Vice President Kamala Harris tells BBC she may run for president again: ‘I am not done’
Former US Vice-President Kamala Harris has told the BBC she may run again for the White House.
Kamala Harris isn’t bowing out quietly. In a candid new interview with the BBC, the former Vice President of the United States made her strongest suggestion yet that she’s preparing for a political comeback — one that could rewrite the future of women in American leadership.
When asked if she could still see herself becoming president one day, Harris didn’t hesitate. “Possibly,” she said with a calm assurance that sounded less like speculation and more like conviction. Then came the declaration that defined the conversation:
“I am not done.”
The Return of a Relentless Leader
For a woman who’s weathered one of the most bruising elections in modern U.S. history, Harris’s words carried both weight and warning — she is still in the fight. After losing to Donald Trump in a contentious 2024 election, she’s spent the past year reflecting, recalibrating, and now, reclaiming her narrative.
In her first UK interview since that loss, Harris made clear that her commitment to public service remains unshaken. “I have lived my entire career as a life of service,” she said. “It’s in my bones.”
That statement wasn’t simply about politics — it was a reaffirmation of purpose. In a time when many questioned whether she would fade into political obscurity, Harris reminded the world that the story of women in power doesn’t end with defeat. It evolves through resilience.
Confronting the “Tyrant”
Harris didn’t hold back when addressing the man who now occupies the Oval Office. Labeling Donald Trump a “tyrant,” she said his administration had vindicated her earlier warnings about authoritarianism. “He said he would weaponize the Department of Justice — and he has done exactly that,” she charged.
Citing examples like the suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel after jokes about the right-wing’s reaction to the death of an influencer, Harris accused Trump of “weaponizing” federal power to silence critics. “His skin is so thin he couldn’t endure criticism from a joke,” she said. “And he attempted to shut down an entire media organization in the process.”
Her words painted a chilling picture of a democracy under siege — and hinted at why she believes her voice still matters on the national stage.
Facing Down Doubt
Pollsters and pundits may rank her behind names like “Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson” in the race for the 2028 Democratic ticket, but Harris brushed off such speculation with characteristic defiance. “If I listened to polls,” she said, “I would have never run for my first office, or my second — and I certainly wouldn’t be sitting here.”
It’s not bravado. It’s muscle memory. Harris has spent decades defying odds, rising from California’s attorney general to the first Black and South Asian woman elected vice president. Every time the establishment doubted her, she proved them wrong.
Lessons from a Bruising Battle
In her new memoir, 107 Days, Harris recounts the chaotic sprint to the 2024 election — the brief window she had to mount a presidential campaign after Joe Biden’s late withdrawal. Critics have since questioned whether she could have done more to reach working-class voters or sharpen her message on the economy. Harris’s answer: time.
She insists the compressed campaign calendar made victory “almost impossible.” The loss, she admits, was “traumatizing.” When the final results came in, Harris recalls saying to herself, “My God, my God, what will happen to our country?”
It’s a question still hanging over America — and one that seems to be propelling her forward.
The Future She Still Sees
Harris’s optimism remains grounded in generational vision. When asked whether she believed a woman would one day occupy the White House, her answer was immediate: “In my grandnieces’ lifetime, for sure.” Then, with a knowing smile, she added, “Possibly me.”
Those two words — possibly me — carried the quiet audacity of someone who has been tested, humbled, and yet remains deeply unbroken.
She continues to travel with a full team and speaks with the authority of someone who knows the machinery of power intimately. Officially, she’s on a book tour — but make no mistake, this feels like the soft launch of a campaign reborn.
What Kamala Harris Represents
In an era of cynicism and political fatigue, Harris’s reemergence offers a reminder that ambition in women is not arrogance — it’s endurance. She stands as a symbol of persistence in a system that too often punishes female leaders for being both strong and imperfect.
For Democrats still searching for direction after Trump’s resurgence, Harris’s defiance could become a rallying point. Her message — that women belong in the highest seat of power, not as exceptions but as the new standard — is more urgent than ever.
She may not have announced her candidacy yet. But her tone, her clarity, and her confidence say what the headlines haven’t: Kamala Harris is not done. And neither is the movement she represents.
