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.

Guys, the game is over. Stop acting like there will be a normal election. It is too late to fix the system. America as you know it is over. The future is dictatorship or revolution/war

Your opinion is noted, Russia.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Please don’t

[-] EmpireInDecay@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

And the DNC will prop her up as their preferred candidate and play confused when they lose again

[-] pjwestin@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

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.

Newsome takes aipac money. He just passed a anti semeticisn bill.

His trump trolling is entertaining. But He should not be president.

[-] Arcane2077@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

I was assured by Lemmy that not only she was done, but she stopped existing all together and couldn’t do anything about anything anymore

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago

Muthafuggas think there's gonna be an election... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 😐

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

WTAF. I mean, if she were to win the primary, I guess most people would be: "eh, okay, I guess I'll vote for her because there is no really any other option", but is there anyone that is truly hyped about the idea of her running?

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

So she has not learned that some key issues she stupidly defended made her lose against a demented idiot?

[-] Soktopraegaeawayok@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Oh, she's done.

[-] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 1 points 5 months ago

If there's anything left, you mean.

Maybe when the northern states merge together to form a union after the war.

[-] shiroininja@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago
[-] BotsRuinedEverything@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

I voted for Hillary in '16, I voted for Kamala in '24. This is not the time to run another female candidate. I'm not convinced we'll ever have a legitimate election again, but we need someone who fits the mold better. Given the choice, I would vote for Newsom before I voted for Kamala again.

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

If this is true, there is a DNC conspiracy to keep Trump as POTUS until he dies.

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Love you, but fuck off, ma'am. Not needed, and it's only for your own ego at this point.

[-] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 months ago

For love of democracy, DONT!

[-] 1orangecat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago

What a horrible idea of sabotage. If she runs again, I believe it will be similar to when the DNC picked Hillary over Bernie for the primaries all over again.

[-] JennyLaFae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 5 months ago

I honestly believe the DNC doesn't want to win.

[-] skeezix@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

they didnt want Bernie to win. Because they love their lobby money too.

[-] Krauerking@lemy.lol 1 points 5 months ago

Is this even a useful conversation at this time or just a willing distraction?

[-] ButtermilkBiscuit@feddit.nl 1 points 5 months ago

I think it might be a pretty short conversation if she has to run in a real primary.

[-] NeilBru@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

You're done.

I pinched my nose and voted for you. I pinched my nose and voted for Biden. I pinched my nose (really hard) and voted for Hillary, after I gleefully voted for Bernie in the Primaries.

I know I'm not alone.

I've had enough.

You're done.

[-] Kalon@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Sorry, I just threw up a little in my mouth.

[-] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 0 points 5 months ago

Nothing against her, and by all means, I hope she does throw her hat in the ring, along with a whole slew of other candidates, but I hope she gets Mamdani’d. I hope AOC throws her hat in and we have a real debate about the direction of the party.

Moreover, what a time we are in where two potential candidates for president could be women? Broader forces excluded, that seems like quite a revolutionary time to be alive.

[-] Quexotic@infosec.pub 0 points 5 months ago

Yep. I think you're right. The next presidential election will certainly be revolutionary.

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 0 points 5 months ago

With First-past-the-post voting? LoL

[-] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago

You Americans really love trump

[-] NeilBru@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

You <insertCountryHere>s really love to reduce 330+ million citizens with backgrounds from almost every corner of the planet to having one homogeneous political opinion.

[-] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Even after a year of trump and you guys still think Kamala is worse. You deserve everything you get.

Im just an indigenous guy enjoying the self destruction of your racist, terrorist nation, sorry if I’m excited about it 🤷‍♂️ You guys don’t get to play the victim of your own stupidity

Edit: colonizers mad i called them out for their garbage society

[-] SippyCup@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

We know Kamala is better.

We also know we can do better than Kamala, and that's Kamala can't win. Kamala spent her entire campaign courting right wing voters. She's more conservative than Bush Sr was.

[-] NeilBru@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

"Colonizers"?

Dude, my blood is from Gujarat, India. I was born in Chicago in the early eighties. I now live in the EU. Am I a "colonizer"?

[-] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago

No, you’re simping for the colonizers

[-] NeilBru@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

"Simping"?!

How? You can't be serious.

[-] NeilBru@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Do you honestly believe I voted for Trump, and not Kamala? C'mon dude.

[-] 0ndead@infosec.pub 1 points 5 months ago

We hate Trump, but she lost to him once already and she should not run again.

[-] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago

If that’s the case why do you guys keep wanting Bernie? He couldn’t even win the party nomination

[-] 0ndead@infosec.pub 1 points 5 months ago

I didn’t say a damn thing about Bernie. Try again.

[-] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

And she'll try to cater to the centrist voter just like last time, and lose just like last time too.

[-] cattywampas@midwest.social 0 points 5 months ago

She won't make it out of the primaries.

[-] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

She didn't even poll well in her home state of California last time she tried to win, she won't poll well. Remember how she clapped back at Biden's racist polices and said it personally affected her as a child?

~~Remember how said she it was a debate and was willing to look the other way when he picked her as VP?~~
