On Wednesday, the long quiet “KamalaHQ” account on X teased a forthcoming announcement.
And after much speculation that former vice president and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris might be mounting another campaign for the White House in 2028, Harris herself emerged to make what turned out to make what was a rather underwhelming announcement on Thursday.

I’m really excited about it. So stay engaged and I’ll see you out there. Thank you.”
