Former Vice President Kamala Harris left the door open Monday when asked if she’s considering another run at the White House.
“Everybody here wants to know the answer. Will you run again?” podcast host and author Sharon McMahon asked the failed 2024 Democratic nominee for president.
To which Harris responded, “I haven’t decided.”
“cats or dogs?”
“how many times a day do you say ‘i told you so’?”
“best way to make eggs?”
“do you do your own hair, make up, and nails?”

“You’re still thinking about it?” the host pressed.
“I might,” Harris replied coyly.
Harris, 61, announced last July that she would not seek the governorship of her home state of California, setting up a possible 2028 presidential run.
Prior to her announcement last summer, Harris was widely believed to be contemplating three options for her political future: a 2026 gubernatorial run in the Golden State, seeking the presidency again in 2028, or remaining on the sidelines following her blowout 2024 loss at the hands of Donald Trump.
Harris and California Gov. Gavin Newsom are the top two Democratic contenders in a hypothetical nationwide primary, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average, with the ex-veep getting 28.3% support and the term-limited governor receiving 20.7% backing.
McMahon noted that she was not surprised by Harris’ answer, indicating that she got the “impression” from her memoir about the 2024 campaign, “107 Days,” that the former vice president wants another shot at the White House.

“I closed the book and I’m like, oh, she wants to. She’s just thinking about it,” the host said.
Harris maintained that that’s not what she wanted readers to take away.
“No, the book is about a specific period in time,” she said. “There was no agenda beyond what we’ve discussed already, which is just sharing with people, you know, the reality of the experience, and hopefully allowing people to see something of themselves in it, in a way that – you know, that Girl Scout troop, when it comes time for them to read it, might see themselves in and know what they can do and that they could do it.”
