Kamala Harris complains ‘the system’ is ‘broken’ in Stephen Colbert interview after spending $1B on failed presidential campaign – suggests she won’t run in 2028

Former Vice President Kamala Harris bemoaned Thursday in an interview with soon-to-be axed lefty talk show host Stephen Colbert that the American political system is “broken” and suggested she wouldn’t embark on a third White House run after her landslide loss to President Trump.

Harris, who announced Wednesday that she wouldn’t be running for California governor in 2026, was asked by “The Late Show” host – in her first post-election interview – if she was perhaps interested in a “different office.”

“No … it’s perhaps more basic than that,” Harris responded.

“Recently I made the decision that I just, for now, I don’t want to go back in the system. I think it’s broken,” she explained.

Harris, 60, lost the popular vote, the Electoral College and every swing state to Trump last November, despite raising more than $1 billion for her ill-fated campaign.

“I always believed that as fragile as our democracy is, our systems would be strong enough to defend our most fundamental principles. And I think, right now, that they’re not as strong as they need to be. And I just don’t want to, for now — I don’t want to go back in the system,” the former vice president continued.

“I want to travel the country. I want to listen to people. I want to talk with people. And I don’t want it to be transactional, where I’m asking for their vote,” Harris added.

Colbert — a Biden-Harris supporter who moderated a campaign fundraiser for former President Joe Biden before he dropped out of the race — appeared stunned by Harris’ reluctance to get back into politics.

“It’s harrowing,” the lame-duck talk-show host said of Harris’ gloomy view of the state of democracy.

It ‘was’ broken... Now it’s being fixed.

It sounds like “listening tour.” No one does that except someone hoping to run again.

One of our most fundamental principles being that we are not a democracy. I'd say clueless as ever for Harris, but I think more than a few of these RATS know it but also know that they need the mob of a democracy to rule the way they want and have come closer than we'd like to making it happen.

The system is fine. What’s broken are the mirrors she looks into.

Watching Colbert burn down everything he can on his way out is going to be a beautiful thing.

How much of the $1 billion did she squirrel away in an offshore bank account?

Our republican form of governance has been going for more than 200 years, not fragile.

democracy isn’t totally broken if $2 billion doesn’t buy victory - and voters can still flood the zone to throw the Bums out.
