Harris Says She’s a Maybe on Deciding to Run Again

Reflecting on her unsuccessful presidential campaign, Kamala Harris shared some regrets in a new interview while promoting her book, but she signaled she hasn’t ruled out a future White House run. Speaking with the BBC, the former vice president and Democratic nominee was asked whether she might run again in 2028 or beyond, and she responded, “possibly.”

“There are many ways to serve,” Harris said in the interview, which airs Sunday, emphasizing that she isn’t stepping back from public life. “I am not done. I have lived my entire career as a life of service and it’s in my bones.”

Harris also criticized President Trump, who defeated her in last year’s election. She accused him of acting like a tyrant, weaponizing federal agencies against political opponents and satirists—including Jimmy Kimmel—and said some business leaders have “bent the knee” to his administration for personal gain. White House officials countered, noting that voters have already rejected Harris, according to the BBC.

Harris brushed off discouraging poll numbers for hypothetical presidential matchups, telling Politico Europe, “If I listened to polls, I would have not run for my first office, or my second office—and I certainly wouldn’t be sitting here.”

Her new book, 107 Days, details her short-lived campaign after Joe Biden withdrew from the 2024 race. Harris suggested that launching her campaign late made winning the presidency nearly impossible, though she didn’t say whether an earlier Biden exit would have changed her chances. She expressed regret over not having enough time to connect with working-class voters or focus on issues such as housing and child care. Harris had also considered a run for governor of California but decided against it in July.
