Kamala Harris Hints at Another White House Run: ‘I Am Not Done’
Kamala Harris is making it clear she’s not stepping away from national politics just yet. In a new interview with the BBC, the former vice president and 2024 Democratic presidential nominee teased the possibility of a second White House bid, saying, “I am not done.”
“I have lived my entire career as a life of service and it’s in my bones,” Harris said. When asked if she believed the United States would elect a female president in her grand-nieces’ lifetime, she responded confidently: “In their lifetime, for sure.” Pressed further on whether it could be her, Harris simply said: “Possibly.”
Harris’ comments come nearly a year after she lost the 2024 election to President Donald Trump by over 2 million votes and a decisive 312–226 Electoral College margin. Her campaign faced heavy criticism, particularly over its inability to distance itself from Joe Biden’s unpopular presidency.
White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson responded to Harris’ remarks, saying, “When Kamala lost the election in a landslide she should’ve taken the hint – the American people don’t care about her absurd lies. Or maybe she did take the hint and that’s why she’s continuing to air her grievances to foreign publications.”
Harris is currently promoting her political memoir 107 Days, which details her rushed campaign after President Biden dropped out of the race following his disastrous debate performance against Trump in July 2024. In the book, Harris reflects on her failed campaign and criticizes Biden’s decision to seek reelection at 81 years old.
“Was it grace, or was it recklessness?” Harris writes. “In retrospect, I think it was recklessness. The stakes were simply too high. This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition.”
Despite low odds on betting markets and Democratic divisions, Harris currently leads names like Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg in early primary polling. However, the Polymarket betting platform places her chances of becoming the Democratic nominee in 2028 at just 2 percent, with Newsom and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ranked higher.
Harris also recently ruled out a run for California governor, saying after “deep reflection” that she would not enter the race for the open seat.
