Former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has once again sparked speculation about a possible return to the presidential race. In a recent interview with the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg, Harris said she could “possibly” become president one day, expressing confidence that the United States will see a female president in the near future.
When asked whether she plans to run again in 2028, Harris didn’t rule it out. “I’m not done,” she said. “I’ve lived my entire life in service — it’s in my bones.” She added that while she hasn’t made a final decision, she still sees herself as deeply involved in politics and public life.
During the interview, Harris didn’t hold back in her criticism of Donald Trump, calling him a “tyrant” with “thin skin,” accusing him of weaponizing the justice system and running what she described as an authoritarian-style government. “He said he would weaponize the Department of Justice — and he’s done exactly that,” Harris said. “His skin is so thin he couldn’t handle criticism from a joke and even tried to shut down an entire media network.”
Her comments came as she condemned the suspension of comedian Jimmy Kimmel by ABC following a joke about conservative reactions to the death of right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk. The decision reportedly followed pressure from a Trump-appointed media regulator.
This marks Harris’s clearest indication yet that she’s open to another White House bid in 2028, despite current polling numbers showing her trailing behind leading Republican figures. “If I listened to polls, I wouldn’t have run for my first office or my second — and I certainly wouldn’t be sitting here,” she added confidently.
The White House quickly responded to Harris’s remarks. Spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said: “When Kamala Harris lost the election in a landslide, she should have taken the hint. The American people don’t care about her absurd lies — or maybe that’s why she’s venting to foreign media.”
Currently, the 61-year-old Harris is on an international book tour promoting her memoir 107 Days, which details her 2024 presidential campaign after President Biden stepped down amid growing concerns about his cognitive health.
In the book, Harris reflects on her time in Washington and her plans for the future. “I’ll no longer sit in DC surrounded by ceremony,” she writes. “I’ll be with the people — in towns and communities — listening to their ideas on how we can rebuild trust, empathy, and a government that truly serves its citizens.”
