Is Kamala Harris mounting a political comeback—or just clinging to what’s left of her failed legacy?
After disappearing from the national stage following her crushing defeat by President Donald Trump in the 2024 election, former Vice President Kamala Harris is set to re-emerge next month—this time, as the headline speaker at a high-priced Democratic National Committee fundraiser in New York City.
Luxury Fundraiser Signals Harris’s Return to the Spotlight
Scheduled for May 6, the event is billed as a “discussion” between Harris and DNC Chair Ken Martin. According to reports from The New York Times, tickets start at $25,000 and go as high as $44,300 per person—a steep price for a conversation with one of the most unpopular vice presidents in recent memory.
For Democrats, this exclusive gathering represents more than just a political fundraiser—it’s a trial balloon for Harris’s future. For conservatives, it’s a tone-deaf spectacle that reminds voters of the elitism and disconnect that cost Democrats dearly in 2024.
Harris Weighs Gubernatorial Run—Despite Poor Polling
Behind the scenes, Harris is reportedly considering a run for governor of California in 2026 or even another attempt at the White House in 2028. According to Politico, she has told insiders she will make a decision by this summer, stating, “I’m staying in this fight.”
Recent polls, however, paint a grim picture for her chances. In a statewide survey by Emerson College and Inside California Politics, over 50% of likely voters said they don’t want Harris to run at all, despite her current lead among Democrat contenders.
Policy Think Tank in the Works?
Multiple sources have indicated that Harris may also launch a “policy and ideas institute”—a classic move by career politicians seeking to stay relevant without holding office. Critics argue it’s more about image rehabilitation than genuine leadership.
The move is eerily similar to what failed Democratic figures have done in the past—cash in on speaking gigs and think tanks while avoiding accountability for disastrous policies, including the border crisis and inflationary spending during the Biden-Harris years.
Even Newsom Distances Himself from Harris Era
Current California Governor Gavin Newsom, who is term-limited and also eyeing a 2028 presidential run, recently admitted that the Democrat brand turned “toxic” under Harris and Biden. Newsom stressed the need to reach out to Trump voters and middle America—a sign of just how far Democrats have fallen out of touch.
His remarks underscore a growing divide within the party, as the progressive elite continue to alienate working-class Americans with high taxes, open-border policies, and radical social agendas.
The Bottom Line for Conservative Readers
Kamala Harris may be plotting her political return, but many Americans—especially those who lived through the chaos of the Biden-Harris administration—aren’t eager to relive it. With President Trump leading the charge to restore American greatness, Harris’s reappearance only reminds voters of the failed policies they left behind.
Will her $44,000-a-plate dinner sway voters? Or will it backfire like so many Democrat stunts before?
