Failed Democrat candidate Kamala Harris hinted she’s planning another run for the White House, less than a year after losing badly to President Donald Trump.
In an interview with the BBC, Harris said she’s not finished with politics. “I am not done,” she said, calling her career “a life of service” that’s “in my bones.”
Harris also said she believes her grand-nieces will see the country elect its first female president “in their lifetime, for sure.”
When pressed if she was talking about herself, Harris answered, “possibly.”
Her comments come just months after Trump defeated her in a landslide, winning by over two million votes and taking the Electoral College 312 to 226.
White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson responded sharply to Harris’s remarks. “When Kamala lost the election in a landslide she should’ve taken the hint – the American people don’t care about her absurd lies,” Jackson said. “Or maybe she did take the hint and that’s why she’s continuing to air her grievances to foreign publications.”
Harris has spent recent months promoting her new memoir, 107 Days, which covers her short-lived 2024 presidential campaign following Joe Biden’s sudden exit from the race.
She told the BBC she pays no attention to political odds or polls that show her with little support. “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,” Harris said.
Despite her poor showing in 2024, Harris currently leads Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg in some Democratic primary surveys, per the New York Post.
Still, the Polymarket betting site gives her just a two percent chance of winning her party’s 2028 nomination. The same betting trackers list Newsom and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as the early favorites.
In her book, Harris criticized Biden’s decision to run again at age 81, calling it reckless. She referenced the White House mantra that it was “Joe and Jill’s decision” whether Biden would seek another term.
“Was it grace, or was it recklessness? In retrospect, I think it was recklessness,” she wrote. “The stakes were simply too high. This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision.”
Harris also ruled out running for California governor earlier this year, saying in July she made that decision after “deep reflection.”
During her BBC interview, Harris again attacked Trump, calling him a “tyrant.”
Her representatives did not respond to The Post’s requests for comment.
Harris’s reappearance on the political scene has sparked renewed backlash from critics who argue she’s ignoring the message voters sent in 2024. Despite her loss and low polling, she appears determined to stay in the spotlight and position herself for another presidential run.
