Former US vice president Kamala Harris has given her first television interview since losing last year’s presidential election, where she reluctantly endorsed New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. In an interview with Rachel Maddow on MSNBC on Monday, Harris said that she "supports the Democrat in the race" for New York mayor, scheduled for later this year. The Democratic Party's former presidential candidate's endorsement is Mamdani's most high-profile yet, despite Harris omitting his name during the announcement. Harris also firmly rejected the possibility of running in the 2028 presidential election, saying it wasn't "her focus at all". During her presidential campaign, Harris was criticised by pro-Palestinian activists for saying she would maintain military support for Israel despite the deadly onslaught in Gaza.
