'I am not done': Kamala Harris says she may run for president again

interview

Kamala Harris said she was not done with politics and strongly suggested 
that she was considering another bid for president.

In an interview scheduled to air on the BBC on Sunday morning, Harris said 
that she would “possibly” be the next president, making the clearest 
suggestion to date that she would 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 would eventually be a woman in the White House and 
her political career was not over.

“I am not done,” the former vice-president told the BBC. “I have lived my 
entire career as a life of service and it’s in my bones.”

Harris dismissed polls that place her as an outsider to win a place on the 
Democratic ticket – currently ranking behind even Hollywood actor Dwayne 
“the Rock” Johnson.

“If I listened to polls I would have not run for my first office, or my 
second office – and I certainly wouldn’t be sitting here,” she said.

In the interview on Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg, the UK’s prime weekend 
political show, Harris said the warnings she made on the campaign trail 
about Donald Trump behaving as a fascist and authoritarian had been proved 
right. She lambasted her former rival as a “tyrant” with “thin skin” who 
is weaponising the justice system.

Harris pointed to the suspension of late-night comic Jimmy Kimmel by ABC 
after he joked about Republican reaction to the killing of rightwing 
political activist Charlie Kirk. Kimmel’s ousting was celebrated by Trump, 
and came after a Trump-appointed regulator threatened ABC.

“He said he would weaponise the Department of Justice – and he has done 
exactly that … His skin is so thin he couldn’t endure criticism from a 
joke, and attempted to shut down an entire media organisation in the 
process,” she said.

Harris also slammed business leaders and institutions in the US whom she 
accused of submitting to Trump’s tyrannical demands: “There are many … 
that have capitulated since day one, who are bending the knee at the foot 
of a tyrant, I believe for many reasons, including they want to be next to 
power, because they want to perhaps have a merger approved or avoid an 
investigation.”

In a response to the BBC, a White House spokesperson said: “When Kamala 
Harris lost the election in a landslide, she should’ve taken the hint – 
the American people don’t care about her absurd lies.”

Harris is on an international book tour promoting 107 Days, her account of 
her abbreviated 2024 presidential run, which began only after Joe Biden 
withdrew from the race following months of speculation about his cognitive 
decline.

She blamed the election loss on the unprecedentedly short campaign, but 
questions about her communication style, authenticity and failure to 
connect with working-class voters remain unanswered. Harris – and the 
Democratic party more broadly – have also failed to fully acknowledge the 
role Biden’s unchecked and uncritical support of what the UN has described 
as Israel’s “genocidal” war on Gaza played in alienating voters.


-- 
November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look 
forward to America being great again.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that 
stupid people won't be offended.

Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama 
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the 
The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood 
queer liberal democrat donors.
