By Former Vice President Kamala Harris signaled she’s not finished with politics, hinting at a possible 2028 presidential run during a candid BBC interview that revisited her narrow 2024 loss to Donald Trump.
“I am not done,” Harris told BBC presenter Laura Kuenssberg in her first sit-down on British soil. “I have lived my entire career as a life of service and it’s in my bones.” Asked directly if she could be the woman to finally occupy the Oval Office, Harris said “possibly,” adding that her grandnieces would “in their lifetime, for sure” see that milestone.
The remarks come as Democrats continue to regroup after Trump’s resounding return to power. Harris attributed her defeat to a campaign compressed into just 107 days after President Biden bowed out over health concerns, saying the short runway made victory nearly impossible. “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, brushing aside dismal 2028 polling that now places her behind figures like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

She also oddly claimed that running for president was more difficult than being president.

Harris used the interview to launch a fresh volley at Trump, calling him a “fascist” who has “weaponized the Department of Justice.” She pointed to incidents such as the suspension of comedian Jimmy Kimmel following jokes about a conservative figure, saying it proved her campaign warnings true. “His skin is so thin he couldn’t endure criticism from a joke, and attempted to shut down an entire media organisation in the process,” she said.
BBC: In the campaign, you said Donald Trump was a fascist. Do you think he's running a fascist authoritarian government?
Kamala Harris: I was asked if he was a fascist and I said yes. I look at what is happening right now. He said he would weaponize the DOJ. He's done exactly… pic.twitter.com/dMM3zSdQGs

She also accused corporate leaders of “bending the knee at the foot of a tyrant,” alleging that some have capitulated “because they want to perhaps have a merger approved or avoid an investigation.”
The White House dismissed Harris’s comments through spokeswoman Abigail Jackson, who fired back: “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. Or maybe she did take the hint, and that’s why she’s airing her grievances to foreign publications.”
Harris’s BBC appearance coincides with the launch of her new memoir, 107 Days, chronicling the breakneck campaign that ended in defeat but, she insists, not disillusionment. In the full broadcast set to air Sunday, Harris reflected on the aftermath of the election. “My god, my god, what will happen to our country?” she recalled thinking on election night, while emphasizing that the popular vote margin was under 2% despite Trump’s commanding Electoral College victory.
Looking ahead, Harris said she regrets not having more time to focus on economic issues like housing and childcare—key concerns she believes Democrats must reclaim to win back working-class voters. Her book tour, complete with security detail and international press stops, is already fueling speculation that she’s laying groundwork for another White House bid.
For now, Harris insists she’s still reflecting, but her words suggest reflection may be the prelude to a campaign. “I am not done,” she repeated, a refrain that sounded less like nostalgia than a promise.
Recent polling showed the former vice president in a dominant position for 2028, at least within her own party. According to The Center Square Voters’ Voice Poll (Oct. 2–6, 2025), Harris leads all Democratic contenders with 33% support among Democrats and 27% among Independents. She outpaces California Gov. Gavin Newsom—her closest rival—by 20 points among Democrats (33% to 13%) and 24 points among Independents (27% to 3%)
