前副总统卡马拉·哈里斯的盟友以及民主党代理人正在质疑这位前民主党候选人是否会成为党内的首选，权衡她在民主党中的知名度和尊重与选民希望继续前进的想法。
Allies of former Vice President Kamala Harris, as well as Democratic surrogates, are questioning whether the former Democratic nominee would be the top choice within the party, weighing her name recognition and respect among Democrats against the notion that voters want to move on.
“人们只是想继续前进，”南卡罗来纳州前州议员、拜登2020年代理人弗莱彻·史密斯告诉《华盛顿邮报》。“我们有一些有能力领导的年轻一代--我们有州长、国会议员、参议员。我认为她需要做的就是袖手旁观2028年，让其他一些人有机会拯救我们的民主。“许多民主党盟友指出，哈里斯在党内很受尊重，但质疑尊重是否转化为支持。
"People just want to move on," Fletcher Smith, a former state legislator in South Carolina and Biden 2020 surrogate, told The Washington Post. "We’ve got a number of younger generation of people who are capable of leading — we’ve got governors, we’ve got congresspeople, we have senators. I think what she needs to do is sit out 2028 and let some other people have a shot at saving our democracy." Many Democratic allies noted Harris is well respected within the party, but questioned whether respect translated into support.
民主党人回避有关哈里斯是否应该竞选2028年总统的问题“她在党内非常受欢迎，人们非常喜欢她，希望她受到高度尊重和尊重--考虑到处于她职位的人应有的一切，”哈里斯前通讯总监贾马尔·西蒙斯告诉《华盛顿邮报》。“许多人认为她在2024年所做的事情是一种服务，她真正为党挺身而出，为乔·拜登挺身而出，为国家挺身而出。人们对她充满了尊重。但目前尚不清楚其中有多少会成为对另一次总统竞选的支持。播客主持人、前南卡罗来纳州参议员巴卡里·塞勒斯告诉《华盛顿邮报》，尽管她“非常有才华”，但她尚未定义2028年潜在的竞选对关键选区来说是什么样子。
DEMOCRATS SHY AWAY FROM QUESTIONS ON WHETHER HARRIS SHOULD RUN FOR PRESIDENT IN 2028 "She’s extraordinarily popular in the party and people are very fond of her and want her to be treated with a lot of respect and deference — given all the due of someone in her position," Jamal Simmons, a former communications director for Harris, told the Post. "Many people see it as a service what she did in 2024, where she really stepped up for the party, stepped up for Joe Biden, stepped up for the country. There’s a lot of respect for her. But it’s yet to be seen how much of that becomes support for another presidential run." Podcast host and former South Carolina state senator Bakari Sellers told the Post that though she is" very talented," she has yet to define what a potential 2028 run would look like to key constituencies.
塞勒斯告诉《华盛顿邮报》：“她发表的首批声明之一是关于人工智能的，而很明显她需要增加黑人男性的支持。”“加州有生活成本问题，而她根本没有谈论生活成本。“据《华盛顿邮报》报道，塞勒斯说他已经一年多没有和哈里斯说过话了。据报道，他表示，对于需要在南卡罗来纳州获胜的候选人来说，这令人担忧。
"One of the first statements she put out was about AI, when it’s clear she needs to boost her support among Black men," Sellers told the Post. "California has a cost-of-living issue, and she’s not talking about cost of living at all." The Post reported that Sellers said he hasn't spoken to Harris in over a year. He suggested that was concerning for a candidate who would need a victory in South Carolina, according to the report.
