Kamala Harris has strongly signaled she is considering another run for the U.S. presidency, saying she is “not done with politics” and could “possibly” become the next president. In a BBC interview airing Sunday, the former vice president suggested her political career was far from over despite low polling numbers and criticism of her previous campaign. Harris, who is currently on an international book tour, said she remains committed to public service and defended her past warnings about Donald Trump’s authoritarian behavior, calling him a “tyrant” who is weaponizing power.

Harris Signals Political Revival
Speaking to the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Harris made her clearest statement yet about a possible return to presidential politics. “I am not done,” she said. “I have lived my entire career as a life of service, and it’s in my bones,” Harris said she had not made a final decision but expressed confidence that America would soon see a woman in the White House. Her remarks come as speculation grows over the Democratic Party’s future leadership ahead of the 2028 race.

Dismisses Poor Poll Numbers
Despite polling that places her behind even celebrities like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Harris brushed off the numbers. “If I listened to polls, I would not have run for my first office, or my second office – and I certainly wouldn’t be sitting here,” she said. The former vice president’s defiant tone suggests she is undeterred by her standing within the party and the broader electorate.

Criticism of Trump’s Rule
Harris renewed her warnings about Donald Trump, claiming her previous concerns about his authoritarian tendencies have now been validated. She accused Trump of being a “tyrant” with “thin skin” who “weaponises the justice system” for personal and political gain. “He said he would weaponise the Department of Justice – and he has done exactly that,” Harris said, calling his behavior a threat to democracy.

Media Suppression Allegations
In the interview, Harris cited the recent suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel by ABC after he joked about Republican reactions to the death of activist Charlie Kirk. Trump celebrated Kimmel’s suspension after a regulator he appointed threatened ABC’s license. Harris condemned the move as a dangerous precedent, saying, “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.”

Accusations Against Business Elites
Harris also lashed out at U.S. corporate leaders and institutions, who she claimed had “capitulated” to Trump’s rule. “There are many … that have capitulated since day one, who are bending the knee at the foot of a tyrant,” she said, accusing them of prioritizing power and profits over democratic integrity. “They want to be next to power, because they want to perhaps have a merger approved or avoid an investigation,” she added.

White House Strikes Back
In response to Harris’s remarks, a White House spokesperson dismissed her comments sharply. “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,” the spokesperson said. The rebuttal reflects the deep partisan divisions that continue to shape U.S. political discourse as Trump’s administration faces mounting criticism over its treatment of dissent and press freedom.

Book Tour and Reflection
Harris is currently touring globally to promote her new book, 107 Days, which recounts her short-lived 2024 presidential campaign. The book describes the challenges she faced after President Joe Biden abruptly withdrew from the race amid concerns about his cognitive health. Harris blamed her loss on the limited campaign period, though critics argue she struggled to connect with working-class voters and communicate authenticity. Analysts say her and the Democratic Party’s failure to confront Biden’s stance on Israel’s war in Gaza further alienated key voter blocs.
