Kamala Harris ‘thinking about’ another run for president
Kamala Harris has said she is thinking about running for president again in 2028.
The vice president was asked directly at an event overnight if she would go for the job she lost in 2024.
"Listen, I might, I might. I'm thinking about it," she said.

"I'll keep you posted.
"I know what the job is and what it requires."
Harris was speaking at the convention of the National Action Network, a civil rights group founded by former candidate Al Sharpton.
She was reportedly given an enthusiastic reception from the crowd.
"This is a convention, not a revival," Sharpton told the crowd.
Harris spoke at length in her criticism of the Trump administration.
"The status quo is not working," she said.
"The American people have the right to expect that anyone who wants to run for office – it can't be about themselves."
At this stage in the US political cycle, potential candidates are normally very coy about their presidential ambitions.

Typically would-be contenders do not announce whether they will run until after the midterm elections in November.
But Harris is touring the country in a way that politicians rarely do if they intend to retire.
Rumours abounded that Harris would run again for president when she declined a bid for the governorship of California last year.
The event also included a series of other likely Democratic candidates for president, including Pete Buttigieg, JB Pritzker, Josh Shapiro and Wes Moore.
Most polls of the Democratic primary for the 2028 election show Kamala Harris with a tenuous lead over her rivals.
While she has the advantage of universal name recognition, it is clear Democratic voters are not convinced she is the best option.

The previous losing candidate typically leads in early polls the next election around.
But it is very rare for a nominee to make a second attempt after losing a general election.
The last major party candidate to claim a presidential nomination twice in a row without winning was Adlai Stevenson in 1952 and 1956.
He lost in a landslide both times. Nevertheless, he tried and failed to get the nomination a third time at the 1960 Democratic convention.
Harris claimed the nomination in an unusual and very expedited fashion in 2024 after Joe Biden dropped out after the primaries but before the convention.
In the 2024 election, Harris lost to Donald Trump by 1.5 percent in the national vote.
But Trump managed to claim every swing state, giving him a dominant electoral college victory.
Last year she penned a book where she lamented not having enough time to introduce herself to the American people after getting the nomination.
A poll released by YouGov this week showed only 62 per cent of people who voted for Trump were confident in that decision.

Kettle recalled over glaring design fault
A travel kettle has been recalled after it was revealed to have a design flaw that could cause serious injuries.
Australia's product safety watchdog issued a recall notice for Valley Sisters' DUCK4X4 Travel Folding Electric Kettle after it was revealed the appliance does not turn off automatically after the water is boiled.
This is because it doesn't have an automatic switch to shut it down.
