Kamala Harris draws criticism for a somber July 4 message and a photo that omits Biden, fueling speculation about her future ambitions.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris sparked backlash over her somber Independence Day post, which included a photo reportedly taken in July 2024 but cropped to exclude President Biden and the First Lady.
The post’s reflective tone—highlighting national hardships—stood in stark contrast to celebratory Independence Day rhetoric, prompting accusations of subtle political messaging ahead of 2028 speculation.
Social media critics seized on both the mood and imagery, suggesting Harris was distancing herself from Biden, with some reading into it a hint at future presidential or gubernatorial ambitions.
Recent polling shows her favorability among Democrats has dipped to around 13 percent, compared to 37 percent in November, putting renewed focus on whether she will run in 2028. Harris plans to decide by the end of summer.
