Kamala Harris is reportedly considering another run for president, according to recent reports, as the political landscape for Democrats continues to shift. At Al Sharpton’s National Action Network convention, a crowd began chanting “Run again!” and Harris responded with a smile, saying, "I might. I am thinking about it." In recent months, Harris has reportedly engaged with key figures on the Democratic left, including New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani and James Zogby, a prominent Arab American activist and head of the Arab American Institute. Zogby confirmed a lengthy conversation with Harris, during which she expressed a desire to "correct the historical record" about her stance on Palestinian rights and the events of 2024. Zogby described the discussion positively, noting that he felt good about it and believed Harris was a good person. Zogby has long been involved in advocating for Palestinian rights within the Democratic Party. At the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, he participated in a panel on Palestinian human rights with Dr. Tanya Haj-Hassan, a pediatric intensive care physician who had volunteered in Gaza, and Hala Hijazi, a Democratic organizer who had lost relatives in the conflict. Layla Elabed, co-founder of the "uncommitted movement," also joined the panel. Zogby noted that the conversation about Palestinian rights was significant and that the Harris campaign's willingness to engage with the movement was a positive step. Behind the scenes, efforts were made to have a Palestinian American speaker at the convention, but Harris ultimately declined the request, leading to protests. In her address, she described the suffering in Gaza as "devastating" and said Palestinians deserved "dignity, security, freedom, and self-determination." Despite the applause, activists felt the remarks were not sufficient. Harris lost Michigan to Donald Trump by under 100,000 votes and the election overall. Zogby expressed frustration with the 2024 election outcome but did not directly blame Harris for the loss. He believed the campaign failed by overrelying on political consultants and pollsters, suggesting that Harris may have had different instincts but lacked control over her campaign. Zogby had advised Harris to give a speech acknowledging Palestinian suffering and offering some recognition of their rights and future. He recalled that she had already scheduled a speech and suggested she go off script, referencing Bill Clinton's best lines. Elabed, a leader of the 2024 uncommitted movement, met with Harris at a campaign stop near Detroit before the convention. She described her encounter with Harris as positive, noting her genuine sympathy and empathy. However, she expressed some reservations about Harris's memoir, where she wrote that activists threatening to withhold their votes felt "reckless" to her. Elabed hoped that if Harris runs again, she would be able to run genuinely and authentically. Since 2024, Democratic voters have moved further away from unconditional support for the Israeli government. Candidates criticizing such support have won Democratic primaries, and more than 100 House Democrats recently voted to eliminate billions in military assistance to Israel. Activists who were once outside the convention are now deeply involved in Democratic politics. Alawieh, who had pressed for a Palestinian speaker at the 2024 convention, recently won the Democratic nomination for a Michigan state Senate seat and received a call from Harris. In July, Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican who opposes foreign aid, prompted a House vote on eliminating $3.3 billion in annual assistance to Israel. The amendment failed 314–104, with 103 of the 104 votes to cut the aid coming from Democrats. This would have been unthinkable a decade ago. Zogby was asked if Harris had overcome the issues from 2024 and could become the kind of candidate Democrats like him could support. He responded positively, saying he believes she could and deserves the chance to do it.
