Former Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly has reached out to progressive and socialist Democrats in an attempt to build relationships before a 2028 presidential run.

Harris has been quietly courting influential figures on the Democratic Party’s left flank, including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and pro-Palestinian activists as she lays the groundwork for a possible White House bid, Axios reported Wednesday.

The outlet reported Harris called Mamdani last week to discuss the party’s future after candidates he backed scored victories in New York City congressional primaries.

The former vice president also has held private meetings with activists connected to the “Uncommitted Movement,” which emerged in opposition to President Joe Biden’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war.

The outreach comes as Harris seeks to shore up support from the party’s progressive base after many on the left criticized her 2024 campaign for remaining too closely aligned with Biden’s Middle East policies.
