Overview
- In BBC clips released this weekend, Kamala Harris said a woman will be president in her grandnieces’ lifetimes and answered "possibly" when asked if it could be her.
- Harris emphasized she has not decided on a 2028 run but said public service is "in my bones" and rejected early polls and betting odds that rate her as an underdog.
- Calling President Donald Trump a "tyrant," she accused him of weaponizing federal agencies and pointed to Jimmy Kimmel’s brief suspension as evidence of pressure on media; the White House dismissed her remarks as "absurd lies."
- The comments come as she promotes her memoir, 107 Days, after previously ruling out a 2026 California governor bid, a move that preserved a potential presidential path.
- Democratic positioning for 2028 is already underway, with figures such as Gavin Newsom, Andy Beshear and Ro Khanna courting key states, while Polymarket betting gives Harris low single-digit odds.
