Former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris said she may run again for the presidency in 2028, telling the BBC she is “not done” with politics after her defeat to Donald Trump in last year’s election.
In her first UK interview, to air Sunday, Harris said she believes a woman will serve as U.S. president “in her grandnieces’ lifetime, for sure,” and when asked if it could be her, she replied, “Possibly.”
Harris said her career has been devoted to public service, adding, “It’s in my bones.”
Harris, who recently released her memoir 107 Days about her 2024 campaign, dismissed polls ranking her behind other Democratic contenders, including actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, saying she never relied on polling.
She also called Trump a “tyrant” and said her warnings during the campaign had come true, accusing him of weaponizing the Department of Justice and using federal agencies against critics.
Harris cited the suspension of comedian Jimmy Kimmel after a joke about right-wing figures as an example of Trump’s influence over the media.
“There are many who have capitulated since day one,” Harris said, accusing business leaders of “bending the knee at the foot of a tyrant” for political or financial gain.
