What happened
Former Vice President Kamala Harris has privately contacted New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and other progressive Democratic figures as she weighs a possible 2028 presidential campaign. Axios reported that Harris called Mamdani last week to discuss the future of the Democratic Party and has also met or communicated with pro-Palestinian activists, former aides and left-wing organizers. Mamdani confirmed on SiriusXM that Harris has been “in touch” with him for months, reinforcing signs that she is trying to repair or deepen relationships with the party’s progressive wing after 2024. The outreach comes as speculation grows about another Harris White House bid and as some polling shows her well positioned in a potential Democratic primary field.
