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.
She tried to play towards too many people all at once really. Trump wasn’t committing to anything as he was posturing that he could be either way on an issue, and I think Harris was trying a more toned down version of that. Her bet was that swing state voters were more center or right leaning, but really she almost cemented them being that way with her middle ground approach.
Her actual policy positions were reasonable and passable on their own, but she didn’t bake any risk into her platform. She didn’t try to promise more progressive legislation, which almost assuredly would have helped her and the other Democratic Senators/House members to win their elections.
