Former US Vice-President Kamala Harris has told the BBC she may run again for the White House.

In her first UK interview, Harris said she would “possibly” be president one day and was confident there will be a woman in the White House in future.

Making her strongest suggestion to date that she will make another presidential bid in 2028 after losing to Donald Trump last year, Harris dismissed polls that put her as an outsider to become the Democrats’ pick for the next election.

Speaking to Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Harris also turned her fire on her former rival, branding Trump a “tyrant”, and said warnings she made about him on the campaign trail had been proved right.

    What a horrible idea of sabotage. If she runs again, I believe it will be similar to when the DNC picked Hillary over Bernie for the primaries all over again.

    And the DNC will prop her up as their preferred candidate and play confused when they lose again

      I doubt the DNC wants her. The Biden folks were trying to scare people into backing him by threatening them with the possibility of a Kamala candidacy, since she was seen as such a trash candidate. Newsom is probably the preferred candidate; he makes a good show of fighting Trump, but doesn’t do any crazy leftist stuff like treating homeless or trans people as human beings. That’s what the DNC wants.

        Newsome takes aipac money. He just passed a anti semeticisn bill.

        His trump trolling is entertaining. But He should not be president.

        I mean you already worked your darndest to throw one election to the Republicans, why shouldn’t we expect you to do a second.

        The “Centrist” is the least reliable voter in Democratic tent and we lose elections thinking these toxic POS are able to be relied on

        Go full populist, go full progressive, you’ll win. Cater to the Blu MAGA contingent again, you’ll lose.

    I voted for Hillary in '16, I voted for Kamala in '24. This is not the time to run another female candidate. I’m not convinced we’ll ever have a legitimate election again, but we need someone who fits the mold better. Given the choice, I would vote for Newsom before I voted for Kamala again.

      the war’s over so the far left and right will struggle to pin that on anyone. minorities have woken up from their nightmare dream of trump and everyone sees trump for the fascist he is

      so whether its kamala, gavin or alex it should be a shoo-in for the dems this time around

      will see at the midterms i guess

        Trump is invading Venezuela so we can be at war for the midterms, so they likely won’t happen

    You’re done.

    I pinched my nose and voted for you. I pinched my nose and voted for Biden. I pinched my nose (really hard) and voted for Hillary, after I gleefully voted for Bernie in the Primaries.

    I know I’m not alone.

    I’ve had enough.

    You’re done.

    Guys, the game is over. Stop acting like there will be a normal election. It is too late to fix the system. America as you know it is over. The future is dictatorship or revolution/war

    And she’ll try to cater to the centrist voter just like last time, and lose just like last time too.

      C’mon don’t censor out him swearing! It’s integral to Vaas’ character!

    Nothing against her, and by all means, I hope she does throw her hat in the ring, along with a whole slew of other candidates, but I hope she gets Mamdani’d. I hope AOC throws her hat in and we have a real debate about the direction of the party.

    Moreover, what a time we are in where two potential candidates for president could be women? Broader forces excluded, that seems like quite a revolutionary time to be alive.

      AOC and Crockett. Though I’m pretty sure Crockett has her sights set on governor. ??

    No thanks and no thanks. The best message she had was basically “well, I’m not trump” and air-balled. With the little runway she was afforded, I cared less about her life story, breakout republican alignment and Walz and Vance getting chummy, and more about tackling the very real pressing issues every day people face. The message that she won’t do what trump is likely to do was just a low bar and already understood, or at least implied, and whatever else she had was nebulous and same-old.

    I didn’t dislike her, and she would have probably been fine, but she struck me as a B-tier candidate on the best of days.
