Former Vice President Kamala Harris has made it clear that she is not finished with politics.
In an interview with the BBC, Harris said she “possibly” sees herself as president one day.
“I am not done,” she added. “I have lived my entire career as a life of service and it’s in my bones.”
Her remarks mark her strongest signal yet that she is considering another run for the White House in 2028.
Many people took to social media to weigh in on Harris’ potential run. While some people noted that Democrats could use a new face for the party, others celebrated the former vice president’s hint.
“I will vote for you 100 times if I could Kamala,” social media user Steven wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
There are some who believe Harris actually won the 2024 election. Failing that, many opine that she would have defeated President Donald Trump had she been given more of a runway than the 107 days presented after President Joe Biden’s sudden exit.
Still, most — even numerous Trump voters — believe that after more than nine months of him in office, the country and the world would have been much better off if Harris were commander in chief. And despite takes from pundits like Stephen A. Smith declaring Harris’ political career over, she said she may run again.
Harris, she has no intention of fading away quietly. Her remarks to the BBC and her public speeches reflect a politician who remains determined to fight for a nation she believes has lost its moral compass.
She has repeatedly said that while Trump’s allies rely on fear, she will continue to stand on courage.
“If I had listened to polls, I would not have run for my first office, or my second office,” she said. “And I certainly would not be sitting here.”
In the BBC interview, Harris noted that her warnings about Trump’s authoritarian behavior had proven true.
“He said he would weaponize the Department of Justice and he has done exactly that,” she said.
The 2024 Democratic presidential nominee accused Trump of using government agencies to silence critics, including comedians, after ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel following jokes about right-wing figures.
“His skin is so thin he could not endure criticism from a joke,” Harris said. “He attempted to shut down an entire media organization in the process.”
During her fiery comeback speech earlier this year at the Emerge America Gala, Harris delivered a direct challenge to Trump’s regime and a rallying cry for those who refuse to give up the fight for democracy.
“President Trump and his administration, and their allies, are counting on the notion that fear can be contagious,” she said. “But what they have overlooked is that fear is not the only thing that’s contagious. Courage is contagious.”
She closed that night with a call to action.
“This country is ours. It does not belong to whoever is in the White House,” she declared. “It belongs to you. It belongs to us. It belongs to We the People.”