哈里斯在为2028年竞选开放后停止在关键的总统初选州在周一塞勒斯的播客中，他将哈里斯列为2028年前五名候选人的第二名。他说哈里斯才华横溢、聪明，但质疑她的团队是否会“让她变得伟大”。“让卡马拉成为卡马拉，在我心目中，你就会毫无疑问地拥有下一任美国总统，”他说。这位播客主持人将马里兰州州长韦斯·摩尔列为第一位，称他是哈里斯获得提名的“最大障碍”。
HARRIS STOPS IN KEY PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY STATE AFTER LEAVING DOOR WIDE OPEN TO 2028 RUN During Sellers' podcast on Monday, he listed Harris as No. 2 in his top five candidates for 2028. He said Harris was talented and intelligent, but questioned whether her team would "let her be great." "Let Kamala be Kamala, and you would have the next president of the United States without a doubt in my mind," he said. The podcast host ranked Maryland Gov. Wes Moore in the No. 1 spot, calling him the "biggest impediment" to Harris being the nominee.
曾参与希拉里·克林顿2016年竞选活动的民主党策略师凯万·什罗夫（Kaivan Shroff）告诉福克斯新闻数字台，哈里斯自2024年以来没有做任何不同的事情。
Democratic strategist Kaivan Shroff, who was part of Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign, told Fox News Digital that Harris hasn't done anything differently since 2024.
“自2024年以来，哈里斯没有做过任何真正新的或不同的事情。她担任副总裁后最大的知名度来自她的巡回售书活动。在没有新篇章或故事可讲的情况下再次参选就像在被拒绝后重新申请同一所大学，参加了间隔年，然后又带着基本相同的申请回来。你可以重写论文，但如果你没有做任何新的事情，招生人员仍然在查看同一份文件，”什罗夫说。
"Harris has not done anything truly new or different since 2024. Her greatest post-VP visibility came from her book tour. Running again without a new chapter or story to tell is like reapplying to the same college after getting rejected, taking a gap year, and coming back with basically the same application. You can rewrite the essay, but if you did nothing new, admissions is still looking at the same file," Shroff said.
什罗夫表示，新人可能比她更有优势，因为他们将在全国舞台上首次向选民介绍自己。
Shroff suggested somebody new might have the advantage over her because they would be introducing themselves to voters for the first time on a national stage.
“她没有机会重新介绍自己。这就是如此出名的负担。她在党内拥有真正的基础和很大的善意，但她也失败了，这让一些选民，重要的是，捐助者感到紧张。即使她在民意调查中开局很高，问题是，如果没有太多新内容可补充，增长从何而来，”他说。“像普利兹克这样的人至少有机会第一次向很多选民讲述他的故事。"
"She does not get to reintroduce herself. That is the burden of being so well known. She has a real base and a lot of goodwill in the party, but she also lost, and that makes some voters and, importantly, donors nervous. Even if she starts high in the polls, the question is where the growth comes from if there is not much new to add," he said. "Someone like a Pritzker at least gets the advantage of telling his story to a lot of voters for the first time."
什罗夫补充道：“哈里斯现在做得很好的是利用她作为党魁的地位，而不是表现得像一个等待的候选人。一个很好的例子是，尽管阿卜杜勒·埃尔·赛义德批评她，并且与密歇根州一些极左翼人士存在不和，但她还是出现在了她的身边。她承认存在分歧，仍然为他辩护，并利用自己的地位在关键时刻帮助团结该党--特别是在接触黑人选民方面。这是她现在拥有影响力的一个例子，无论她在2028年做什么，这将继续影响她是否寻求提名。加州州长加文·纽瑟姆在最近的一次采访中说，如果哈里斯计划参选，他不会在2028年参选。
Shroff added, "What Harris is doing well right now is using her position as a party leader rather than acting like a candidate in waiting. A great example is her showing up for Abdul El-Sayed despite his criticism of her and the bad blood with some on the far left in Michigan. She acknowledged the disagreements, still made the case for him, and used her stature to help unite the party in a critical moment — particularly with outreach to Black voters. That is an example of influence she has right now, regardless of what she does in 2028 and that will continue to matter whether she seeks the nomination or not." California Gov. Gavin Newsom said during a recent interview that he would not run in 2028 if Harris planned to run.
