[PJ] Kamala Harris insists she hasn't decided whether she's running for president in 2028, but she accidentally gave the game away.
Obviously, nobody in the Democrat Party is exactly begging her to jump in. The establishment has been pushing back hard on the idea of a third Kamala campaign. Former allies and donors grumble that she squandered her first year out of office, and they can't come up with a single reason voters should take another look at her. Even her husband, Doug Emhoff, reportedly isn't thrilled about her running again.
You'd think all that would give her pause. Instead, Kamala keeps dropping hints, and her latest one came at an event in Las Vegas, where she debuted a slower, lower-pitched speaking style. It's the newest entry in her long record of changing her voice and speech cadence depending on who's sitting in the audience.
"That era of feeling powerless — like what can we do, this just keeps happening — that era is over because we are now 13 days away from doing something about it to stop the pain," Kamala said, speaking slowly and in a lower register, as if to a room of sleepy kindergarteners.
She kept up the same condescending tone while urging Nevada voters to back Democrats in the state's governor's race and for Congress.
"So that's where we are right now, and that's kind of exciting," she continued. "Right? This is some good stuff. Like, we're taking our power, we're using it, to determine who will hold offices like being the governor of Nevada. Which is so important for the people everyday on the most basic issues that affect our lives. Who will continue to walk those halls of Congress, being an extraordinary fighter."
