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

[–] frostedtrailblazer@lemmy.zip 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Bgugi@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, they'll probably push Hillary again.

[–] frostedtrailblazer@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I hate how accurate that sounds. I really hope not, otherwise the Democratic Party really will have learned nothing in over a decade.

Fuck you Kamala. Fuck you DNC. We only want AOC or similar.

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

C’mon don’t censor out him swearing! It’s integral to Vaas’ character!

Uncensored version:

“Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is? Insanity is doing the exact... same fucking thing... over and over again expecting... shit to change... That. Is. Crazy.”

[–] EmpireInDecay@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

She ignored the centrist voter and went straight to moderate/Bush Republicans

Exactly. I fully agree.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 9 points 2 weeks ago

"centrist" is so far right the word has no meaning.

[–] cattywampas@midwest.social 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

She won't make it out of the primaries.

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.

Please don’t

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 29 points 2 weeks ago

Seriously though, don't.

[–] Hayduke@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago

No thanks and no thanks. The best message she had was basically “well, I’m not trump” and air-balled. With the little runway she was afforded, I cared less about her life story, breakout republican alignment and Walz and Vance getting chummy, and more about tackling the very real pressing issues every day people face. The message that she won’t do what trump is likely to do was just a low bar and already understood, or at least implied, and whatever else she had was nebulous and same-old.

I didn’t dislike her, and she would have probably been fine, but she struck me as a B-tier candidate on the best of days.

[–] 1orangecat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 7 points 2 weeks ago

Your opinion is noted, Russia.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 24 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

If she even comes close to trying again she's gonna get ratiod so hard.

[–] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 weeks ago

I mean, she was a very successful weak opposition. Remember that politics is a business and they got paid like a billion dollars last time.

Never underestimate the opposition party’s thirst for defeat.

[–] NeilBru@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

For love of democracy, DONT!

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks 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?

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 10 points 2 weeks ago

I toldja she's taking up Hillary's can't put a sock in it for 40 years mantle.

[–] ClassStruggle@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

For fucks sake. I wonder who they will blame when they lose again, because it's never their ineptitude. At least this time it won't be to a carnival barker. It will be something worse than trump

[–] TheGoldenV@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

It’ll be the “non-voters” again. It can’t possibly be their own fault or the fault of tens of millions of shitheel racist MAGAs.
Never learn. Rinse, wash, repeat.

Please be done. If you wanted to be a leader, now is the time. Not three years from now.

[–] bagsy@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

No. we dont want you. you conceeded when you knew you had won. you arent fighting or leading now. you are not what we need or want.

[–] dmtalon@infosec.pub 6 points 2 weeks ago

Is she going to stay in the background not in headlines expressing her views of what's happening now, until a few months before the election and repeat the last run?

I personally think Democrats can do better, but whoever that is needs to be getting and keeping their name out there leading the charge.

[–] Redditsux@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Just no. thank you!
