MS NOW host Al Sharpton feels former Vice President Kamala Harris<\/a> has been “been ignored” for a potential 2028 presidential run, but will make sure the Black community appreciates her efforts at his upcoming convention.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sharpton is gearing up for next week\u2019s National Action Network\u2019s 35th Anniversary Convention, a New York City<\/a> event that Politico Playbook said will bring together a “who’s who” of Black political power brokers, potential 2028 Democratic candidates vying for Black voters, and top influencers.<\/p>\n

Harris is an expected attendee, alongside other potential 2028 candidates such as Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and former Transportation Secretary\u00a0Pete Buttigieg<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sharpton intends to remind attendees that Harris remains a popular figure among Black potential voters, even after the party is still reeling over her 2024 loss to President Donald Trump<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I wouldn’t ignore the fact\u00a0that she\u2019s absolutely a potent force in the Black community,” Sharpton told Politico<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I do not have any idea whether she’s going to try to go again, but I think she’s due all the respect for what she did, and the fact that she got more votes than any presidential candidate in American history, other than Trump,” Sharpton continued. “I think she has been ignored, and we’re going to raise that at our convention.”<\/p>\n

Sharpton appeared to forget former President Joe Biden<\/a> still remains the official record-holder for most votes by a candidate in 2020, when he won 81.2 million.<\/p>\n

Harris is also planning to attend a series of fundraisers for state parties in North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia in the coming weeks, and will speak at an Arkansas Democratic Party event later this month, according to Politico.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The publication suggested Harris\u2019 “southern swing is both the surest sign that she is primed for a 2028 comeback bid,” and also a signal the other contenders need to improve their standing among Black voters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“That you’ve got several candidates\u00a0that have had experience and have won Black votes in their states makes this very competitive\u2026 nobody can walk in taking the Black vote for granted,” Sharpton told Politico.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Far-left podcaster Joy Reid, a former colleague of Sharpton when MS NOW was still MSNBC, recently said Harris should not run for president again, arguing the U.S. would never elect a woman to the office of the presidency.<\/p>\n

“I hope she doesn’t run again. I don’t think she should run again,” Reid said on the “One54” podcast<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I think there are great ways she can serve,” Reid added. “I don’t think that the United States is going to elect a woman in my lifetime.”<\/p>\n

Harris suggested she may run for president again<\/u><\/a> during an interview in February.<\/p>\n
