Former US Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday reactivated a campaign account on social media, sparking widespread speculation about her potential return to the White House race in the next cycle. Harris said in a video posted on her 'X' platform account, which she renamed 'Headquarters_67': 'I'm really excited about this,' in a symbolic reference to the numbers 6 and 7, popular among 'Gen Z' members. The account also appeared on the 'TikTok' platform under the name 'Headquarters' only, after remaining inactive since Donald Trump's victory was announced in the November 2024 elections.
Harris explained that the reactivated account will work to provide information aimed at American youth, with a focus on highlighting what she described as 'our great brave leaders,' including elected officials and prominent civil society figures, and concluded her speech by inviting followers to stay in touch.
This move comes at a time when several opinion polls have shown Harris leading the list of potential Democratic Party candidates for the 2028 presidential election, ahead of prominent rivals such as California Governor Gavin Newsom. In contrast, President Donald Trump's camp launched an immediate attack, with White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson mocking Harris's increased media presence, and the 'Trump War Room' account posting sarcastic comments about her political return.
The activation of the accounts coincided with a promotional tour Harris is undertaking in US states for her new book '107 Days,' a title that refers to the duration of her abbreviated presidential campaign in 2024 after Joe Biden's withdrawal. The book detailed Biden's nomination and his blunders, and her recalculations with the former administration's team.
Harris announced that her promotional tour will continue throughout 2026, which political analysts and informed sources considered a practical and early prelude to a new return to the competition for the US presidency.
I'm really excited about this, stay in touch and we'll meet there.
