TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Former U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has hinted that she may not be done with politics, signaling the possibility of another presidential run in the future.

In an interview with the BBC, as quoted by The Washington Post on Saturday, October 25, 2025, Harris said she still has a strong political ambition and that her public service journey is far from over.

I am not done,” she said firmly. “I have lived my entire career a life of service and it’s in my bones. And there are many ways to serve.

The statement quickly reignited speculation that Harris is preparing for a potential 2028 presidential bid. While she did not confirm any plans, Harris said her current focus remains on public service and the future of America.

After Her 2024 Election Defeat

Harris’s remarks come nearly a year after her defeat in the 2024 presidential election, when Donald Trump returned to the White House.

Harris had stepped in as the Democratic nominee after Joe Biden decided not to seek re-election, but her campaign struggled to attract voters in key battleground states.

The loss placed Harris under public scrutiny and doubt. However, she now appears to be rebuilding her political image and reconnecting with her base. In an earlier interview with People magazine, Harris said, “I If I listened to polls, I would have not run for my first office, or my second office — and I certainly wouldn't be sitting here.”

Seeking Momentum for 2028

Harris has recently been active in policy forums and public discussions, promoting issues central to her platform such as gender equality, gun reform, and women’s reproductive rights.

According to AP News, Harris is working to restore grassroots support and expand her network among young and minority voters. Although she has not made an official announcement, her statement “I’m not done” is seen as her clearest political signal since her defeat.

It shows her determination not to be remembered only as America’s first female vice president, but as a leader still aiming for a historic return to the White House, this time as president.
