Failed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has teased another run for the White House.

“I am not done,” the former vice president told the BBC in her strongest comments so far on her political plans. “I have lived my entire career as a life of service and it’s in my bones,” she told the British outlet.

The former California senator and state attorney general also maintained her grand-nieces would see the nation elect its first female president “in their lifetime, for sure.”

Pressed on whether it would be her, Harris responded: “possibly.”

Her comments to the network come less than a year after she lost the 2024 election to Donald Trump by 2 million votes, and by a whopping margin of 312 to 226 in the Electoral College.

“When Kamala lost the election in a landslide she should’ve taken the hint – the American people don’t care about her absurd lies,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told The Post. “Or maybe she did take the hint and that’s why she’s continuing to air her grievances to foreign publications,” she added.

Harris has been on a book tour promoting her memoir, “107 Days,” about her frenetic White House run following President Joe Biden’s stunning decision to exit the race after his July 2024 debate disaster against President Trump.

She dismissed betting odds that give her a slim chance of making it back to the White House.

“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,” she told the BBC.

Harris leads former California Gov. Gavin Newsom and former Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg in recent Democratic primary polls.

She cited the “mantra” of it being “Joe and Jill’s decision” as to whether Biden would run again, in reference to former first lady Jill Biden.

“Was it grace, or was it recklessness? In retrospect, I think it was recklessness. The stakes were simply too high. This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition. It should have been more than a personal decision.”

Harris announced in July after “deep reflection” that she would not run in the open Democratic primary to be governor of California.

Reps for Harris, who blasted Trump in the BBC interview as a “tyrant,” could not immediately be reached for comment by The Post.
