Doug Emhoff, Kamala Harris's husband, has privately expressed to people that he does not want her to run for president in 2028, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. Despite this, those close to Emhoff expect him to support Harris if she decides to run. Additionally, some donors have told Harris directly that another presidential bid would be risky and unlikely to succeed given her poor performance in the 2024 election where she lost both the popular vote and Electoral College. However, Harris remains noncommittal about running again, maintaining she has not made a decision while still engaging in activities that could support a future campaign.

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.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
