Kamala Harris hints she may run again for president: ‘I am not done’
Former U.S. vice president Kamala Harris indicated she may run again for president while expressing confidence that a woman will one day occupy the White House.
In an interview with the BBC set to air Sunday, Harris said she would "possibly" be president one day, marking her clearest indication yet that she could launch another presidential campaign in 2028, following her loss against Donald Trump last year.
However, Harris added that she has not made a final decision but still believes she has a future in politics.
"I am not done," the former vice president told the BBC. "I have lived my entire career as a life of service and it's in my bones."
When asked about polls placing her behind others for the Democratic ticket, Harris said she pays little attention to these 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.
Harris also sharply criticized Trump, calling him a "tyrant" and stating that the warnings she made about him while on the campaign trail were proven right.
"He said he would weaponize the Department of Justice-and he has done exactly that," she asserted.
The former vice president also went on to cite the suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel following the host's comments about the killing of Charlie Kirk. Trump applauded ABC for suspending the show at the time.
"You look at what has happened in terms of how he has weaponized, for example, federal agencies going around after political satirists," Harris said. "His skin is so thin he couldn't endure criticism from a joke and attempted to shut down an entire media organization in the process."
The former vice president also criticized American business leaders and institutions who she believes bowed to the president's demands too easily.
"There are many, that have capitulated since day one, who are bending the knee at the foot of a tyrant, I believe for many reasons, including they want to be next to power, because they want to perhaps have a merger approved or avoid an investigation," she told the BBC.
