After losing to Donald Trump and clashing with Joe Biden’s team, Kamala Harris hints at a 2028 presidential run — but America may have already moved on.
Former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, once the Democratic Party’s great hope and later its cautionary tale, is back in the spotlight — hinting at another presidential bid in 2028. In a BBC interview set to air Sunday, Harris said she “possibly” could run again, though she has not made a final decision.
“I’ve not decided yet what I will do in the future,” Harris told the network, carefully keeping the door open. “I have lived my entire career a life of service… it’s in my bones, and there are many ways to serve.”
At 61, Harris remains a figure of intense political curiosity — admired by loyal progressives but viewed by moderates as a symbol of the Democratic Party’s internal chaos. Her 2024 campaign, hastily assembled after Joe Biden’s withdrawal, ended in a resounding defeat to President Donald Trump, marking one of the sharpest reversals in modern American political history.
Harris’s latest remarks came shortly after the release of her memoir, in which she blamed the Biden White House for her downfall, accusing senior aides of “recklessness” for allowing Biden to run again and of “actively undermining” her during her vice presidency. Sources close to Harris say her resentment toward Biden’s inner circle runs deep — and that her political rehabilitation is already underway.
Notably, Harris has ruled out a California gubernatorial run in 2026, confirming she’s keeping her national ambitions alive. Her statement that her grandnieces will “see a female president in the Oval Office in their lifetime” was read by many as a thinly veiled promise that she intends to be that president.
But the path ahead is steep. Polls show Democrats fractured and fatigued, while Trump’s America-first coalition remains energized and dominant. Harris’s policy record — from her shifting stances on immigration to her silence on anti-Israel protests during the Gaza conflict — has alienated both moderates and pro-Israel Democrats, who see her as unreliable on key moral issues.
If Harris runs again, she will face not just Donald Trump’s proven populist juggernaut, but her own record of political missteps — and a party still struggling to define what it stands for in post-Biden America.
