Kamala Harris Says She Is “Not Done,” Would Consider Future Presidential Run

Nothing is off the table for Kamala Harris. In an interview with the BBC which will air in full on Sunday evening, the former vice president tells journalist Laura Kuenssberg that she has not ruled out the idea of running for president again in the future.

Kuenssberg asks Harris, 61, when her young great-nieces will see a female president of the United States. “In their lifetime, for sure,” replies the former senator for California. “Could it be you?” presses the journalist, to which Harris replies, “Possibly.”

Harris, who became the democratic nominee in July of 2024 when sitting president Joe Biden withdrew his candidacy and went on to lose the election to republican Donald Trump, clarifies that she has not yet decided if she will in fact run in 2028. But Kuenssberg points out that Harris wrote in her memoir 107 Days that she is “not done.”

“I am not done. I have lived my entire career a life of service, and it’s in my bones. And there are many ways to serve. I have not decided yet what I will do in the future beyond what I am doing right now,” says Harris.

“In my experience interviewing politicians, when someone says ‘I’m not done,’ it means they are thinking seriously about running. But when you look at the bookies’ odds, they put you as an outsider,” replies Kuenssberg, flagging that some polls even place Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson ahead of Harris.

”I think there are all kinds of polls that will tell you a variety of things,” replies Harris. “I’ve never listened to polls. If I listened to polls I would’ve not run for my first office or my second office and I certainly wouldn’t be sitting here in this interview.”
