Former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris says her time in politics isn’t finished. In a recent conversation with the BBC’s “Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg,” Harris said she would “possibly” run for president again. 

Speaking from London, Harris said, “My grandnieces will, in their lifetime, for sure, see a woman president,” she said. When asked if that woman could be her, she smiled: “Possibly.” Harris, who ultimately became the nominee after Biden withdrew, insists she still has more to contribute. “I am not done,” she said. “Service is in my bones.”

During the interview, Harris dismissed polls that rank her as a long shot for her party’s next nomination. “If I listened to polls, I wouldn’t have run for my first office or my second,” she said. 

Harris also faulted some corporate leaders for what she described as moral cowardice. “Many have bent the knee because they want to stay close to power, to have a merger approved, or to avoid investigation,” she said. 

The interview coincided with the release of her memoir, “107 Days,” which chronicles the whirlwind campaign that began after Biden’s withdrawal and ended in disappointment. Harris described the loss as “traumatizing” but maintained that the outcome did not erase her belief in public service. 

Though she narrowly lost the popular vote by less than 2%, the electoral college margin was decisive. Even so, Harris insists the defeat has not closed the book on her ambitions.

Her political story spans decades of breaking barriers and winning difficult races. Before serving as vice president, Harris built a steady climb through public office. She was San Francisco’s district attorney from 2004 to 2011, then California’s attorney general from 2011 to 2017, and later served as a United States senator from 2017 to 2021.

In 2020, she was selected as the running mate on the Democratic ticket. That decision electrified the party and created a fundraising surge, as millions contributed to a campaign that would make Harris the first woman, the first Black American, and the first South Asian American ever to serve as vice president. In 2024, after becoming the Democratic nominee, Bloomberg reported that Harris garnered more than 2.4 million donors in her first 11 days at the top of the ticket, surpassing the total number of contributors President Biden received during his entire run.
