In her first interview in the UK, Kamala Harris said she “probably” will become president one day and is confident there will be a woman in the White House in the future.
Kamala Harris turned on her former rival on the BBC, calling Donald Trump a “tyrant.” She stated that the warnings she made about him during the election campaign turned out to be correct.

Kamala Harris on polls and business
Responding to the accusation that her chances of winning a Democratic seat were slim — even behind Hollywood actor Dwayne the Rock Johnson — she said she had never paid attention to the polls.
“If I had listened to the polls, I wouldn't have run for office for the first or second time – and I certainly wouldn't be sitting here” – she said on the BBC.

Kamala Harris also criticized American business leaders and institutions that, in her opinion, gave in too easily to the president's demands. “There are many who have capitulated from day one, who bend the knee to the tyrant. “I think it's for many reasons, including because they want to be close to the government, because they want to get approval for the merger or to avoid an investigation,” she suggested.
The BBC notes that Harris' candidacy is often criticized among democratic analysts, and her weaknesses as a leader are cited as the reason for her defeat. When asked what went wrong, instead of going deeper into the analysis, she replied that she started so late that winning was practically impossible.
