Kamala Harris Reactivates Campaign Social Media Account

Former US vice president Kamala Harris on Thursday relaunched -- and rebranded -- one of her main presidential campaign social media accounts in a push to organize young voters, sparking speculation of another White House run.

"I'm really excited about it," the defeated 2024 Democratic candidate said in a video on the newly renamed account, @headquarters_67 -- a nod to the 6-7 youth meme.

On TikTok the account is called simply @headquarters.

The X account, originally "KamalaHQ," had been dormant since November 5, 2024, the day of the election won by Donald Trump.

According to AFP, Harris said the feed would provide information to young Americans and to highlight "some of our great courageous leaders" including elected officials and civil society figures.

"Stay engaged and I'll see you out there," concluded the 61-year-old Californian.

Several polls show Harris atop the list of possible 2028 candidates in the Democratic Party, ahead of California Governor Gavin Newsom and others.

The Trump camp immediately attacked Harris's social media resurrection.

"Getting Kamala out there more is really what the Dems need," White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson posted sarcastically on X.

"Oh, you guys want some more pain?" the official Trump War Room account posted on the platform after Harris's account cryptically suggested she would soon be back in action.

Harris has been traveling the United States for months to promote her book "107 Days," a reference to the length of her abbreviated 2024 presidential campaign after Joe Biden withdrew on July 21.

In it, the nation's first woman vice president settles scores with her former boss Biden and his entourage.

Harris recently announced her promotional tour would continue in 2026, which has been interpreted by several commentators as a prelude to a new bid to be president.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei issued his first statement on the war on Thursday, saying that the leverage of closing the Strait of Hormuz should be used.

Khamenei called on people in Gulf countries to “shut down” US bases, saying promised US protection is “nothing more than a lie.”

Khamenei did not appear on camera. Israeli intelligence assessed that he was likely wounded in the war’s opening salvo, which he said also killed his wife, one of his sisters, his niece and his father, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

US President Donald Trump has promised to “finish the job,” even as Iran is “virtually destroyed.” The first week of the war cost the United States $11.3 billion, according to the Pentagon.

“One point I must emphasize is that, in any case, we will obtain compensation from the enemy,” Khamenei said.

“If it refuses, we will take from its assets to the extent we deem appropriate, and if that is not possible, we will destroy its assets to the same extent.”

Russia condemned on Thursday what it called blackmail and threats by US President Donald Trump to initiate a "takeover" of Cuba, a traditional ally of Moscow.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Moscow would provide all possible political and diplomatic support to Cuba and called for a diplomatic solution to the tensions with Washington, Reuters reported.

Trump said on Monday that Cuba was in "deep trouble" and that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio was dealing with the issue, which may or may not be a "friendly takeover."

US President Donald Trump on Thursday said that stopping Iran from getting nuclear weapons was more important to him than controlling oil prices, Reuters reported.

"The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money. BUT, of far greater interest and importance to me, as President, is stopping an evil Empire, Iran, from having Nuclear Weapons, and destroying the Middle East and, indeed, the World," said Trump in a post on his Truth Social platform.
