Kamala Harris reflected on her political future and the possibility of another presidential run, saying Saturday, “I am not done,” in a wide-ranging interview with CBS News’ partner, the BBC.
After losing the 2024 race to Donald Trump, Harris initially stayed out of the spotlight but has recently promoted her new memoir, “107 Days,” about her turbulent time as the Democratic nominee.
Reflections on the 2024 election
Harris said she may never know if former President Joe Biden’s late withdrawal from the race affected her chance to become president. She described warnings she made about Trump as having been proven right, calling him a “tyrant” and criticizing institutions for bowing too easily to his demands.
The White House responded through spokeswoman Abigail Jackson: “When Kamala Harris lost the election in a landslide, she should’ve taken the hint, the American people don’t care about her absurd lies.”
Future political plans
Harris emphasized her belief that a female president is inevitable. She said her grandnieces will, “in their lifetime, for sure,” see a woman in the White House. On the topic of another presidential run, she said she is not committing but didn’t rule it out, responding “possibly” when asked.
Recent polling in California shows less than a third of voters support her running again in 2028, with even fewer independents favoring her over Governor Gavin Newsom.
