Washington DC, Oct 26: In a recent interview with the BBC, the former US vice president said she hasn’t decided whether she will run for president in 2028 but suggested she still has more to contribute to public life. “I am not done,” Harris said.
Harris, who lost to Republican President Donald Trump in the 2024 election after replacing Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee, dismissed the idea that she would face steep odds if she entered the race again. “I have lived my entire career a life of service and it’s in my bones,” she said. “And there are many ways to serve. I’ve never listened to polls.”
She added that she expects a woman will be elected president “in the coming years,” and said it could “possibly” be her.
The comments come amid a round of interviews promoting her new book, 107 Days, which recounts her 2024 campaign and the period after Biden withdrew from the race.
Speaking to The Associated Press earlier this month, Harris, 60, reiterated that a 2028 campaign remains under consideration. “I haven’t decided. Sincerely. I have not decided. I may or I may not,” she told AP on October 17.
When asked whether she still wanted to do the job, Harris replied, “It’s a job I wanted to do,” but added that the only way to do it “is to run” and win.
Meanwhile, the 2028 Democratic field is already beginning to take shape. Party figures such as California Governor Gavin Newsom, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear and California Representative Ro Khanna are reportedly laying early groundwork, with more than 30 potential candidates expected to explore a bid.
