Former Vice President Kamala Harris suggested Sunday she might run for office again while defending her handling of former President Joe Biden’s health during his 2024 reelection campaign in a Sunday interview with the BBC.

Harris, who has previously ruled out running in 2028, told BBC journalist Laura Kuenssberg, “I am not done. I have lived my entire career as a life of service, and it’s in my bones,” hinting at a potential future campaign.

The interview also focused on Harris’s reflections about Biden’s capacity to seek reelection. She said she had concerns about the demands of a political campaign on the then-president but maintained that she never doubted his ability to serve as president. “There is a very serious difference between capacity to be president of the United States and the capacity to run for president of the United States,” she explained.

Harris added, “It is on that latter piece that I talk about in the book, about my concern about his ability, with the level of endurance, energy that it requires, especially running against now the current president. But let’s be clear, my question was never about his capacity to be president.”

Kuenssberg pressed Harris on whether her distinction sent a confusing message to the public. Harris responded that her concern was about the campaign itself and the level of stamina it demands from any candidate, regardless of age.

The former vice president also criticized President Donald Trump, calling him a “tyrant” and accusing business leaders and institutions of accommodating him.
