An Axios survey of eight former senior advisers regarding Kamala Harris's potential candidacy reveals a divided but skeptical outlook. Only one adviser believes she will probably run, two view the odds as even, and five think she probably won't. A former insider claims she is performing the minimum required to remain in discussions for the 2028 election. Some team members described her as rational and great at acting but lukewarm on running. David Plouffe, who ran her 2024 campaign, predicted her strongest day would be the first day of her campaign. Critics argue she lacks the ability to understand issues or willingness to engage deeply without prompts, referencing her performance during her 2016 announcement and a prior interview where she appeared unaware of issues. The segment aired on Fox News during Fox & Friends, featuring Mike Waltz.
