Clyburn leaves major name off list of future Democratic leaders — before correcting himself
Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) did not include Vice President Kamala Harris on his short list for leaders in the Democratic Party post-2028.
He listed Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD), Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-cA), Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA), and Gov. Roy Cooper (D-NC) as top contenders in an interview with Politico.
But when asked about Vice President Kamala Harris, Clyburn said she would still be relevant to the party.
“Well, she’s automatically on the list as vice president,” Clyburn said.
