Kamala Harris's Future in Politics Remains Uncertain as She Leaves Door Open for Another Run
In a wide-ranging interview with the BBC, US Vice President Kamala Harris dropped hints about her future plans and left the door open for another presidential run. When asked if she was "done" with politics after losing the 2024 election to Donald Trump, Harris replied, "I am not done," sparking speculation about whether she will attempt another bid for the White House.
The remarks come at a time when Harris has been promoting her new book, "107 Days," which details her tumultuous tenure as Democratic nominee. In the interview, Harris expressed frustration with Trump's authoritarian tendencies and said that his actions had proved her warnings about him to be correct. She also criticized businesses and universities for being too willing to bow to the president's demands.
The White House responded to Harris's claims in a statement, with spokeswoman Abigail Jackson saying that Harris "lost the election in a landslide" and that the American people don't care about her "absurd lies." However, Harris remained focused on the future and touched on the possibility of a woman being elected President one day. She said that her grandnieces would definitely see a female president in their lifetime.
While Harris didn't commit to another presidential run, she didn't rule it out either, saying only that "possibly" and that she's not focusing on that right now. However, recent polls suggest that even among registered Democrats in California, which Harris won in 2024, just under half think she should run again.
The mixed signals from Harris have left many wondering about her future plans. With the 2028 presidential election looming, it remains to be seen whether she will take another shot at the White House or continue to focus on other aspects of her career and public life.

... I don't know if she'll run again though, seems like she's trying to keep her options open while also focusing on other stuff. meh, either way, it's gonna be interesting to see what happens! 
the fact that she's already promoting her new book and talking about women in politics is cool tho 
... can't say I blame her for wanting to make a comeback though 
. The White House is just trying to spin this as her being bitter but honestly, she's got some valid points about Trump 
. And omg, the idea of a female president in her grandnieces' lifetime? That's like, so inspiring! I think she should totally run again - we need more leaders like Kamala who aren't afraid to speak truth to power 
.
. But for real tho, it's interesting she's talking about her book and all the drama she went thru as Dem nominee. I'm lowkey curious if she'll actually run again tho. Like, even if just 50% of Cali folks think she should, that's still a lot of ppl 
. And omg can u imagine if she does run? Female pres 
would be so lit 
! I mean, who wouldn't wanna try again if they think they can win? The thing is, though, has she really learned from her mistakes or is she just gonna repeat them? 
And what's up with the White House trying to roast her like that? All the drama and games... it's getting old. 
but now she's leaving that door open for another run? idk man, it feels like she's trying to prove a point or something. I mean don't get me wrong, she's still got some great ideas and stuff, but can we just focus on her new book for once? 
and besides, if she runs again, is she gonna try to take down Trump all over again? that was like the ultimate stress test for anyone, you feel? 
. like, if she was really serious about another run, wouldn't she have been more clear-cut about it? seems like she's just keeping all her options open, which is fair i guess, but it also makes me wonder if she's just trying to stay relevant or what 
. and honestly, even if she does decide not to run again, i'm sure her book "107 days" is gonna be super insightful and helpful for anyone interested in politics 
. She's not giving up on politics just yet, which means there's still a chance for change in this country! And honestly, who knows, maybe she'll come back even stronger next time around 
. It's like Kamala's book tour is just getting started and it's sparking some amazing conversations about the future of politics and leadership. Plus, she's not afraid to speak truth to power – that takes guts!
