Former Vice President Kamala Harris isn’t ruling out another run for the White House. In her first UK interview, Harris told the BBC she would “possibly” seek the presidency again — her strongest signal yet that she’s weighing a 2028 campaign. Sitting for the Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg program, Harris was direct about her ambitions and defiant about her political future. “I am not done,” she said. “I have lived my entire career as a life of service and it’s in my bones.”

Harris Isn’t Paying Attention To Polls

Harris, who lost to Donald Trump last year, brushed off polls that currently list her as a longshot for the Democratic nomination — even trailing celebrity names like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. “If I listened to polls,” she said, “I would have not run for my first office, or my second office — and I certainly wouldn’t be sitting here.” The interview offered a glimpse of a politician trying to reclaim narrative control after a devastating defeat that left the Democratic Party fractured and demoralized. Her tone was confident, occasionally combative, and at times reflective — a contrast to the more cautious approach she took in the months after the election.

Harris Went After Trump

“I’ve said before, and I’ll say it again: Donald Trump is a tyrant,” Harris told the BBC. “He said he would weaponize the Department of Justice — and he has done exactly that.” She cited the suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel by ABC, which followed a Trump-appointed regulator’s threats to the network after Kimmel mocked the president’s allies. “His skin is so thin he couldn’t endure criticism from a joke,” Harris said, “and attempted to shut down an entire media organization in the process.”

Harris Is On A Book Tour, But It Feels Like The Start Of Something Else

Her comments underscored a broader argument she’s been making quietly since the election — that Trump’s second term represents something fundamentally different from his first. “He is not governing,” she said. “He is ruling.” For now, Harris is officially on a book tour to promote 107 Days, her account of the truncated 2024 campaign that began after President Biden bowed out amid questions about his health. The book’s title refers to the number of days she had to mount a national campaign before Election Day — a period she describes as both “traumatic” and “transformative.”

She’s Not Flipping On Biden

When pressed on whether Biden’s late exit cost Democrats the presidency, Harris deflected but didn’t disagree. “It’s unknowable,” she said. “But it’s also true that we started too late. The challenge was monumental.” Democrats, still reeling from Trump’s decisive electoral college victory, are wrestling with what comes next — and whether Harris can lead the party’s next chapter. Critics within her own ranks have questioned her message, her organization, and her ability to connect on economic issues. But Harris remains undeterred. “I’m confident there will be a woman president in my grandnieces’ lifetime,” she said. When asked if that woman could be her, she smiled and replied, “Possibly.”

The White House Wants Harris To Go Away

The White House responded sharply to her remarks, with spokesperson Abigail Jackson telling reporters: “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.” Still, Harris’s remarks signal she isn’t retreating — she’s regrouping. “The possibility of power,” she said, “is something I’m not willing to leave behind.”
