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.

    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.

    So she has not learned that some key issues she stupidly defended made her lose against a demented idiot?

    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.

        We hate Trump, but she lost to him once already and she should not run again.

          Even after a year of trump and you guys still think Kamala is worse. You deserve everything you get.

          Im just an indigenous guy enjoying the self destruction of your racist, terrorist nation, sorry if I’m excited about it 🤷‍♂️ You guys don’t get to play the victim of your own stupidity

            We know Kamala is better.

            We also know we can do better than Kamala, and that’s Kamala can’t win. Kamala spent her entire campaign courting right wing voters. She’s more conservative than Bush Sr was.

    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’m skeptical that Harris is the front runner the DNC pushes, they might but I believe we could see a split over Harris, Walz, or Newsome as the front runner in 2028.

      Someone like AOC could throw their hat in the ring, which could work but they would have to do hardball quite a lot to get any progressive legislation passed federally. The courts would be trying to check the EO power and be much more limiting than they are currently.

        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.

          Actually I want a Mamdani-type candidate to run for president someone who isn’t afraid to really lie and make promises they know they’ll never be able to keep so they can get votes.

      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
