title: Kamala Harris Hints At Another Presidential Run: 'I am not done'
Lead:
Former US Vice President Kamala Harris has indicated that she might make another bid for the presidency, making her strongest suggestion to date that she could possibly run for the White House again in 2028. In a recent interview with the BBC, Harris emphasized that she is not finished with politics despite her defeat in the previous election.
Background/Context:
Kamala Harris, the previous Vice President of the United States, was defeated by Donald Trump in the 2024 elections. Harris lost the electoral college to Trump 312 to 226 and went down by 2.3 million votes in the popular vote. She was catapulted into the race as the Democratic primary nominee following then-President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the election in the wake of a disastrous debate performance. Since her defeat, she has maintained a relatively low profile.
Key Developments:
In her BBC interview, Harris was clear that she doesn't rule out another presidential run. I am not done,
she said. I have lived my entire career as a life of service, and it’s in my bones.
She also dismissed suggestions that she would face long odds in a future election, despite lagging far behind in the polls.
She also expressed her belief in the advancement of women in politics, stating that she expects a woman will be US president in the coming years, and it could “possibly” be her. However, she has not yet decided whether to mount a 2028 presidential campaign.
Implications or Reactions:
The implications of Harris running for president again could be significant, and reactions to her comments have been varied. Her statement has been interpreted by some as a strong indication that she may throw her hat back in the ring for commander in chief. Others have pointed out that she did not rule out other ways of serving her country, suggesting that her future in politics could take a different path.
Conclusion:
While Harris has hinted at another run for the presidency, she has not yet made a formal decision. Despite her defeat in the previous election and current polls placing her behind other potential candidates, she remains undeterred and committed to public service. As Harris stated in her interview, I am not done. I have lived my entire career a life of service, and it’s in my bones.
As of now, all options seem to be open for the former vice president.
