Harris also left the door open to a potential 2028 presidential run while speaking with the BBC in an interview that aired Saturday. Harris is a longtime California Democrat who has served as San Francisco district attorney, the California attorney general, and a U.S. senator representing California before ascending the political landscape as the nation's vice president in 2021.
"I am not done," Harris told the British outlet. "I have lived my entire career as a life of service, and it’s in my bones."
Harris said during the interview that her grandnieces would see the first female president "in their lifetime, for sure," and that she could "possibly" be that woman, according to the BBC.
Harris brushed off polling that shows her as a 2028 Democrat outsider, saying during the interview that she historically has not listened to polling data.

"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."

"I would love him to run for president," he said. "I’d love to see that, but I don’t think he’s going to be running because that one project alone — well, that, and the fires and a lot of other things — pretty much put him out of the race."

The "one project alone" refers to the high-speed rail project that has been plagued by delays and increased costs, with the Trump administration pulling the funding plug on the project in July.
Fox News Digital reached out to the respective offices of Newsom and Harris Monday morning for additional comment on their 2028 remarks and has yet to receive replies.
