Carolina America, Actually publishes video episodes every Saturday tackling key issues in politics, culture, and the economy.
