Former Vice President Kamala Harris told the “Win With Black Women” podcast that Democrats should broaden their “playbook” on voting rights and political reform, describing the conversation as a “no bad ideas” brainstorm.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris used an appearance with the “Win With Black Women” podcast to encourage Democrats to consider a range of structural political reforms, framing the conversation as what she called a “no bad ideas” brainstorm.

In remarks posted online and later highlighted by RealClearPolitics, Harris said an expanded “playbook” should include discussions about the Electoral College, “Supreme Court reform — which includes expanding the Supreme Court,” and the idea of statehood for Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. She also mentioned “multi-member districts” as another concept she wanted included in the discussion.

Harris tied the proposals to her broader argument that Democrats should respond aggressively—while staying within legal and ethical bounds—to what she described as long-running efforts to weaken voting rights protections, including recent Supreme Court decisions.

Al Sharpton’s National Action Network convention in New York, several prominent Democrats viewed as possible 2028 presidential contenders urged activists to focus on policy outcomes and voting rights, even as some attendees questioned whether the country is ready to elect candidates outside the traditional mold.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris gave her clearest indication yet of a potential 2028 presidential run during a speech at the National Action Network convention in New York on April 10. Responding to Rev. Al Sharpton, she said, “Listen, I might, I might. I’m thinking about it,” and promised to keep him posted. The audience of Black voters and power brokers responded with chants of “Run again!” and a standing ovation.

A POLITICO/Public First survey conducted May 9–11 finds a plurality of Democrats say their party should respond to Republican redistricting efforts even if it results in fewer majority-minority districts. The results come weeks after the Supreme Court’s April 29 decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which narrowed how Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act can be used in redistricting disputes.

In response to the Supreme Court's Callais v. Louisiana decision curtailing Voting Rights Act protections (as covered in this series), Alabama lawmakers have begun a special session to reinstate 2023 congressional maps if courts lift a prior ban. Critics say the move would undermine Black representation.
