Former US Vice President Kamala Harris has announced her retirement from politics. She said in an interview that the American political system is currently broken and she does not want to go back to it for now. Harris said that in this broken system, she has no intention of running for any political office, including the post of governor of California.

She added that the people who should have acted as the guardians of our system have bowed their heads to Trump. In her first interview since the 2024 presidential election, Kamala Harris criticized Congress for sitting on its hands and not standing up to some of Trump's policies.

Harris did not clarify whether she would run for the White House in 2028. She said that she always believed that our system would be strong enough to protect the basic principles, but at the moment she does not think so.
