Former Vice President Kamala Harris is lending a hand to Democrats as
they attempt to rake in donations on Tuesday in her latest appearance as
she reemerges into the spotlight after her November election loss.

Harris is slated to appear at a closed-door New York City fundraiser in conversation with Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin.

Ahead of the event, in response to inquiries about Harris'
participation, a DNC spokesperson told ABC News that it views Harris as
a "powerful" and "galvanizing" force in the party and grateful for her
help.

"Vice President Harris continues to be a powerful and galvanizing voice
for Democrats, and we are grateful for her commitment to strengthening
the party, firing up grassroots supporters, and holding Republicans
accountable for their attacks on working families," a DNC spokesperson
said in a statement.

The fundraiser comes as Harris begins to ramp up public appearances both political and apolitical, and as speculation continues over her
political future.

On Wednesday, Harris sharply criticized President Donald Trump over
tariffs, government cuts and the direction his administration is taking
the country in remarks in San Francisco.

"Instead of an administration working to advance America's highest
ideals, we are witnessing the wholesale abandonment of those ideals,"
Harris told attendees at a gala celebrating an organization that
supports Democratic women running for office.

On Monday, Harris and her spouse Doug Emhoff made a surprise appearance
at the annual Met Gala in New York City, joining celebrities and
socialites in celebrating and supporting the Metropolitan Museum of
Art's Costume Institute.


Harris told Vogue, "Art has always had a significant impact on not just culture, but also our policies and politics."

moves they say are against America's values The specifics of her
political future remain an open question. Harris has been mulling
running for governor in California and will make a decision by the end
of summer, two sources familiar with her plans told ABC News in March.
And in February, Harris signed with talent agency CAA. Former President
Joe Biden has also signed with CAA.

Some Democrats have also floated her as a potential 2028 presidential candidate, although some of her longtime supporters have told ABC News
they are torn over that prospect.

Go ahead. Run that stupid woman. I dare you.
