Vice President Kamala Harris, with mere days remaining in office, assured her staff she wouldn’t fade into political obscurity.

In a bold statement during a ceremonial desk-signing, Harris declared, “It is not my nature to go quietly into the night,” signaling she’s still very much in the fight, as reported by Fox News.

Gathering in her ceremonial office, Harris added her name to a desk drawer as part of a decades-old tradition, becoming the first woman to participate. Flanked by current and former staffers, the crowd erupted into chants of “MVP!” as Harris reflected on her tenure and hinted at an unfinished mission.

“And I’m not going to go through the laundry list of all of our accomplishments. We know what they are.”

“But I will tell you that everyone here has so much to be proud of, and our work is not done.” She praised the dedication of her team, stating, “We have each taken on a life and a calling that is about doing work in the service of others… knowing we can make a difference.”

As the first woman and woman of color in the vice presidency, her tenure was marred by glaring failures, from bungling pandemic responses to a complete inability to address the spiraling crises at the border and skyrocketing crime rates.

Harris’ time in office was also marked by frequent criticism for her speeches, often dismissed as “word salads” by detractors.

Harris’ ascent to the 2024 Democratic presidential nomination was equally historic. After President Biden’s abrupt withdrawal from the race, Harris stepped in to lead the ticket, only to face a bruising loss to President-elect Donald Trump.

Her campaign struggled against a backdrop of economic woes, widespread discontent with Democratic policies, and an election cycle riddled with controversy—including multiple assassination attempts against Trump.

Now, Harris’ political future is shrouded in uncertainty. Some speculate she may aim for California’s governorship in 2026, as Governor Gavin Newsom reaches his term limit.

Others wonder if she’s setting the stage for another presidential run in 2028. While Harris has remained tight-lipped about her plans, Thursday’s comments suggest she isn’t retreating from public life.
