Former VP Kamala Harris Hints 2028 Presidential Run, Labels Trump 'Tyrant'

Kamala Harris, the former Vice President and 2024 Democratic presidential nominee, has hinted at possibly running for president again in 2028, expressing that she is "not done" with public service and politics. Speaking to the BBC, Harris emphasized her lifelong commitment to service and confidence that the U.S. will see a female president during her grandnieces' lifetimes, possibly herself. She criticized President Donald Trump, calling him a "tyrant" who weaponizes the Department of Justice and suppresses criticism, citing examples like the suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel after a political joke. Harris dismissed polls suggesting she is an outsider in the 2028 race, asserting that if she had heeded polls before, she wouldn't have succeeded in prior offices. In response, a White House spokesperson accused her of airing "absurd lies" and ignoring the electoral defeat. Harris also acknowledged challenges in her 2024 campaign, including entering the race late and struggling to connect on economic issues, while continuing to see herself as a leader within the Democratic Party.
