Susan Page: The Problem for Kamala Harris Is That Dems Haven’t Re-Nominated a Failed Presidential Candidate Since Adlai Stevenson

‘But it’s clear that the California governor’s race did not engage her attention the way a potential national race has done’

EXCERPT:

PAGE: “Yeah, you know, the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination battle, it's like a full employment project for Democratic officials. We've got senators, we've got governors, we've got former officials like Kamala Harris all out there, meeting with voters, sometimes going to places like Iowa and South Carolina and New Hampshire. That always gets our attention. So this is, I think, going to be a wide open race. I would just note one problem that Kamala Harris may have, which is that Democrats historically have not been interested in nominating again someone who ran, got the nomination, and failed. I don't believe the Democrats have re-nominated someone in that position since Adlai Stevenson.”
