Kamala Harris Hints at Possible 2028 Presidential Run, Says She's 'Not Done' With Politics
Former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has indicated she may not be finished with politics, suggesting the possibility of another presidential campaign in 2028.
Kamala Harris says she’s “not done” with politics, hinting at a possible 2028 presidential bid and reaffirming belief that a woman will be president.
Speaking in a new interview with the BBC, Harris expressed confidence that a woman will eventually become president of the United States—and said it could “possibly” be her. “I am not done,” she stated, adding that no final decision has been made regarding a 2028 run.

The former vice president, who served under President Joe Biden, dismissed the idea that she would face long odds if she decided to reenter the race. “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 been active in recent months promoting her book 107 Days, which was released in September. The memoir recounts her experience stepping in as the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee after Biden’s withdrawal from the race and her subsequent loss to Republican President Donald Trump.
In a separate interview with the Associated Press earlier this month, Harris reiterated that a 2028 bid remains an open possibility. She said she continues to view herself as a leader within the Democratic Party, particularly in preparing for the 2026 midterm elections and countering Trump’s political influence.
When asked directly about a potential campaign, Harris maintained that she has yet to make up her mind. “I haven’t decided. Sincerely. I have not decided. I may or I may not. I have not decided,” she told the AP.
Harris also reflected on her time in office, noting that the presidency was “a job I wanted to do.” She added that achieving it again would require entering and winning another race.
Speculation about the 2028 Democratic field has already begun, with several prominent figures positioning themselves early. Potential contenders include California Governor Gavin Newsom, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, and California Representative Ro Khanna. Reports suggest that more than 30 high-profile Democrats could join the primary race.
