Kamala Harris Eyes 2028 Presidential Run: 'I Am Not Done'

Former US Vice-President Kamala Harris has told the BBC she may run again for the White House.

In her first UK interview, Harris said she would possibly be president one day and was confident there will be a woman in the White House in future.

Making her strongest suggestion to date of a potential presidential bid in 2028 after losing to Donald Trump last year, Harris dismissed polls that indicated she might struggle to be the Democratic nominee.

Speaking on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Harris branded Trump a tyrant, asserting that her warnings about him during the campaign have been validated.

As the Democratic party reflects on the implications of Trump's decisive win, much blame has been directed at former President Joe Biden for not stepping aside sooner.

Questions arise about how Harris could have conducted a more effective campaign and presented a clearer economic message.

In the interview, Harris suggested her grandnieces would see a female president in their lifetime, affirming, I am not done. She emphasized her lifelong commitment to public service and reiterated that she never based her decisions on polls, which she claimed would have deterred her from stepping into her previous political roles.

Harris believes her previous predictions regarding Trump's authoritarian tendencies have materialized, highlighting instances of how federal agencies have been weaponized against critics.

She also criticized American business leaders for capitulating to Trump, suggesting they're yielding to his power for various reasons.

Harris's political journey is further detailed in her recently published memoir, which covers the final days of her unfinished campaign after Biden's withdrawal.

As she contemplates her political future amidst Democratic assessments of their electoral strategy, Harris has notably shifted from tentative phrases to openly discussing her potential candidacy, despite the severity of her prior election loss.
