Kamala Harris says she is not done with politics and strongly suggested that she is considering another bid for president in a new interview.

In an interview scheduled to air on the BBC on Sunday morning, Harris says that she would “possibly” be the next president, making the clearest suggestion to date that she will make another run for the White House in 2028 despite lagging far behind in the polls.

Harris insisted that she had not yet made a decision, but that she was confident that there will eventually be a woman in the White House and her political career is not over.

Please don't.

She was one of the 1st candidates to drop out of the primary in 2020, and then lost the general to Trump in 2024. Read the room.

If all you're doing right now is going around the country promoting your book, talking about how you got screwed by your former boss, and how powerless you are to stop anything happening now, you're done.

Please fuck right off. I despise her as much as Hillary.

Fuck Kamala and the DNC. Progressive candidates only. No AIPAC

Maybe she could snag Hillary as a running mate!

You lost to the Pedo. Poor message or everyone hated you? Both.

I actually quite like her, but this is a terrible idea

Bow out gracefully, don't let ego get in the way and let someone who actually has a shot have a go, otherwise it's just going to be more of the same shit

She's doing everything she can to stay relevant. Her career is over.

If only she would have grifted harder, she'd have the money to buy favorable media coverage, huh?

Listen kid, I like you. I don't think you're a bad person, and I think you'd do a great job as a representative. But the next democratic presidential candidate is going to have to be a white male esp can decimate Trump in every aspect

So we're just done now even pretending the 2 term limit is a thing?

Trump won't be alive, but Republicans are doing everything they can to redistrict and build in backdoor cheating mechanisms into our voting system.

To have a chance the opposition can't just win. They have to fucking crush it. Republicans are going to have the ability to cheat away a loss of 10% or less. But a loss of 20 or 30% across the board would be more than they could lie their way out of.

Then we'll have a chance to execute every last one of these fucks, seize their assets and arrest their adult children

I mean, I wouldn't put it past them to try it. Might not be legal or tradition, but since when has that stopped them
