Former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has hinted at another possible run for the presidency in 2028, declaring that she is “not done” with politics.
In an interview with the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, her first in the United Kingdom, Harris said she still envisions a woman leading the White House.
Asked whether she could see herself as president one day, Harris responded, “Possibly. I am not done. I have lived my entire career as a life of service, and it’s in my bones.”
Harris, who lost to Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election, reflected on her brief campaign after Joe Biden’s withdrawal, describing it as “almost impossible to win” due to the late start. She noted that while the popular vote margin was under 2%, Trump secured a comfortable victory in the Electoral College.
Recalling her reaction to the election results, she said, “My God, my God, what will happen to our country?”
Despite polls ranking her behind other potential Democratic contenders, including actor Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Harris dismissed concerns about her popularity. “If I listened to polls, I would not have run for my first office, or my second, and I certainly wouldn’t be sitting here,” she said.
The former vice president also used the interview to renew her criticism of Trump, describing him as a “tyrant” and insisting her past warnings about his leadership style had been vindicated. “He said he would weaponize the Department of Justice, and he has done exactly that,” she said.
She accused Trump of silencing critics, citing the suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel after he joked about right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. “His skin is so thin he couldn’t endure a joke and tried to shut down an entire media organization,” Harris alleged.
Harris further criticized corporate America for “bending the knee at the foot of a tyrant” to secure favors, such as merger approvals or protection from investigations.
In response, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson dismissed Harris’s remarks, saying she was ‘clinging to political relevance.’
“When Kamala Harris lost the election in a landslide, she should have taken the hint. The American people don’t care about her absurd lies,” Jackson said.
Harris, who recently released her memoir 107 Days and is currently on a global book tour, has reignited speculation that she is positioning herself for a political comeback.
“My grandnieces will, in their lifetime for sure, see a female president,” Harris said. “And possibly, it could be me.”
