So Kamala Harris is teasing a comeback, and she did it with the kind of modesty and restraint you’d expect from someone who just lost a national election, blamed the other side for authoritarianism, and then told the BBC she might run again in 2028. In her first interview with the outlet since the 2024 election, Harris said, “I have lived my entire career as a life of service, and it’s in my bones,” and when asked if a future female president could be her, she replied, “Possibly.”
Yes, possibly. That’s the campaign-launch equivalent of a wink. The BBC interviewer even pointed out that some bookmakers give Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson better odds than Harris, and she shrugged off polls, saying she has never put much stock in them. To be fair, early presidential conjecture three years out is about as reliable as a weather forecast for next summer; polling averages bounce around. Still, the Race to the White House average puts Harris in the lead at 24.6 percent, with California Governor Gavin Newsom close behind at 21 percent, and Pete Buttigieg trailing in third; Harris even peaked at 34 percent back in April, before sliding down.
On the subject of President Trump, Harris didn’t hold back. She accused him of acting like a “tyrant” and of “weaponizing” the Justice Department after the Biden-Harris administration brought criminal charges against him and dozens of his allies. “He said he would weaponize the Department of Justice, and he has done exactly that,” she said. She also used the brief suspension of ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel as an example, arguing it illustrated what she sees as authoritarian impulses from the current administration.
Cue the reaction from the White House. Spokesperson Abigail Jackson fired back, “When Kamala Harris lost the election in a landslide, she should’ve taken the hint,” and added that “The American people don’t care about her absurd lies.” Harsh words, and they show the expected posture from an administration defending itself from claims of political persecution.
From a conservative perspective, Harris’s BBC interview reads like a mix of grievance and ambition. Accusing the other side of tyranny while floating a comeback bid is a risky sales pitch; it invites voters to ask whether she’s focused on governing or on revenge. Critics will point to bookies and those shaky early polls and say her prospects are more fantasy than reality. Supporters will argue her name recognition and current polling edge in the early aggregate matter.
Either way, Harris has made it clear she’s not ruling out another run; President Trump’s camp has already answered, and the 2028 horse race is quietly warming up. Expect the barbs to keep coming, and for both camps to treat every interview as a campaign commercial in waiting.
Kammie knows she can win if she can start with $20 billion dollars. The billion in 224 just wasn’t enough, ya know? Recently, she used the word “conflate” in a coherent sentence. See? $19 billion more and she might learn two more new words.
