Kamala Harris Spurs Fresh Presidential Speculation: “I’m Not Done” with Public Service, Teases Potential 2028 White House Bid
- Kamala Harris hints at a possible second presidential run in 2028, but refuses to commit to a decision
- In an interview with the BBC, Harris said she’s “not done” with public service and her life’s work is “in her bones”
- The former US vice-president lost the 2024 presidential election to Donald Trump, but remains a prominent figure in US politics
Kamala Harris has set tongues wagging in the US political sphere, suggesting she may throw her hat into the ring for the 2028 presidential election. In a BBC interview, the former vice-president revealed she’s “not done” with public service, leaving the door wide open for a potential second bid for the White House.
When quizzed about whether she would run for president again, Harris remained coy, saying “possibly” and “I have not decided yet.” The hint was enough to send shockwaves through the political establishment, with many speculating about her chances in the next election.
Harris, who was in the UK promoting her memoir, 107 Days, which chronicles her failed 2024 presidential campaign, told the BBC she’s committed to continuing her life’s work of public service. “I have lived my entire career a life of service, and it’s in my bones,” she said. “There are many ways to serve.”
Despite losing the presidency to Donald Trump, Harris has remained a prominent figure in US politics, penning statements about the current government shutdown and the Gaza peace deal, as well as criticising the Trump administration. She has also been speaking at sold-out events across the US, promoting her book and refining her message.
In July, Harris ruled out running in next year’s election for California governor, saying “for now, my leadership — and public service — will not be in elected office.” However, her latest comments suggest she may be rethinking her options.
One thing is certain: Kamala Harris is not one to shy away from a challenge. As she famously said in her book, “I’m not done.” The question on everyone’s lips now is: what’s next for this determined and ambitious politician?
