Harris hasn't ruled out running for president again. "It's in my blood."
Former US Vice President Kamala Harris said in an interview with the BBC on Saturday that she is considering running for president again in 2028. She described current President Donald Trump, to whom she lost the race for the White House last year, as a "tyrant."
In an interview with a British station, Harris stated that her great-granddaughters would "certainly in their lifetime" see a woman as President of the United States. When asked if she would be a candidate for the position, she replied that it was "possible." According to the BBC, this confirms that the politician is considering running for re-election.
Harris added that she hadn't made a decision on the matter yet, but emphasized that she still sees her future in politics. "I'm not done yet. (...) My entire career has been service (to the state), and it's in my blood," she said.
At the same time, she admitted that her predictions about Donald Trump's "fascist behavior and authoritarian rule have come true." "He said he was going to make the Justice Department his weapon, and that's exactly what he did," Harris noted.
The BBC interviewer criticized American business leaders for, in her opinion, giving in too easily to the American leader's demands. "There are many (...) who capitulated on the very first day (of Trump's presidency), who are bending the knee to this tyrant. I think many do this, among other things, because they want to be close to power, because they want to get approval for (financial) mergers, or avoid investigations," she said.
Kamala Harris's visit to the UK is to promote her book "107 Days." The title refers to the period she spent campaigning for the presidency after then-President Joe Biden withdrew from the race following months of speculation about his health. London was the politician's first stop outside the US to promote her book.
When asked about her loss in the White House race, instead of delving into analysis, as the BBC noted, Harris replied that her campaign had started so late that winning was practically impossible. She added that she had too little time to present her own proposals on fundamental issues like housing and child care.
In the 2024 presidential election, Republican candidate Donald Trump won the popular vote with 77.13 million votes (49.9%), 2.4 million votes more than his rival, Democrat Kamala Harris (48.3%).
