WASHINGTON — Kamala Harris is leaving the door open for a potential future bid for the presidency.

In a recent interview with the BBC, shared on Saturday, Harris expressed her belief that a woman will occupy the White House in the near future, and she acknowledged that it “possibly” could be her.

“I am not done,” Harris affirmed, indicating her ongoing commitment to public service.

While the former Vice President has not yet made a decision about running for president in 2028, she was quick to dismiss any notion that her chances would be slim.

“My entire career has been dedicated to service, and it’s something deeply ingrained in me,” she stated. “There are many avenues for serving, and I’ve never let polls dictate my path.”

She’s recently given a series of interviews following the September release of her book, “107 Days.” It looks back on her experience replacing then-President Joe Biden as the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee after he dropped out of the race.

She ultimately lost to Republican President Donald Trump.

In an interview with The Associated Press last week, Harris, 61, also made clear that running again in 2028 is still on the table. She said she sees herself as a leader of the party, including in pushing back against Trump and preparing for the 2026 midterms.

Asked in an Oct. 17 interview with AP whether she had plans for a 2028 bid, Harris said, “I haven’t decided. Sincerely. I have not decided. I may or I may not. I have not decided.”

Asked specifically whether she still wanted to do the job itself, she used the past tense, saying, “It’s a job I wanted to do.” But she noted that the only way to do it “is to run” and win.

Meanwhile, political jockeying among Democrats for the 2028 presidential contest appears to be playing out 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. Upward of 30 high-profile Democrats could ultimately enter the primary.
