WASHINGTON — Kamala Harris isn't ruling out another run for the White House.
In an interview with the BBC published on Saturday, Harris said she expects a woman to become president in the coming years and it “possibly” could be her.

“I’m not done yet,” she said.
The former vice president said she has not yet decided whether to launch a 2028 presidential campaign. But she rejected the idea that she would face more difficulties.
“I've lived my entire career in service, and it's in my blood. And there are many ways to serve,” she said. “I never listened to polls.”

She recently gave a series of interviews following the release of her book in September. 107 days. Her experience of replacing then-President Joe Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee in 2024 after he dropped out of the race comes to mind.
She ultimately lost to Republican President Donald Trump.
In an interview with The Associated Press last week, Harris, 60, also signaled that the possibility of running again in 2028 was still under consideration. She said she sees herself leading the party, including in the fight against Trump and preparing for the 2026 midterm elections.
Asked in an Oct. 17 AP interview if she had plans for a 2028 bid, Harris said, “I haven't decided yet. Honestly. I haven't decided yet. I may or may not. I haven't decided yet.”
When specifically asked if she still wanted to do the job, she used the past tense, saying, “This is the job I wanted to do.” But she noted that the only way to do this is to “run” and win.
Meanwhile, the political battle among Democrats in the 2028 presidential election appears to be unfolding even earlier than usual.
Several potential candidates are already taking steps to get to know voters in key states, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom, term-limited Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and California Rep. Ro Khanna. Ultimately, more than 30 high-ranking Democrats could compete in the primaries.
