🇺🇸⚡ Axios reports: Kamala Harris, a former vice president, is said to be ramping up her private efforts to reach out to progressive Democrats, including Zehran Mammadani, the mayor of New York, and prominent pro-Palestinian activists, amid increased rumors about the possibility of her running in the 2028 presidential election. 💢 Harris reportedly called Mammadani last week to discuss the future of the Democratic Party and planning for a longer conversation. She has also held private meetings with figures including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Abbas Alavi, the co-founder of the “No Commitments” movement, and James Zogby, a longtime advocate for Palestinian rights. 💢 These outreach efforts are being viewed as an attempt to strengthen ties with the party’s left wing, especially after criticism of how the Biden administration has managed the war in Gaza. Harris has also consulted with Democratic allies on issues including China, artificial intelligence, and Venezuela as she weighs her political future. 💢 Although Harris remains one of the leading contenders in early polls for the Democratic nomination in the 2028 election, some progressive activists and Arab Americans remain skeptical, saying that any shift in her position on Gaza must be backed by concrete policy commitments. 🔴 News
