WASHINGTON – Kamala Harris is keeping her political ambitions open, hinting that she might consider another bid for the presidency.
In a recent BBC interview, Harris expressed her belief that a woman will soon take the helm as the U.S. president, and she left the door open for the possibility that it could be her.
“I am not done,” Harris confidently stated.
The former vice president mentioned that she has yet to decide on whether she will run for president in 2028. However, she brushed aside any notion that her chances would be slim.
“My career has always been dedicated to service, and it runs deep within me. There are countless ways to serve,” she remarked. “I don’t put much stock in polls.”
Harris has been engaging in numerous interviews following the release of her book “107 Days” in September. The book reflects on her journey stepping in as the Democratic presidential nominee in 2024 after President Joe Biden exited the race.
She ultimately lost to Republican President Donald Trump.
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.
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 Gov. Gavin Newsom, term-limited Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and California Rep. Ro Khanna. Upwards of 30 high-profile Democrats could ultimately enter the primary.
