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.
And the DNC will prop her up as their preferred candidate and play confused when they lose again
I doubt the DNC wants her. The Biden folks were trying to scare people into backing him by threatening them with the possibility of a Kamala candidacy, since she was seen as such a trash candidate. Newsom is probably the preferred candidate; he makes a good show of fighting Trump, but doesn’t do any crazy leftist stuff like treating homeless or trans people as human beings. That’s what the DNC wants.
I’m skeptical that Harris is the front runner the DNC pushes, they might but I believe we could see a split over Harris, Walz, or Newsome as the front runner in 2028.
Someone like AOC could throw their hat in the ring, which could work but they would have to do hardball quite a lot to get any progressive legislation passed federally. The courts would be trying to check the EO power and be much more limiting than they are currently.
No, they’ll probably push Hillary again.
I hate how accurate that sounds. I really hope not, otherwise the Democratic Party really will have learned nothing in over a decade.

I mean you already worked your darndest to throw one election to the Republicans, why shouldn’t we expect you to do a second.
The “Centrist” is the least reliable voter in Democratic tent and we lose elections thinking these toxic POS are able to be relied on
Go full populist, go full progressive, you’ll win. Cater to the Blu MAGA contingent again, you’ll lose.
Actually I want a Mamdani-type candidate to run for president someone who isn’t afraid to really lie and make promises they know they’ll never be able to keep so they can get votes.
Not one should be concerned with what the spoiler class of the DNC wants
Or people can actually get to work building a vanguard party.

I feel temporarily stymied at building that party, even beginning to build it in my area; but I haven’t lost hope for it and am actively exploring avenues in that general direction.
