Kam teases run with mob boss misfire

You can't make this stuff up.

Harris, the failed 2024 White House nominee, said over the weekend she just "might" run again.

"Listen, I might, I might," the former vice president told Sharpton. "I'm thinking about it."

JD Vance and Marco Rubio must be cowering in fear.

President Donald Trump doubled his share of Black voters in 2024 and Democrats think the way to combat that is to go to Al Sharpton for guidance?

The 61-year-old Harris, addressing an audience of black activists at the Sharpton conference in New York City, also mimicked what she thought was an Al Pacino mob boss accent to trash President Donald Trump.

"The way that he's thinking of foreign policy, it seems, is when he talks about America first. It's to withdraw from these relationships and these connections," Harris said. "And then he kind of, Rev, like a mob boss."

"So then he's kind of like, ‘Well you know, you take Eastern Europe and I'll take the Western Hemisphere, and then you over there, you get Asia. And we'll just divide it up,'" she said, the accent getting more bizarre as she went along.

"Add Mafia boss to Kamala Harris's list of embarrassing accents," the Republican National Convention team wrote.

Harris, from Berkeley California, sometimes adopted a southern accent as she campaigned in 2024.

She was among about a dozen potential Democratic presidential hopefuls — each one lamer than the next — to address the Sharpton gathering at a Midtown hotel, an odd choice for Democrats to kick off the 2028 cycle.

And they want to prevent New Hampshire from holding the first primary?

Politico reported that Harris drew the most "buzz" at the disgraced Sharpton's National Action Network Convention over the weekend.

Other potential "star" candidates included former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Arizona Sens. Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, Rep. Ro Khanna of California, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker.

Sounds more like a roster of potential VP candidates.

Buttigieg "strongly hinted" at another presidential run, Politico reported.

Democrats lost a major chunk of Black voters to Trump in 2024 and if they keep going like this, will lose even more in the next election.

Harris urged Black voters to be "transactional" with their votes in 2028.

"Get yours," she told Sharpton. "Vote and say, I'm voting because I expect something out of this. I'm saying it's okay to also give people permission to be transactional, and to say, if you will get my vote, this is what I expect. I expect to get something out of this."
