Kamala Harris is contemplating a potential bid for the presidency, indicating she is not finished with her political ambitions. The former Vice President, who previously competed against Donald Trump in the 2024 election, expressed her aspirations in an interview with the BBC, suggesting she could foresee herself as President in the future.
During the interview with Laura Kuenssberg, Harris mentioned her belief in the possibility of having a female President during her grandnieces’ lifetimes, hinting that she could be a contender. She emphasized her dedication to public service, stating that it is ingrained in her character.
Despite being viewed as an underdog by bookmakers in the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination, Harris leads in various polls. She dismissed the significance of polls, citing her past decisions to run for office despite unfavorable polling data.
Regarding Trump, Harris criticized him as a “tyrant” and pointed out his administration’s actions targeting individuals like Jimmy Kimmel. She condemned business leaders who complied with Trump’s demands, particularly those who supported the construction of Trump’s lavish ballroom.
The full interview with Harris will be aired as part of Ms. Kuenssberg’s BBC One program. As interest in U.S. politics continues, the Mirror has introduced a US Politics WhatsApp community for real-time news updates from across the Atlantic.
