Well, well, well. It seems Kamala Harris has finished licking her wounds after her defeat in last year’s presidential race and she, er, wants to do it all over again. Speaking to the BBC, the Democrat told Laura Kuenssberg that she might run again for the White House: ‘I am not done.’ Whether the polls are quite as optimistic about her chances is another issue…
In her first British interview since losing to current US President Donald Trump, Harris told the Beeb:
I have lived my entire career as a life of service and it’s in my bones… 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.
It’s fighting talk – but it’s not all that long ago that Harris, um, lost the election and all seven swing states to Trump. In fact, she took a number of swipes at the current president in her interview, calling Trump a ‘tyrant’ – and adding she felt vindicated for predicting that the Republican would ‘behave like a fascist’ if he won. ‘He said he would weaponise the Department of Justice – and he has done just that,’ she raged. Shots fired!
Harris has had almost a year to reflect on her failed bid to become president – but perhaps she needs a little more time to consider her position. She became the first Democrat to lose the popular vote in a US election in 20 years – which may be as good a sign as any that it’s time to finally throw the towel in…
