Former US Vice-President Kamala Harris has told the BBC she may run again for the White House.
In her first UK interview, Harris said she would “possibly” be president one day and was confident there will be a woman in the White House in future.
Making her strongest suggestion to date that she will make another presidential bid in 2028 after losing to Donald Trump last year, Harris dismissed polls that put her as an outsider to become the Democrats’ pick for the next election.
Speaking to Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Harris also turned her fire on her former rival, branding Trump a “tyrant”, and said warnings she made about him on the campaign trail had been proved right.
Please be done. If you wanted to be a leader, now is the time. Not three years from now.
I mean the interview may be her way of announcing that.
She should have taken some time to recalibrate and push forward and I will give her a shot to differentiate herself from Biden in a way she didn’t before. I don’t think she’s the right way AT ALL for what we truly need but I’m NOT going to be so close sided in my beliefs that they can’t be swayed. At that point, we’d just be the other side of the shitty coin the current admin+supporters are on.
I’m willing to let her change my mind about her. For sure. But … It seems that what the left wants is more like Bernie and more like AOC. Active participants even if they aren’t in power. Advocates for the right thing and holding truth to power.
But the Democrats don’t want them.
Completely agreed and it’s what I want too.
Please don’t
So she has not learned that some key issues she stupidly defended made her lose against a demented idiot?
And the DNC will prop her up as their preferred candidate and play confused when they lose again
I doubt the DNC wants her. The Biden folks were trying to scare people into backing him by threatening them with the possibility of a Kamala candidacy, since she was seen as such a trash candidate. Newsom is probably the preferred candidate; he makes a good show of fighting Trump, but doesn’t do any crazy leftist stuff like treating homeless or trans people as human beings. That’s what the DNC wants.
Newsome takes aipac money. He just passed a anti semeticisn bill.
His trump trolling is entertaining. But He should not be president.

Or people can actually get to work building a vanguard party.

Are you?

I feel temporarily stymied at building that party, even beginning to build it in my area; but I haven’t lost hope for it and am actively exploring avenues in that general direction.
I mean you already worked your darndest to throw one election to the Republicans, why shouldn’t we expect you to do a second.
The “Centrist” is the least reliable voter in Democratic tent and we lose elections thinking these toxic POS are able to be relied on
Go full populist, go full progressive, you’ll win. Cater to the Blu MAGA contingent again, you’ll lose.
Actually I want a Mamdani-type candidate to run for president someone who isn’t afraid to really lie and make promises they know they’ll never be able to keep so they can get votes.
Not one should be concerned with what the spoiler class of the DNC wants
I’m skeptical that Harris is the front runner the DNC pushes, they might but I believe we could see a split over Harris, Walz, or Newsome as the front runner in 2028.
Someone like AOC could throw their hat in the ring, which could work but they would have to do hardball quite a lot to get any progressive legislation passed federally. The courts would be trying to check the EO power and be much more limiting than they are currently.
No, they’ll probably push Hillary again.
I hate how accurate that sounds. I really hope not, otherwise the Democratic Party really will have learned nothing in over a decade.
Nothing against her, and by all means, I hope she does throw her hat in the ring, along with a whole slew of other candidates, but I hope she gets Mamdani’d. I hope AOC throws her hat in and we have a real debate about the direction of the party.
Moreover, what a time we are in where two potential candidates for president could be women? Broader forces excluded, that seems like quite a revolutionary time to be alive.
AOC and Crockett. Though I’m pretty sure Crockett has her sights set on governor. ??
Yep. I think you’re right. The next presidential election will certainly be revolutionary.
With First-past-the-post voting? LoL

Mamdani is the action verb as he’s the one outfoxing Cuomo.
Oh, she’s done.
Fuck off Kamala.
No thanks and no thanks. The best message she had was basically “well, I’m not trump” and air-balled. With the little runway she was afforded, I cared less about her life story, breakout republican alignment and Walz and Vance getting chummy, and more about tackling the very real pressing issues every day people face. The message that she won’t do what trump is likely to do was just a low bar and already understood, or at least implied, and whatever else she had was nebulous and same-old.
I didn’t dislike her, and she would have probably been fine, but she struck me as a B-tier candidate on the best of days.
For love of democracy, DONT!
Is this even a useful conversation at this time or just a willing distraction?
I think it might be a pretty short conversation if she has to run in a real primary.
Time for more parties
Do you have a license to be so incredibly based?
Do you have a license to be an “edgy” troll? Lol
Just no. thank you!
I toldja she’s taking up Hillary’s can’t put a sock in it for 40 years mantle.
Don’t.
Love you, but fuck off, ma’am. Not needed, and it’s only for your own ego at this point.
the war’s over so the far left and right will struggle to pin that on anyone. minorities have woken up from their nightmare dream of trump and everyone sees trump for the fascist he is
so whether its kamala, gavin or alex it should be a shoo-in for the dems this time around
will see at the midterms i guess
Trump is invading Venezuela so we can be at war for the midterms, so they likely won’t happen
