Kamala Harris hints at another presidential run: “I am not done”

Former US vice president Kamala Harris has hinted she could make another bid for the White House in an interview with the BBC, saying she would “possibly” be president one day and expressing confidence that America will see a woman in the Oval Office in the future.

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.

Harris also criticized American business leaders and institutions she believes have been too quick to yield to Trump’s authority.

“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,” she told the BBC.

The full interview will be broadcast on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg at 0900 on Sunday 26 Oct 2025.

That's London time, btw.

Knew all along she would run again. She's got some powerful backing.

For the 2024 presidential campaign, Kamala Harris raised approximately $997.2 million while Donald Trump raised about $388 million.

Context of Fundraising

Harris's Campaign: The fundraising figure reported primarily applies to her own campaign efforts starting after she became the nominee.

Trump's Campaign: His total reflects funds raised by his campaign specifically during this election cycle.

Biden's initial fundraising efforts are generally considered separate and do not contribute to the totals for Harris and Trump in the context of their direct presidential campaigns.

Thus, the numbers can be viewed as independent for the candidates in the current election cycle.

Me: I ask this specifically because she only could raise that money in a few months. Biden dropped out.

You're correct that Kamala Harris's fundraising of approximately $997.2 million took place over a relatively short period after she became the Democratic nominee.

Key Points:

Biden's Withdrawal: Joe Biden dropped out of the race earlier in the election cycle, which limited direct contributions from his campaign's resources to Harris’s efforts during this time.

Short Fundraising Window: Harris's figure reflects her campaign's rapid fundraising momentum within only a few months, particularly as she gained support from various donor networks.

On the other hand, Donald Trump's figure of $388 million encompasses his fundraising efforts throughout the entirety of the campaign, giving Harris a notable edge in terms of funds raised in a shorter timeframe, especially after Biden's exit from the race.

@RedBaron You're missing the mark why Trump was elected as well. He appeals to his own constituents.

The same way way King Louie the 16th did to his aristocracy. The same way Napoleon Bonaparte appealed to his people. The same way Alexander the great appealed to his soldiers. On and on and on.

It's that appeal that is the wrong approach. You go down that hellish rabbit hole into a nightmare with that type of appeal.

You want a woman example with that type of appeal? Cleopatra of Egypt.

@DeWayfarer But that is irrelevant to what the Democrats need to do in order to win the next election, and that is what is important now.

The past cannot be changed.

@RedBaron It is totally relevant! Because it doesn't matter what type of government in which that appeal is in.

That appeal is wrong. Alexander the great became emperor of a once great Greek democracy.

Genghis Khan had that type of appeal.

If I were a Republican Harris I would think that Harris would be the ideal candidate for the Democrats to run. I keep hearing that the Democrats can't fund raise off of her so there is that.

At this point, it would just be a vanity run. She's cooked. She's done. She can't win... and not because she's a woman and not because of the colour of her skin. She still has a useful voice and place, but it won't be as a candidate for president.

Choosing someone who has the odds of winning in her/his favour will be a far better choice. It can't be an "existential crisis" if everyone acts like it is business as usual.

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays Even the maga-nuts won't listen to him if Pedophile enthusiast & make-up wearing snowflake Cry-Baby-trump is incapacitated. There will be so much in-fighting between Miller, Vance, Bannon, and Vaught vying for control even the coffee boy won't know who to serve first.

Oh that is real smart, if something does not work try it again.

I’m sure she’d be a decent president, but she’s a pretty crappy candidate regardless of her gender. Democrats can find someone better than her. We don’t need to see a President Vance in 2028.

I hope for America her dreams are never realized!!

I believe it’s more likely that the first woman to be elected will be a Republican.
The thing is, America is not ready for a female president. Newsom would be a much better bet.
@wildland What about JB Pritzker, Josh Shapiro, or Wes Moore?
@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays All good. Shapiro would be good

She will not win if she is not picked by the elites. They are all from the same Royal bloodline. That's how you get in.
@Zonuss Royal bloodline, this is a new one 🍿
OMG. She stood with Israel in a genocide as a campaign promise!
OMG. No shame. Dems have no shame. Kamala should not be on your lips.
