Kamala Harris Hints at 2028 Presidential Run in BBC Interview
LOS ANGELES, California — Former Vice President Kamala Harris hinted she could seek the presidency again in 2028 during a recent interview with the BBC. In her conversation with Laura Kuenssberg, which aired Sunday, Harris expressed confidence that America would see a woman in the Oval Office in the future.
“I am not done,” she said, adding that her career has been defined by service. “It’s in my bones,” said Harris. This marks her strongest suggestion yet of a possible run after losing to Donald Trump in 2024.
When asked if she could be that woman president, Harris replied, “Possibly,” confirming she is weighing her political future. Despite polls showing her trailing other candidates for the Democratic nomination, she dismissed their significance. “If I listened to polls I would have not run for my first office, or my second office — and I certainly wouldn’t be sitting here,” she remarked.
Harris also addressed her past warnings regarding Trump, asserting that they have come true. “He said he would weaponize the Department of Justice — and he has done exactly that,” she stated. This included her criticism of political consequences following the suspension of comedian Jimmy Kimmel after a controversial joke.
Additionally, she called out American business leaders for bending to Trump’s influence. “Many have capitulated… bending the knee at the foot of a tyrant,” Harris said, suggesting their motivations include a desire for proximity to power.
The White House responded dismissively to Harris’s comments. Spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said, “When Kamala Harris lost the election in a landslide, she should’ve taken the hint — the American people don’t care about her absurd lies.”
Harris’s recent memoir, “107 Days,” chronicles her rapid campaign leading up to the 2024 election. She reflects critically on Biden’s decision to run again, describing it as possibly reckless.
As she contemplates her future, Harris’s remarks could indicate an ambition to re-enter the political arena, underscoring her belief that her time in politics is not over.
