BREAKING:Kamala Harris Teases 2028 Presidential Run: ‘I Am Not Done

Former Vice President Kamala Harris has said she may run for the presidency again in 2028, saying that she is “not done.”

I am not done. I have lived my entire career as a life of service and it’s in my bones,” she told the BBC during an interview on Sunday.

Harris said that her grandnieces would see a female president in the White House “in their lifetime, for sure,” adding that it could “possibly” be her.

She said that she had not yet made a final decision on whether to run for the White House but stressed she still sees a political future for herself.

Harris also labeled President Donald Trump a “tyrant,” saying that “he said he would weaponize the Department of Justice, and he has done exactly that.

The battle to become the 2028 presidential candidate will likely set the new direction for the Democratic Party, which has struggled with some of its lowest net favorability figures since it lost the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate and the White House to Trump in last year’s election.

Polls have shown mixed results regarding Harris’ potential 2028 presidential run prospects.

The latest Noble Predictive Insights poll, conducted between October 2 and 6, showed that Harris is leading the Democratic field with support from 33 percent of Democrats, and 27 percent of independents.

But a Politico-Citrin Center-Possibility Lab survey, conducted between July 31 and August 11, put California Governor Gavin Newsom ahead with 25 percent support among Democrats and independents, compared to Harris’ 19 percent.

Analysis on Friday by pollster Lakshya Jain showed that Harris has one of the highest unfavorability ratings among senior Democrats, with 54 percent saying they have a somewhat or very unfavorable view of her.

But Harris said she is not fazed by the polls. “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 told the BBC.

It comes after Harris did not rule out running again in 2028 during an on-stage interview with journalist Kara Swisher earlier this month.

When asked whether she would run again, Harris responded: “Maybe. Maybe not.” She also described herself as “the most qualified candidate ever to run for president.”

“Some people have actually said I was the most qualified candidate ever to run for president,” she recently said, prompting applause. She added that she was “just speaking fact.”

But in her new memoir 107 Days, Harris indicated she had no immediate plans to pursue another major political office. “I’ll no longer sit in DC in the grandeur of the ceremonial office. I will be with the people, in towns and communities where I can listen to their ideas on how we rebuild trust, empathy, and a government worthy of the ideals of this country,” she wrote.

The former vice president already passed up an opportunity to run for California governor, despite polls showing she had a strong chance of success.

Elsewhere during her BBC interview, Harris also reflected on her earlier warnings about Trump.

Before the 2024 election, Harris issued several warnings about the potential dangers of a second Trump presidency. She characterized Trump as a threat to American democracy, labeling him as “unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance and out for unchecked power.” She emphasized that electing Trump again would be a “huge risk for America” and a “serious mistake,” highlighting his authoritarian tendencies and divisive rhetoric.

She said her warnings have now come to fruition. Harris highlighted the suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel by ABC, following a joke about Republican reactions to the death of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk. Harris noted that Trump celebrated Kimmel’s removal after a Trump-appointed regulator had pressured the broadcaster.

You look at what has happened in terms of how he has weaponized, for example, federal agencies going around after political satirists…His skin is so thin he couldn’t endure criticism from a joke, and attempted to shut down an entire media organization in the process,” she said.

Harris also criticized American business leaders and institutions she believes have too readily complied with Trump’s demands: “There are many that have capitulated since day one, who are bending the knee at the foot of a tyrant, I believe for many reasons, including they want to be next to power, because they want to perhaps have a merger approved or avoid an investigation,” she said.

The White House dismissed her remarks, with spokeswoman Abigail Jackson telling the BBC: “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.”

She added: “Or maybe she did take the hint and that’s why she’s continuing to air her grievances to foreign publications.”
