Former Vice President Kamala Harris is set to return to politics with an upcoming fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee in New York.

Harris, 60, has kept a low profile since her emphatic 2024 election defeat by President Trump, but is widely assumed to be deciding between running for California governor in 2026 or seeking the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028.

The May 6 event is being billed as a discussion between Harris and DNC Chairman Ken Martin, according to the New York Times, which also reported that tickets start at $25,000 and go as high as $44,300.

The former veep has reportedly told allies she will make a decision about what she wants to do by the end of this summer, but has insisted, as Politico quoted her saying last month, “I’m staying in this fight.”

In addition to a future run for office, Harris is also considering launching an “institute for policy and ideas,” per multiple reports that circulated earlier this month.

Harris is currently the front-runner among potential California gubernatorial candidates, polling at 31% in a hypothetical jungle primary — but half of likely Golden State voters don’t want to see her in the election at all, according to an Emerson College Polling/Inside California Politics/The Hill survey published Thursday.

Incumbent Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom is due to leave office in January 2027 due to term limits, and has also been floated as a potential 2028 Democratic candidate.

Newsom, 57, has argued that the Democratic Party brand became “toxic” during Harris’ time as former President Joe Biden’s second-in-command and needs to reach out to Republicans and Trump voters to build a winning coalition.

The DNC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
