In a recent BBC interview, former Vice President Kamala Harris hinted at a potential presidential run in 2028, insisting that she sees her political future ahead.

Kamala Harris, in her first interview in the UK, expressed her belief that she may run for the presidency again in 2028, dismissing polls that suggest she's an outsider. She described Donald Trump as a 'tyrant' and affirmed her commitment to public service, stating 'I am not done.' Harris indicated a strong belief that a woman will hold the presidency in the future, possibly seeing herself in that role. Her comments come as the Democratic Party reflects on its recent electoral performance and her own candidacy challenges.

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 criticized Trump, calling him a tyrant, and reiterated her warnings about him during her campaign.

As the Democratic Party searches for answers about Trump's decisive victory last year, there's been speculation about whether Harris could have done better in her campaign and if she should have pressed Biden to step aside sooner.

Harris showcased her political ambitions by stating, I am not done. I have lived my entire career as a life of service and it's in my bones. She reassured, In their lifetime, for sure, her grandnieces will see a female president.

She countered criticisms regarding her candidacy, asserting that listening to polls would have deterred her from pursuing her initial campaigns. Furthermore, she conveyed her frustrations with certain business leaders capitulating to Trump's authoritarian tendencies.

Harris's candidacy is under scrutiny within the Democratic Party, with many attributing her electoral failures to her inability to connect with working Americans and articulate clear economic policies. Despite reflecting on her past experience, she is eager to position herself as a contender for the future.

The complete interview will be aired on BBC on Sunday at 09:00 GMT (05:00 EST).
