Harris, Calling Trump a ‘Tyrant,’ Hints at 2028 Race

Harris Hints at 2028 Run, Calls Trump a ‘Tyrant’
Former Vice President Kamala Harris suggested she may run for president again in 2028, calling President Donald Trump a “tyrant” in a recent BBC interview—her first in the U.K. since her 2024 defeat.

“I have lived my entire career in service, and it’s in my bones,” Harris told the outlet. She added that she is “not done” with public service and expressed confidence that a woman will occupy the White House in her grandnieces’ lifetime. When asked if that woman could be her, she said: “Possibly.”

White House Responds
The White House quickly dismissed Harris’ remarks. Spokesperson Abigail Jackson said, “When Kamala Harris lost the election in a landslide, she should’ve taken the hint. The American people don’t care about her absurd lies.”

Warnings About Trump
Harris defended her campaign warnings about Trump, calling them accurate. “He said he would weaponize the Department of Justice—and he has done exactly that,” she said. She cited the suspension of late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, following a joke about conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, as an example of Trump-appointed officials suppressing criticism. “His skin is so thin he couldn’t endure criticism and attempted to shut down an entire media organization,” she added.

She also criticized business leaders who “bent the knee” to Trump for self-interest. “Many have capitulated since day one to be close to power, secure mergers, or avoid investigations,” Harris said.

Undeterred by Polls
Despite polls placing her behind other potential 2028 candidates, including Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Harris dismissed them. “If I listened to polls, I wouldn’t have run for my first office, my second office, or be sitting here today,” she said.

Reflections on 2024 Campaign
Harris’ remarks come as Democrats assess Trump’s decisive 2024 victory and debate whether Joe Biden should have stepped aside sooner. She noted the brief campaign period following Biden’s withdrawal left her with just over three months to run. Her new memoir, “107 Days,” recounts the chaotic stretch after the withdrawal.

She acknowledged struggles connecting with working-class voters on issues like housing and childcare. “I needed more time to do that,” she said, while noting a “longstanding drift” among blue-collar voters.

When asked if she would have become president had Biden stepped aside earlier, Harris declined to criticize him. “It’s unknowable,” she said.
