Kamala Harris is not ruling out another run for the White House.
In an interview with the BBC, Harris said she expects a woman will be president of the United States in the coming years, and it could “possibly” be her.
“I am not done,” she said.
The former US vice-president, who ran unsuccessfully as the Democratic presidential nominee last year, said she has not yet determined whether she will mount a 2028 presidential campaign.
“I’ve not decided yet what I will do in the future, beyond what I am doing right now,” Harris said.
But she dismissed the suggestion that she would face long odds if she entered the race again.
“Throughout my career, I’ve been driven by a commitment to service; it’s woven into the fabric of who I am. There are countless ways to contribute, and I’ve never been one to chase after poll numbers,” she expressed.
In an interview with the Associated Press last week, Harris, 60, also made clear that running again in 2028 is still on the table.
She said she sees herself as a leader of the party, including in pushing back against Trump and preparing for the 2026 midterms.
Harris has recently given a series of interviews following the release of her book 107 Days last month.
The book looks back on her experience replacing then-president Joe Biden as the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee after he dropped out of the race.
In the memoir, Harris argues it was “recklessness” to let Biden run for a second term as president.
Harris stepped into the spotlight following a turbulent televised debate between Biden and Trump, which sparked concerns about Biden’s age and mental sharpness.
In her memoir, Kamala Harris described it as “irresponsible” for herself and other leading Democrats to endorse Joe Biden’s candidacy for the 2024 presidential election.
Harris also accused his White House team of failing to support her while she was his deputy, and at times of actively hindering her.
Meanwhile, political jockeying among Democrats for the 2028 presidential contest appears to be playing out even earlier than usual.
Several potential candidates are already taking steps to get to know voters in key states, including California governor Gavin Newsom, term-limited Kentucky governor Andy Beshear and California representative Ro Khanna.
Upwards of 30 high-profile Democrats could ultimately enter the primary.
