Democratic candidate says he would not want Biden or Harris to campaign for him

Iowa Democratic gubernatorial candidate Rob Sand flatly stated that he would not want to have former President Joe Biden or former Vice President Kamala Harris campaign for him.

When Politico’s Jonathan Martin asked Sand if he would want Biden to campaign for him, the candidate said, “No. Can he even do that right now? I’m sorry.”

“No thanks,” Sand said after Martin asked about Harris. “Let’s move on. We need some new leadership.”

“You don’t think Harris should run in 2028?” Martin asked.

“Nope,” he replied.

When Al Sharpton asked Harris in April if she will run again in 2028, she said “I might” and noted that she was “thinking about it.”

Biden, who was already the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, dropped his re-election bid in 2024 in the wake of a widely-panned debate performance and endorsed Harris, who went on to lose the general election to then-former President Donald Trump.

Sand, the Iowa auditor of state, is running against Trump-backed Republican Zach Lahn in the state’s 2026 gubernatorial race.

President Donald Trump declared in a part of a Truth Social post last month, “It is my Great Honor to endorse America First Patriot, Zach Lahn, a tremendous Candidate running to be the next Governor of the Wonderful State of Iowa, a place I love and WON BIG in 2016, 2020, and 2024!”
