Kamala Harris delivered a pre-recorded video message to attendees of the 2025 Voters of Tomorrow (VoT) Fight For Our Future Summit in Washington, D.C., on Friday.

Her remarks, which lasted under two minutes, marked one of her few public appearances since leaving office in January.

Harris had been listed as the closing speaker at the summit, which was VoT’s fourth annual national conference.

Despite the prominent billing, her speech was significantly shorter than expected and offered limited policy detail.

In her address, Harris drew comparisons between Generation Z and Americans who came of age during World War II.

“Your generation has grown up on the front lines of so many crises, from [COVID-19] and the climate crisis, to gun violence and mental health,” Harris said.

“Not only are you demanding action, you are actively shaping the future, and we need to invest, then, in your generation,” she added.

Harris continued by referencing the support offered to World War II veterans through initiatives such as the GI Bill and federal housing programs.

“I think of you the way history thought of the greatest generation. Remember when our country made a decision to invest in their future with the GI Bill, affordable housing, and economic opportunity. So we’ve done it before, and in this moment, I believe it is time we do it for you.”

She closed her remarks by encouraging young activists to continue building political coalitions and pressuring institutions for change.

“Keep building your political power, your community, and your coalitions,” Harris said.

“And borne out of our love for our country, keep fighting to build a country and a nation that works for everyone. I look forward to continuing in the fight alongside you.”

The appearance comes as Harris is reportedly considering a run for governor of California in 2028.

While she has not made a formal announcement, political observers have noted her limited public presence since exiting office, suggesting she may be weighing her political options following her unsuccessful 2024 presidential campaign.

Harris has not ruled out another White House run. However, her standing within the Democratic Party has weakened.

According to the most recent prediction market data from Polymarket, Harris currently ranks fifth among potential Democratic contenders for the 2028 nomination.

Her video appearance at the VoT summit marked one of the few recent moments in which Harris has publicly addressed national political audiences.
