During a New York Times interview that quickly drew ridicule, former Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly touted herself as a “historic figure,” boasting that Congress will soon host a marble bust in her honor.
Speaking with the publication’s Shane Goldmacher, the 61-year-old failed presidential candidate refused to confirm or deny rumors she is planning another presidential campaign.
“It’s three years from nooooow,” Harris slurred in an interview with the Times conducted last month in Nashville, Tennessee. “I mean, honestly.”
She added, “I understand the focus on ’28 and all that. But there will be a marble bust of me in Congress. I am a historic figure unlike any vice president of the United States ever was.”
Instead of attempting to take the helm of the leaderless Democrat party, Harris has been on tour promoting her book, 107 Days.
“Thousands of people are coming to hear my voice. Thousands and thousands,” she told the Times. “Every place we’ve gone has been sold out.”

Breitbart report: The U.S. Senate maintains a collection of vice presidential busts, with the chamber’s rules stating that “marble busts of those who have been Vice Presidents of the United States shall be placed in the Senate wing of the Capitol from time to time, [and] that the Architect of the Capitol is authorized, subject to the advice and approval of the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, to carry into execution the object of this resolution…”
One of the busts is located in the vice president’s formal office as head of the Senate, twenty are placed in niches in the gallery walls of the Senate Chamber, and the remainder are in the second-floor corridors of the Senate wing adjacent to the chamber, according to the Architect of the Capitol’s office.
The busts of former vice presidents Joe Biden, Mike Pence, and Harris are still in progress, with the bust of Vice President JD Vance to be commissioned when he exits office.
