Kamala Harris Hints at a Political Comeback
In a candid new interview with the BBC, former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has reignited speculation about a possible 2028 presidential run, declaring, “I am not done.”
Speaking during her first UK interview since her 2024 loss to Donald Trump, Harris said she still envisions a woman in the White House — perhaps even herself.
When asked directly whether she could be that woman, Harris smiled and replied, “Possibly.”
‘Service Is in My Bones’: Harris Reflects on Her Political Journey
Harris emphasized that her passion for public service remains strong, describing politics as “a life mission.”
“I’ve lived my entire career as a life of service — it’s in my bones,” she said confidently.
Despite polls ranking her behind several potential Democratic contenders — including Hollywood actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson — Harris brushed off the numbers, saying she’s “never listened to polls” and credits her career to persistence rather than popularity.
Taking Aim at Trump’s Leadership
In one of her boldest interviews since leaving office, Harris fiercely criticized Donald Trump, calling him “a tyrant” and accusing him of weaponizing federal institutions for personal gain.
She pointed to the suspension of comedian Jimmy Kimmel after his jokes about a right-wing influencer’s death — a move Harris claims reflects Trump’s intolerance of criticism.
“His skin is so thin, he couldn’t take a joke — and used power to silence an entire media outlet,” Harris argued.
She also criticized U.S. corporations for “bending the knee” to Trump’s authority, suggesting many business leaders cave in for political or financial benefits.
Biden, Blame, and the 2024 Defeat
The Democratic Party is still dissecting Trump’s decisive victory in the 2024 election. Some blame former President Joe Biden for staying in the race too long, while others question whether Harris could have done more to rally support once he withdrew.
Harris has since released her campaign memoir, “107 Days,” recounting the short and turbulent window she had to mount a national campaign after Biden’s late exit.
She admits her campaign struggled to connect deeply with working-class voters but insists that timing, not message, doomed her run.
“If I had more time, the outcome could have been very different,” she reflected.
‘Possibly the Start of Another Campaign’
Now on an international book tour, Harris travels with the same disciplined entourage that marked her campaign days — fueling rumors that her public reemergence could double as a soft launch for 2028.
Although she stopped short of confirming her candidacy, her words — “I am not done” — have energized supporters who still view her as a historic figure and a potential future president.
