In her first interview in the UK, former US Vice President Kamala Harris has suggested that she may run again for the White House in 2028. Speaking to the BBC, she conveyed a sense of confidence, noting that she believes there will be a woman president in the future, and she is open to being that woman.
Harris's comments mark her strongest indication yet of a potential bid after she lost to Donald Trump last year. Despite facing challenges and being perceived as an outsider for the Democratic nomination, she remains optimistic about her political future. I am not done, she stated, emphasizing her lifelong commitment to public service.
During the interview, Harris didn't shy away from critiquing Trump, labeling him a tyrant and arguing that her warnings about his tactics during the campaign were vindicated. She expressed disappointment in her previous campaign's performance, attributing part of the blame to her late start and the need for a clearer economic message.
Among other issues discussed, Harris addressed the political landscape, highlighting concerns about authoritarian tendencies exhibited by Trump. She speculated that her grandnieces would definitely witness a female president in their lifetimes, potentially indicating her ambitions for a future run.
While she has not yet made a definitive decision regarding her candidacy, Harris's recent statements demonstrate her willingness to consider another opportunity for the presidency. The full interview is set to air on BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg on October 26, 2025.
