US Vice President Kamala Harris has hinted at a possible comeback in the 2028 presidential election, stating “I am not done” in a recent BBC interview. Harris emphasized her lifelong commitment to public service, saying it’s “in my bones.” When asked if she could envision herself as president, Harris smiled and replied, “Possibly.” This statement has sparked speculation about her potential candidacy for the 2028 presidential election.
The White House responded critically to Harris’s comments, with spokesperson Abigail Jackson saying Harris “should’ve taken the hint” after losing the 2024 election to Donald Trump. Jackson added that Harris’s comments are “absurd lies” and suggested she’s airing her grievances to foreign publications.
Harris dismissed polls showing she’s an underdog for the Democratic ticket, where she currently trails behind Hollywood star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. She stated that she has never allowed polling to dictate her political path, saying, “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.”
The former Vice President has been promoting her book, “107 Days,” which chronicles her short-lived 2024 presidential campaign. Harris’s potential comeback bid is generating both excitement and debate among Democrats, with some seeing her as a strong figure who could rally the party’s progressive base.
Harris also took aim at business leaders who have capitulated to Trump’s demands, saying, “There are many…that have capitulated since day one, who are bending the knee at the foot of a tyrant.” She criticized Trump’s leadership, calling him a “tyrant” and accusing him of weaponizing the Department of Justice. Harris cited the example of the temporary suspension of comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s show due to comments he made about the Republicans’ reaction to Charlie Kirk’s killing.
The Democratic Party is still dissecting Trump’s decisive victory in the 2024 election, with some blaming former President Joe Biden for staying in the race too long, while others question whether Harris could have done more to rally support once he withdrew. Harris’s comments have reignited speculation about her political future, and her potential candidacy for the 2028 presidential election.
