Democrat strategist Theryn Bond is not on board with a potential third presidential run for Vice President Kamala Harris, who recently lost the 2024 election to President-elect Donald Trump and failed to launch her 2020 bid past the end of 2019.
Bond joined the hosts of Newsmax’s “National Report” on Tuesday when the conversation turned to Harris’ political future — which, according to a report from POLITICO, could include either a third run for the White House or a run for governor in her home state of California.

"I hope [Kamala Harris] doesn't [run for president in '28]. And if she is relying on those same advisers that advised her this cycle, that's not who I would listen to."

When asked whether she thought Harris was making the right decision when she promised donors and allies that she intended to stay “in the fight,” Bond made it clear that she didn’t believe that fight should extend to another presidential campaign.
“Not to run for president again in 2028. Please don’t,” she said.
“I can’t really speak for governor of California. Californians seem to support her significantly,” Bond continued. “We haven’t yet been able to measure what that support looks like after this current run she just had. That may be the only thing that she, I guess, may make sense for her to consider, but another shot at the presidency, I hope she doesn’t, and if she is relying on those same advisers that advised her this cycle, that’s not who I would listen to.”

Bond is not the only one who’s not thrilled about a possible third Harris campaign. Democrat megadonor John Morgan also cautioned her against another attempt, criticizing her campaign for blowing through more than $1 billion and still coming up empty in 2024.
Morgan told NewsNation host Chris Cuomo that Harris’ mismanagement of her campaign and money “disqualified her forever,” adding that she “cannot be trusted with the money.”
“If you can’t run a campaign, you can’t run America,” he said. “The same thing is going to follow Harris for the rest of her career. She cannot be trusted with the money, and the donors are going to be, like, ‘Where is this money?’”
