Former Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday embraced a series of progressive policy proposals she did not campaign on in 2024, including expanding the Supreme Court and abolishing the Electoral College, as she continues weighing a potential 2028 presidential bid.
Speaking at the National Urban League Conference in Nashville, Tenn., Harris endorsed several proposals she did not publicly campaign on during her 2024 White House run.
“We must allow for a real conversation about revisiting certain things,” Harris said. “I know this is gonna be controversial coming from me, in particular. We need to revisit the Electoral College.”

Harris lost both the Electoral College and the popular vote to President Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
She also voiced support for expanding the Supreme Court.
“We need to revisit the point of expanding the court to 13 justices like we have 13 district courts,” Harris said.

While Harris has previously supported term limits for Supreme Court justices, expanding the court was not part of her 2024 campaign platform.
She also suggested the U.S. should revisit statehood for Puerto Rico, expanding beyond her previous support for statehood for Washington, D.C.
Despite the new policy positions, Harris said she has not yet decided whether she will seek the presidency in 2028.

“I have not made a decision,” she told attendees. “I am fully, sincerely, focused on these midterms.”
Harris’ remarks come as multiple Democratic aides and strategists have suggested she is the leading contender for the party’s 2028 presidential nomination.
When asked by Rev. Al Sharpton at the National Action Network’s 35th Anniversary Convention in April whether she planned to run for president again, Harris left the door open.
“I might. I might. I’m thinking about it… I’ll keep you posted,” she said.
Harris’ comments also come after she has recently courted progressive Democrats, including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Fox News Digital previously reported that Harris called Mamdani in May and later met privately with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., during a Black women’s empowerment summit in Chicago.
The outreach comes as Harris continues meeting with influential figures on the Democratic Party’s progressive wing ahead of a possible 2028 campaign.
