Kamala Harris will leave the office of the US Vice President in 72 days at the end of her tenure of four years. The 60-year-old democrat, who lost the Presidential election to Republican candidate Donald Trump, addressed a dismal crowd at her alma mater, Howard University, days after she lost the poll bid. In her address, she vowed to continue the fight that fuelled her election campaign.

However, Kamala did not announce any immediate plans for her political career, sparking curiosity among her global support base on what's next for the 'Madam Vice President'.

The 2028 Challenge?

Kamala, who took the responsibility after failing ratings of Democrats due to the age issues of President Biden, is one of the most prominent faces in the party. There are precedents when US politicians, after failing to secure the White House, entered the next term in one way or another.

John Kerry, the 2004 nominee who lost to George Bush, remained active in politics, later serving as Secretary of State during Barack Obama's second term.

A Seat At Senate

Kamala might think of returning to the upper house of the oldest democracy. However, this road might not be as easy as some would think as she might not get as many doners as during the Presidential campaign.

This can be understood by a comment by Longtime Democrat donor Mark Buell, who expressed disappointment shared by many in her home state. “Everybody is devastated,” he was quoted as saying by the New York Times.

Democratic Party Spokesperson

Although nothing up to her stature, Kamala could remain active in politics by working for the party. Given her connection and influence, she could be an excellent spokesperson within the party.

The Road Of Words

Following in the footsteps of past Democratic nominees like Hillary Clinton and Al Gore, Vice President Kamala Harris could pursue a new path in writing or other interests after leaving office. Clinton authored "What Happened" after her 2016 loss, and Gore created the documentary "An Inconvenient Truth".

Taking a Break from Politics

With her vice-presidential term ending soon, Harris expressed a desire to unwind and enjoy some downtime. At a Pennsylvania bookstore in October, she joked, “I plan on putting on some pounds after this is over. They’re working me to the bone.”

Shifting Priorities

Harris may also follow Clinton’s lead, stepping back from active politics to focus more on personal interests while staying connected to her party.
