Trump is finally entering the Oval Office again. Harris isn’t happy about that at all.

And Kamala Harris is scheming a plan for revenge after brutal election defeat.

In her final days as Vice President, Kamala Harris made it clear to her staff that she intends to remain a prominent figure in American politics. During a ceremonial event in her office, Harris added her signature to the desk drawer—a longstanding tradition among vice presidents. With current and former staff gathered around, she delivered a message about her tenure and her future.

“And I’m not going to go through the laundry list of all of our accomplishments. We know what they are,” Harris said, addressing the room. “But I will tell you that everyone here has so much to be proud of, and our work is not done. And as you all know me, because we have spent long hours, long days, and months and years together, it is not my nature to go quietly into the night.”

Harris is the first woman to participate in the tradition of signing the drawer, a custom that spans decades of vice presidents. She pointed out that, during her time in office, she had personally met every individual who had signed the desk before her, except for Presidents Dwight Eisenhower and Harry Truman.

When Harris completed the ritual, the gathered crowd erupted into cheers and chants of “MVP!”

Reflecting on their collective work, Harris told her staff, “We have each taken on a life and a calling that is about doing work in the service of others and doing it in a way that is fueled, yes, with ambition; yes, with a sense of almost stubbornness about not hearing no; and knowing we can make a difference.”

An Unprecedented Term in Office

Harris made history as America’s first female vice president, taking office during a tumultuous time marked by a global pandemic and widespread social and political unrest. Alongside President Joe Biden, she faced a series of formidable challenges that were self-inflicted, including navigating the fallout of COVID-19, escalating crime rates, rising inflation, and an increasingly contentious immigration crisis at the southern border.

Despite these challenges, Harris’ tenure was often overshadowed by criticism and viral moments, particularly her frequent use of what some commentators dubbed “word salads” in public speeches. Even as she ascended to become the Democratic Party’s 2024 presidential nominee following President Biden’s abrupt withdrawal from the race, she struggled to energize the electorate.

The 2024 campaign trail was fraught with controversy, including multiple assassination attempts targeting Donald Trump. In the end, Harris suffered a crushing loss to Trump, a defeat that has left her political future uncertain.

A Referendum on Leadership

Harris’ defeat in the 2024 presidential election was widely seen as a referendum by voters on her leadership. Critics pointed to her inability to deliver on key promises made during the Biden-Harris administration, particularly on issues like border security and the economy.

Political analysts argue that her loss signaled a rejection of what many saw as ineffective governance during her vice presidency. For a lot of Americans, Kamala Harris was viewed as one of the worst vice presidents in modern history.

What’s Next for Harris?

Speculation about Harris’ future has already begun to circulate. Some believe she may run for governor of California in 2026, given that Governor Gavin Newsom will be ineligible to seek another term because of term limits.

Others suggest she may bypass state politics altogether and focus on mounting another presidential bid in 2028.

For now, Harris has been tight-lipped about her plans. Thursday’s remarks, however, suggest she has no intention of fading into obscurity. Whether her next chapter involves state leadership or another attempt at the White House, one thing is clear: Kamala Harris wants to try and remain a force in American politics.

It remains to be seen if that will actually end up happening.
