During a Thursday appearance on Sean Hannity, Katie Miller, former White House staffer and wife of Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, ignited a firestorm by calling for a 2028 “rematch” between President Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.
While Miller intended to mock the former Vice President’s recent social media rebrand, her comments quickly pivoted to a constitutional controversy. Critics pointed out that a 2028 run for Trump would violate the 22nd Amendment, which limits a president to two terms.
The “Rematch” Proposal
Miller’s comments were framed as a dare to Harris following her election defeat in 2024.
- The Quote: “I’m here to beg Kamala Harris to please run again in 2028… There’s nothing I’d love to see more than the President Trump-Kamala Harris rematch of 2028.”
- The Legal Hurdle: Under the U.S. Constitution, a president is ineligible for a third term. Miller’s suggestion that Trump could run again in 2028 has been interpreted by critics as a casual disregard for constitutional law.
- Hannity’s Reaction: Host Sean Hannity did not push back on the legal impossibility of the request, instead jokingly offering to call Harris to help “convince her” to run.
Harris Rebrands as “Headquarters”
The segment was prompted by Harris’s relaunch of her campaign social media accounts (formerly @KamalaHQ) into a Gen-Z-focused progressive hub called “Headquarters.”
- The Vision: Harris described the new platform as a space to get the “latest of what’s going on” and to engage with “courageous leaders.”
- The “67” Controversy: The account briefly used the handle @headquarters_67, a nod to a viral Gen Alpha slang term. However, after being mocked by conservatives like Miller—who called it “meaningless”—the handle was changed to @headquarters68_.
- The Musk Factor: The account’s bio currently reads, “Elon wouldn’t give us @headquarters,” suggesting a dispute with X owner Elon Musk over the desired username.
Cultural Clashes: SNL and ICE
Miller also used her appearance to double down on her recent criticisms of Saturday Night Live, particularly a sketch featuring Pete Davidson.
| Subject | Katie Miller’s Response |
| Pete Davidson Sketch | Miller was “outraged” by a sketch depicting ICE officers as aggressive and untrained. |
| ICE Reputation | She defended the agency on X, stating, “ICE are heroes,” and accused SNL of being the “voice of woke corporate leftists.” |
| Comedy Quality | She told Hannity that Harris’s launch video was “funnier than any SNL sketch” she had seen in a decade. |
The backlash to Miller’s comments highlights the growing tension between the administration’s supporters and those concerned about the preservation of constitutional norms as the 2028 cycle begins to loom in the distance.
