Barricaded in her home: Anger in the Democratic Party over Kamala Harris's games

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is barricaded in her Malibu home and refuses to announce whether she will run for president in 2028, while potential Democratic candidates express disdain for the wait and refuse to clear the path for her. A senior donor claims she is "not in the conversation."

Former Vice President Kamala Harris is barricaded in her new home in Malibu, California, running an isolated version of a campaign: she posts videos online, taunts President Trump, and holds conversations with supporters, but maintains complete ambiguity about a third presidential run in 2028. Her associates emphasize that she is focused on the 2026 midterm elections and will not rush her decision. The uncertainty is stirring unrest within the Democratic Party. California Governor Gavin Newsom has stated he will not run against Harris if she does, a move that has caused concern among his staff. Meanwhile, other candidates like Congressman Ro Khanna and Senator Ruben Gallego express disdain for the wait and refuse to clear the path for her. A senior donor claims that "no serious donor is waiting for a call from Kamala; she's just not in the conversation right now." The article cites a CNN report.
