Kamala Harris has told the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) that she may run for president again in 2028, signaling a potential return to national politics despite her loss in the 2024 election.
“I am not done. I have lived my entire career as a life of service, and it’s in my bones,” Harris said in an interview with “Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg,” scheduled to air this weekend.
Harris, who served one term as vice president, dismissed polling that places her behind California Governor Gavin Newsom in early surveys of potential Democratic contenders for 2028.
“If I listened to polls, I would have not run for my first office, or my second office and I certainly wouldn’t be sitting here,” she told the network.
Recent polling shows Harris trailing Newsom among Democrats and independents.
A Politico-Citizen Center-Possibility Lab survey conducted between July 31 and August 11 found Newsom leading with 25 percent support, while Harris received 19 percent.
Additional analysis released Friday by pollster Lakshya Jain indicated that Harris holds one of the highest unfavorability ratings among major Democratic figures, with 54 percent of respondents saying they view her somewhat or very unfavorably.
In her interview, Harris repeated familiar themes from her 2024 campaign, including criticism of President Donald Trump, whom she described as authoritarian.
She also accused him of targeting media figures and political opponents, offering specific claims regarding ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension earlier this year.
“You look at what has happened in terms of how he has weaponized, for example, federal agencies going around after political satirists,” Harris said. “His skin is so thin he couldn’t endure criticism from a joke, and attempted to shut down an entire media organization in the process.”
Harris claimed that President Trump followed through on earlier promises to use federal law enforcement for political purposes.
“He said he would weaponize the Department of Justice,” she said. “And he has done exactly that.”
ABC suspended Kimmel in September after the network found he misrepresented details surrounding conservative activist Charlie Kirk’s death. Harris suggested that President Trump was directly involved in the host’s removal, though no evidence has surfaced to support that claim.
Harris also criticized corporate and political leaders for continuing to align themselves with the administration.
“There are many that have capitulated since day one, who are bending the knee at the foot of a tyrant, I believe for many reasons, including they want to be next to power, because they want to perhaps have a merger approved or avoid an investigation,” she told the BBC.
The remarks mark Harris’s most direct reemergence on the international stage since leaving office. Her public appearances have increased in recent weeks, including a speech in California commemorating what she described as “democracy’s ongoing struggle against authoritarianism.”
When asked for a response to Harris’s interview, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson rejected her claims.
“When Kamala Harris lost the election in a landslide, she should’ve taken the hint the American people don’t care about her absurd lies,” Jackson told the BBC. “Or maybe she did take the hint and that’s why she’s continuing to air her grievances to foreign publications.”
Harris has not made an official announcement regarding a 2028 campaign, but her comments suggest she is keeping the possibility open.
Several Democratic strategists have indicated that both Harris and Newsom are likely to test support among donors and early state party leaders over the next year as the party begins looking toward its next presidential cycle.
