Former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has hinted she may make another bid for the White House in 2028, telling the BBC she is “not done” with politics and still sees a future in public service.
In her first UK interview, Harris told the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg that she could “possibly” be president one day. While she did not confirm a decision, her remarks mark the strongest indication yet that she plans to return to the campaign trail after losing to Donald Trump in last year’s presidential election.
“I have lived my entire career as a life of service, and it’s in my bones,” Harris said. “I am not done.”
The former vice president also expressed optimism that the United States would see a female president in the near future, saying her grandnieces would “for sure” witness it in their lifetime. When asked if it could be her, she smiled and replied, “possibly.”
Despite recent polls placing her behind other potential Democratic contenders — including Hollywood actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Harris dismissed the numbers. “If I listened to polls, I would not have run for my first office, or my second office and I certainly wouldn’t be sitting here,” she said.
Harris also took aim at Donald Trump, describing him as a “tyrant” and claiming that her warnings about his authoritarian tendencies had come true. She accused Trump of weaponizing the Department of Justice and using federal agencies to suppress critics, referencing the suspension of comedian Jimmy Kimmel after jokes about Trump supporters.
As Democrats regroup following Trump’s decisive victory, Harris’s remarks suggest she remains a central figure in the party’s future, with ambitions that could shape the 2028 race for the White House.
