Guess who’s not ready to exit stage left—Kamala Harris dropped a bombshell on October 25, 2025, teasing another shot at the White House, as New York Post reports.
In a candid BBC interview, the former vice president and 2024 Democratic presidential contender signaled she’s far from finished with politics, despite a crushing defeat to Donald Trump last year by 2 million votes and a lopsided 312 to 226 Electoral College margin, while currently promoting her memoir about that whirlwind campaign.
Harris’s loss in 2024 came after a rapid ascent to the Democratic ticket, prompted by President Joe Biden’s abrupt withdrawal following a faltering debate performance in July of that year.
Now, as she tours to promote her book “107 Days,” Harris reflects on the chaotic sprint to Election Day, critiquing Biden’s choice to run again at age 81—a decision some in her party believe tethered her too closely to his policies, hampering her ability to carve out a distinct platform.
“Was it grace, or was it recklessness? In retrospect, I think it was recklessness. The stakes were simply too high,” Harris wrote in her memoir about Biden’s reelection bid. While her honesty might resonate with frustrated voters, it’s a tad late to distance herself from a sinking ship—accountability starts with owning one’s campaign missteps, not just pointing fingers.
Despite the setback, Harris made it clear in her BBC chat that her political journey isn’t over, showing a resolve that’s either admirable or stubbornly out of touch with public sentiment after such a decisive loss.
“I am not done. I have lived my entire career as a life of service and it’s in my bones,” Harris told the BBC. That kind of grit plays well on paper, but after a landslide rejection, one wonders if the American electorate is craving fresh faces over recycled ambition.
White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson didn’t mince words, stating, “When Kamala lost the election in a landslide she should’ve taken the hint – the American people don’t care about her absurd lies.” It’s a sharp jab, and while the tone might sting, it reflects a broader conservative frustration with leaders who seem to prioritize personal comebacks over the public’s clear verdict.
During the interview, Harris also took a swipe at Trump, labeling him a “tyrant,” a comment that underscores her lingering bitterness but risks alienating voters tired of divisive rhetoric over substantive policy debates.
Looking ahead, Harris holds a lead over figures like former California Gov. Gavin Newsom and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg in recent Democratic primary surveys for the 2028 nomination, though her edge is tenuous.
According to the Polymarket betting site, her odds of clinching the Democratic nod in 2028 sit at a meager 2 percent, with Newsom and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) currently pegged as stronger contenders for the party’s future.
Representatives for Harris couldn’t be reached immediately for further comment by The Post, leaving some questions about her next steps unanswered for now.
Closer to home, Harris made a calculated move in July 2025, declaring after much thought that she would not enter the open Democratic primary for California governor, perhaps eyeing a bigger national stage instead.
Her trajectory raises a critical point for conservatives—while persistence is a virtue, the progressive tendency to cling to failed candidates often overshadows the need for new ideas that could genuinely challenge the status quo.
As Harris plots her return, the question looms whether she can redefine herself beyond the 2024 debacle, or if the Democratic Party—and the nation—might be better served by voices unburdened by past electoral baggage. Time will tell if this is a comeback worth watching or just another sequel nobody asked for.
