Washington: Kamala Harris isn’t ruling out another run for the White House.
In an interview with the BBC posted on Sunday (AEDT), Harris said she expected a woman will be president in her nieces’ lifetime, and it could “possibly” be her.
“I am not done,” she said.

The former vice-president said she had not decided whether to mount a 2028 presidential campaign, but dismissed the suggestion that she would face long odds.
“I have lived my entire career a life of service and it’s in my bones. And there are many ways to serve,” Harris said. “I’ve never listened to polls.”
Harris has given a series of interviews following the September release of her book, 107 Days, which looks back on her experience replacing then-President Joe Biden as the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee after he dropped out of the race.
She ultimately lost to Republican President Donald Trump.

In an interview with The Associated Press last week, Harris, 60, also made clear that running again in 2028 is still on the table. She said she sees herself as a leader of the party, including in pushing back against Trump and preparing for the 2026 midterms.
Asked in an October 17 interview with AP whether she had plans for a 2028 bid, Harris said, “I haven’t decided. Sincerely. I have not decided. I may or I may not. I have not decided.”

Asked specifically whether she still wanted to do the job itself, she used the past tense, saying, “It’s a job I wanted to do.” But she noted that the only way to do it “is to run” and win.
Meanwhile, political jockeying among Democrats for the 2028 presidential contest appears to be playing out even earlier than usual.
Several potential candidates are already taking steps to get to know voters in key states, including California Governor Gavin Newsom, term-limited Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear and California Representative Ro Khanna. More than 30 high-profile Democrats could ultimately enter the primary.
