All eyes were on the much-touted return of Kamala Harris to politics as she was named as a speaker at a youth voters event Friday in Washington, DC, but she spoke only for a few minutes and that too not in person. She sent a pre-recorded video address in which she urged the youth to "stay in the fight". Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Dem Rep Ro Khanna addressed the event in person.
“Keep building your political power, keep building community, keep building coalitions, keep challenging the status quo,” Kamala Harris said. “And born out of our love for our country, keep fighting to build a country and a nation. That works for everyone. And I look forward to continuing in the fight alongside you. You take care.”
“Your generation has grown up on the front lines of so many crises — from COVID and the climate crisis to gun violence and mental health.”
“It is critically important that we have organizations such as this who understand that we must be intentional about lifting up our young leaders and encouraging your ambition,” she added calling the youth the greatest generation.
Kamala Harris has been on a political hibernation as she left the White House after the election defeat. She said she will stay in the fight but her political future is not certain now as she did not announce whether she wants to contest in the California Governor election or whether she wants to prepare for the presidential election 2028. Her party is also reeling under a leadership crisis and many of her ex-aides believe that she is losing her chance in California every day as she drags her feet to make a political decision.
Harris set an end-of-summer deadline for a decision on her political future and Democrats are also growing impatient over her California announcement. Insiders said she was exploring book and talk deals and is still weighing her political options.
