Former Vice President Kamala Harris on July 21 marked one year since she launched her bid for the presidency, using the occasion to reaffirm her message of unity and civic action.
“One year ago today, I began my campaign for President of the United States,” Harris said in a post on X. “Over the 107 days of our race, I had the opportunity and honor to travel our nation and meet with Americans who were fighting for a better future.”

“Today, millions of Americans continue to stand up for our values, our ideals, and our democracy. Their courage and resolve inspires me. Whether you are attending a protest, calling your representatives, or building community, I want to say: Thank you. We are in this fight together,” she added.
Harris entered the race in July 2024 after former President Joe Biden announced he would not seek re-election. Her campaign was quickly endorsed by senior Democratic figures and drew strong grassroots fundraising. Despite initial momentum, she lost to Donald Trump in the November general election.
Since then, Harris has remained politically active. In April, she delivered a speech at the Emerge America gala, accusing the Trump administration of a “wholesale abandonment of America’s highest ideals” and warning of the risks of economic instability under his leadership.
With speculation mounting over her next political move, Harris is widely seen as a potential contender in California’s 2026 gubernatorial race and remains a leading figure in early polling for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination.
She has indicated she will announce her decision by the end of summer. A recent Emerson College poll shows her with 57 percent support among Democratic primary voters, though party insiders say key donors remain cautiously watchful.
