‘I am not done’: Kamala Harris hints at possible 2028 US Presidential run

Former Vice-President Kamala Harris has signalled that she may consider another bid for the White House in 2028, emphasizing her belief that the United States will eventually see a woman in the Oval Office.

In an interview with the BBC, Harris stated, “I am not done,” reflecting on her life-long commitment to public service. “I have lived my entire career as a life of service and it’s in my bones,” she added, marking her clearest indication yet of a potential 2028 presidential campaign following her 2024 defeat to now-President Donald Trump.

When asked if she could be that woman president, Harris replied, “Possibly,” while noting she has not made a final decision. She expressed confidence that her grandnieces will witness a female president in their lifetime.

Harris also addressed polling data showing her behind other potential Democratic candidates, saying she pays little attention to such numbers. “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,” she said.

The former Vice-President has been giving interviews following the September release of her book, 107 Days, which recounts her experience stepping in as the 2024 Democratic Presidential nominee after Joe Biden dropped out of the race.

As Democrats begin early manoeuvring for the 2028 election, potential contenders including California Governor Gavin Newsom, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, and California Representative Ro Khanna are already reaching out to voters in key states.

The White House responded dismissively to Harris’s remarks. Spokeswoman Abigail Jackson stated, “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.”

Harris’s comments underscore her continued presence in national politics and her potential to play a significant role in shaping the Democratic Party’s strategy ahead of the 2028 presidential race.
