Even with the midterm elections just seven months away, the left wing media has been spending more and more time focusing on who might make up the field for the 2028 presidential race, mostly on the Democrat side. On Friday they were handed a gift by Al Sharpton, who welcomed several of those names to a stage at his National Action Network confab in New York City. Among those in attendance was Kamala Harris, who indicated that she may well run again, despite some doubters on the left, doubters who apparently do not include CNN's John King, who hosted Friday's edition of The Lead. King began a segment on this with a clip from Harris's appearance at Al Sharpton's event.  SHARPTON FROM CLIP: Are you going to run again in '28. HARRIS FROM CLIP: Listen, I might I might I'm thinking about it. Then it was King's turn, and he seemed to be excited by Harris's response, like that's surprising news. KING: That's the former Vice President Kamala Harris confirming right there. You saw it, that she may she might, she's thinking about it, might run again for president in 2028. Her comments today at the National Action Network Convention and against mounting speculation about what she might do next with her political career. Before heading to his CNN contributors, liberal Karen Finney, and conservative Shermichael Singleton, King seemed to be auditioning to be on that '28 campaign staff. KING: So for all the people I encounter who say, oh my God, please don't, she shouldn't run again because she lost, I say to them, well, who can beat her in the current field? As someone who's raised $1 billion? Yes. Made some mistakes in the campaign, without a doubt, but also was trying to do something near impossible in 110 days. Should she run? It was actually 107 Days, which was the name of Harris's book on her failed campaign, and unlike King, some on the left like Bill Maher spoke out against what they saw as Harris using that number as an excuse, along with her claim that Joe Biden had sabotaged her debate performance against Donald Trump, and more. Finney didn't seem to be as excited about the prospect as King, giving a very safe response. FINNEY: I think everybody and anybody who wants to run should say they might be running right now. And that is the advice that I give to all the candidates when they come through....Because as you know, John, until we get to the point where we see who actually makes it onto the primary debate stage, anybody is a viable candidate for the most part. King then introduced another very short clip from Harris, and strangely gave his own positive take on it, prior to playing it for the panel and the viewers. KING: So my biggest question for her would be, has she learned. You lose a race have you learned? What you did right, emphasize that, double down on it, What you did wrong, maybe learn from it. Listen to this, Shermichael, she says she understands the job, she knows what it takes, and she seems to sound like she is learning. HARRIS CLIP: The status quo is not working and hasn't been working for a lot of people for a long time. And part of the the issue is the need to get rid of some of the bureaucracy in government. Sounds like she is learning? If King had extended that clip for a few seconds, we would have heard Harris resort to what will probably be a slogan in her campaign should she run, "They don't want process, they want progress." Sounds like more of the same from 2024. SINGLETON: Look, you never underestimate a candidate. The Vice President did get more votes than what, any other Democrat in history. I wouldn't discount her ability. It's a matter of what does the operations look like? She clearly can raise the money. So I'm not going to discount that.  And before the segment ended, King seemed to be making one final excuse for Harris's 2024 failure.  KING: We were talking about this before we came on camera, what's the climate out there? Sometimes even the best candidates sometimes get whooshed by a climate, and sometimes weak candidates get carried along by a climate. I guess King will be banking on his belief in a climate change, should Harris decide to run.
