US Vice President Kamala Harris is hinting at another presidential bid, sparking speculation about her potential run for 2028. In an upcoming interview with BBC's Laura Kuenssberg, Harris made the most direct suggestion yet to date that she plans to throw her hat into the ring again.
When asked if she would "possibly" be the next president, Harris didn't mince words: "I am not done." The former VP emphasized that her career has been built on a life of service and that she's far from done. While polls currently place her behind several other candidates, including Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson, Harris dismissed them as unreliable.
The interview offered a rare glimpse into Harris' thoughts on the presidency, as well as her criticisms of former President Donald Trump. She described him as a "tyrant" with a thin skin who has weaponized the justice system to silence his critics. Her comments echoed some of the warnings she made during her 2024 presidential campaign about Trump's behavior.
Harris also slammed business leaders and institutions that have compromised their values in order to gain power under Trump. She argued that many are bending to the former president's demands because they want to advance their own interests or avoid scrutiny.
The Vice President's comments were met with criticism from a White House spokesperson, who questioned Harris' credibility after she lost the 2024 presidential election. However, for Harris and her supporters, the interview offered a more optimistic view of her future prospects.
With a new book tour promoting her account of the 2024 campaign underway, Harris is set to continue sharing her vision for American politics in 2028. Her decision will undoubtedly be closely watched by Democrats, Republicans, and voters around the country.
