In an interview with the BBC published on Saturday, Harris said she expected a woman to become president in the next few years and that it could “probably” be her. “It’s not over yet,” she said.
The former vice president said he has not yet decided whether to run for president in 2028. However, she dismissed suggestions that she would face long odds.
“I’ve lived a life of service throughout my career, and it’s in my bones, and there are many ways to serve,” she said. “I’ve never even heard of public opinion polls.”
She recently agreed to a series of interviews following the September release of her book 107 Days. She reflects on her experience succeeding her as the 2024 Democratic presidential candidate after then-President Joe Biden dropped out of the race.
She ultimately lost to Republican President Donald Trump.
In an interview with The Associated Press last week, Harris, 60, also said running again in 2028 remains on the table. She said she considers herself a leader in the party, including pushing back against Trump and preparing for the 2026 midterm elections.
In an Oct. 17 interview with The Associated Press, Harris was asked if she had any plans for a 2028 bid, and she said, “I haven’t decided. In my heart. I haven’t decided. Maybe I’ll do it, maybe I won’t. I haven’t decided.”
When asked specifically if she still wanted to do the job, she answered in the past tense, “It’s the job I wanted to do.” But she pointed out that the only way to do that is to “run” and win.
Meanwhile, political maneuvering within the Democratic Party for the 2028 presidential election appears to be unfolding even faster than in previous years.
Several potential candidates have already taken steps to meet voters in key states, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom, term-limited Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and California Rep. Ro Khanna. More than 30 prominent Democrats could ultimately advance to the primary.
