I’m not done: Kamala Harris leaves the door open for the 2028 presidential candidacy
WASHINGTON (AP) — Kamala Harris does not rule out another run for the White House.
In an interview with the BBC published on Saturday, Harris said she hopes a woman will be president in the next few years, and “possibly” it could be her.
“I’m not done,” he said.
The former vice president said she has not decided whether she will mount a presidential campaign in 2028. But she dismissed the suggestion that she would face major difficulties.
“I have lived a life of service my entire career and it is in my bones. And there are many ways to serve,” he said. “I’ve never heard the polls.”
He recently gave a series of interviews following the September release of his book, “107 Days.” He looks back on his experience replacing then-President Joe Biden as the 2024 Democratic presidential candidate after Biden dropped out of the race.
He ultimately lost to Republican President Donald Trump.

In an interview with The News last week, Harris, 60, also made clear that running again in 2028 is still on the table. She said she sees herself as a leader of the party, including in the fight against Trump and preparing for the 2026 midterm elections.
Asked in an interview with the AP on Oct. 17 if she had plans for a 2028 run, Harris said, “I haven’t decided. Honestly. I haven’t decided. I may or I may not. I haven’t decided.”

When asked specifically if he still wanted to do the job itself, he used the past tense and said, “It’s a job I wanted to do.” But he noted that the only way to do it “is to run” and win.
Meanwhile, political maneuvering among Democrats for the 2028 presidential race appears to be unfolding even earlier than usual.
Several potential candidates are already taking steps to meet voters in key states, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom, term-limited Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and California Rep. Ro Khanna. Ultimately, more than 30 high-profile Democrats could enter the primary.
