Kamala Harris isn’t ruling another presidential run.
Speaking with BBC journalist Laura Kuenssberg over the Oct. 24 weekend, Harris, 61, said that the United States will one day elect a woman to the nation’s highest office and that it might be her.
“I am confident there will be a woman in the White House,” she said, adding that her grandnieces would “in their lifetime, for sure” see it happen.
When asked directly if that woman could be her, Harris replied, “Possibly.”
The former vice president, who lost the 2024 presidential election to Donald Trump, said she has not made a decision about another campaign but emphasized her lifelong dedication to public service.
“I am not done,” she said. “I have lived my entire career as a life of service, and it’s in my bones.”
Harris dismissed
polls suggesting she has slim chances of reclaiming political momentum. “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 said.During the wide-ranging conversation, Harris also took aim at Trump, accusing him of fulfilling warnings that he would use federal power for political retribution. “He said he would weaponize the Department of Justice, and he has done exactly that,” Harris said.
She pointed to recent controversies, including the suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel after he joked about MAGA supporters, as an example of what she called an authoritarian pattern.
“You look at what has happened in terms of how he has weaponized, for example, federal agencies going after political satirists,” she said, adding that Trump’s reaction to criticism showed “his skin is so thin he couldn’t endure a joke.”
A White House spokesperson later dismissed Harris’s remarks as “absurd lies.”
