Kamala Harris Courts Zohran Mamdani, Pro-Palestinian Groups for 2028 Bid

Summary
Kamala Harris has called New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and held closed-door meetings with progressive groups as she weighs a 2028 presidential run, according to reports confirmed by Fox News Digital.
Those outreach efforts appear aimed at repairing weak ties with Democratic factions that did not back her in 2024, including at least one group tied to the Uncommitted Movement over Biden’s handling of Gaza.
Harris also met privately with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at a Black women empowerment summit in Chicago, widening her engagement with influential progressive figures.
Mamdani’s clout has risen since taking office in January, underscored by socialist-aligned candidates he endorsed sweeping New York Democratic primaries last month.
The outreach comes after Harris hinted in April that she may run again in 2028 and after earlier stops in South Carolina, a key Democratic primary state.
