In a candid exchange that has ignited speculation across political circles, former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris signaled she may not be finished with her White House ambitions. During her first interview in the United Kingdom—conducted with BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg—the Democrat expressed openness to another run for the presidency, declaring, “I am not done.” The full sit-down, part of Harris’s promotional tour for her new memoir 107 Days, is set to air on BBC One this Sunday at 9:00 a.m. GMT.
Harris, who stepped into the 2024 presidential race after President Joe Biden’s withdrawal and ultimately lost to Donald Trump in a decisive defeat, reflected on her political journey with characteristic resolve. When asked about the prospect of a female commander-in-chief, she assured her grandnieces would witness one “in their lifetime, for sure.” Pressed on whether that leader could be her, Harris replied simply: “Possibly.” She dismissed current betting odds and polls—where she trails even celebrities like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for 2028 favorability—insisting, “If I listened to polls, I would not have run for my first office or my second office, and I certainly wouldn’t be sitting here in this interview.”
The remarks come amid a broader discussion of her abbreviated 107-day campaign, which she attributes in part to its compressed timeline rather than strategic missteps. Harris reiterated warnings from the trail about Trump’s authoritarian tendencies, claiming recent events have validated her concerns. She also leveled sharp criticism at U.S. business leaders and institutions, accusing them of “bending the knee at the foot of a tyrant” to curry favor or evade scrutiny. “There are many that have capitulated since day one,” she said, pointing to motives like merger approvals or dodged investigations.
The White House, now under Trump’s administration, wasted little time in responding. Spokesperson Abigail Jackson quipped, “When Kamala Harris lost the election in a landslide, she should’ve taken the hint—the American people don’t care about her absurd lies.”
Harris’s interview arrives as Democrats grapple with post-election soul-searching. Critics have questioned her messaging on economic woes and authenticity with working-class voters, issues she touched on but did not dwell upon in the BBC preview. Yet her unyielding tone suggests a fighter undeterred by defeat. At 61, with a career spanning prosecutor to senator to vice president, Harris positions her drive as innate: “I have lived my entire career as a life of service and it’s in my bones.”
As the 2028 cycle looms, this teaser from London could mark the opening salvo in Harris’s next chapter—or a poignant coda to a trailblazing but unfulfilled quest. For now, one thing is clear: the former VP isn’t signing off just yet.