DEM Megadonor在2028年释放了现实中的哈里斯，而社会主义者Firebrand Harris还没有确定她是否计划参选，但她说她正在考虑。
DEM MEGADONOR UNLEASHES REALITY CHECK ON HARRIS FOR 2028 WHILE EYEING SOCIALIST FIREBRAND Harris has not been definitive on whether she plans to run, but has said she is thinking about it.
其他人对哈里斯更有信心，包括前副总裁的另一位前公关总监阿什利·艾蒂安。她告诉《华盛顿邮报》，哈里斯需要与民主党建制派分开，但表示她将在全国选举中拥有重大优势。
Others were more confident in Harris, including Ashley Etienne, another former communications director for the former VP. She told the Post that Harris would need to separate herself from the Democratic establishment, but said she would have major advantages in a national election.
卡维尔对敦促民主党从卡马拉·哈里斯时代继续前进并不“感到抱歉”“这几乎就像，为什么不是她呢？她已经证明，与竞选中的其他任何人不同，她拥有这些在全国选举中至关重要的优势，”她告诉《华盛顿邮报》。
CARVILLE DOESN'T 'FEEL SORRY' FOR URGING DEMOCRATS TO MOVE ON FROM THE KAMALA HARRIS ERA "It’s almost like, why not her? She has proven, unlike anyone else in the race, that she’s got these advantages that will matter in a national election," she told the Post.

Virginia Democratic state senator L. Louise Lucas told the Post that Democrats rejecting Harris too fast could be interpreted as a negative political move as well, suggesting it could be seen as overlooking a qualified Black woman for the position.
卢卡斯告诉《华盛顿邮报》：“毫无疑问，人们会感到不安，因为你看到了上次发生的事情。”“很可能有些人会非常失望，他们只会说，‘我放弃这个过程’--尤其是那些像我一样奋斗多年的人，他们经历了民权运动，经历了这么多，忍受了这么多，然后看到这种情况再次发生将是相当痛苦的。“当福克斯新闻数字公司询问哈里斯是否可能参加2028年竞选时，几位国会议员并没有急于支持她。
"There’s no question that people would be upset because you see what happened last time," Lucas told the Post. "It could very well be that some folks would be so disillusioned that they would just say, ‘I give up on this process’ — especially people who’ve been fighting as many years as I have, who have come through the civil rights movement and just experienced so much, endured so much, and then to see this happen again would be quite painful." Several members of Congress didn't rush to throw their support behind Harris when asked by Fox News Digital about her possibly running in 2028.
“嗯，我以前支持过她，但这次会有其他竞争者，”康涅狄格州民主党参议员理查德·布卢门撒尔，告诉福克斯新闻数字台。“我还没有决定支持谁。"
"Well, I've backed her before, but there'll be other contenders this time," Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., told Fox News Digital. "I've made no decisions about who I would support."
“我认为我们将举行一场非常、非常、非常混乱和非常大的初选，”密歇根州民主党参议员埃莉莎·斯洛特金（Elissa Slotkin），说“这将是每一个汤姆、迪克和哈利。这可能就是它应该在的地方。"
"I think we're going to have a very, very, very messy and very big primary," Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., said. "It's going to be every Tom, Dick and Harry. And that's probably where it should be."
“我们专注于2026年，”马里兰州民主党参议员安吉拉·阿尔索布鲁克斯（Angela Alsobrooks）说。“我们将赢回众议院和参议院。"
"We're focused on 2026," said Sen. Angela Alsobrooks, D-Md. "We're going to win back the House and the Senate."
她继续说道：“我爱卡玛拉·哈里斯。我有一种非常私人的友谊和关系。她太棒了我认为任何想参选的人都应该参选。她显然非常有资格。我们需要关注26年。"
She continued, "I love Kamala Harris. I have a very personal friendship and relationship. She's amazing. I think anybody who wants to run should. She's obviously very well qualified. We need to focus on '26."
