Harris Campaign Accounts Relaunch on X and TikTok, Sparking 2028 Buzz

In early February 2026, former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris reignited political conversation with a move that combined digital strategy, grassroots organizing instincts, and political signaling: she relaunched her dormant 2024 campaign social media presence on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok under a new brand identity. The relaunch has not just marked a refreshed approach to youth engagement — it has also fueled widespread speculation about Harris’s potential ambitions for the 2028 presidential election.

The story is not just about new posts on social platforms. It’s about how modern politicians leverage technology, culture, and networks to remain relevant — and how a former vice president’s digital footprint can become both a political tool and a public relations signal in its own right.

A Strategic Digital Reboot: From Campaign Account to “Headquarters”

The centerpiece of this news is the transformation of Harris’s KamalaHQ social media accounts — originally active during her 2024 presidential campaign — into a revamped multi-platform digital project now called Headquarters. The decision turns a dormant campaign channel into what organizers describe as a “youth mobilization organization” and “next-generation campaigning” hub designed to engage younger voters and broader progressive audiences ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

On February 5, 2026, the rebranded accounts began posting again on X and TikTok with clean, eye-catching visuals and teaser content that prompted curiosity. The new X handle, @headquarters_67, is billed as a Gen-Z-led progressive content hub, and the reimagined Headquarters aims to share updates, ideas, and connections with grassroots political actors and digital natives alike.

The number “67” in the username — which has sparked its own chatter online — appears to be a nod to meme culture and generational slang associated with younger audiences. That kind of playful detail underscores an effort to make what could be a standard political account feel more culturally relevant.

It’s also worth noting that Harris herself won’t be writing the day-to-day content. Instead, former staff from KamalaHQ and digital strategists associated with advocacy groups like People for the American Way will manage and produce content — with Harris serving as “chair emerita,” lending credibility and visibility without editorial control.

Why the Relaunch Matters

At first glance, a social media account relaunch might seem like a routine campaign tactic. But in this case, there are several layers of significance:

Digital Persistence after Defeat
Harris’s 2024 presidential bid — in which she took over an embattled Democratic nomination late in the race and ultimately lost to President Donald Trump — ended over a year ago. The relaunch of her digital infrastructure breaks the normal pattern of campaign accounts fading into inactivity after election cycles.
