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.

None…the campaign was 20 million in the red after the election. Hence the 10 million book deal.
Indeed. The broken system needed to be broken.
GO TRUMP!
I VOTED FOR THIS!
The 2 should start touring together. The “Loser’s” Tour. Sponsored by Bud Light and Jaguar motor cars
BTTT
I don’t understand what she’s talking about.
How is the system broken?
We had an election, and another candidate won. She lost.
In every election, from president all the way down to local city council or school board elections, there is a winning candidate, and there is a losing candidate.
How is the system broken?
And we have been lectured so much by democrats, about how we must respect the results of elections.
We all respect the results of 2024.
I just don’t understand what she’s complaining about.
She's right. In a proper functioning system, a stupid, obnoxious, idiot, bitch like her would have never gotten so far.
If “the system is broken”, why the hell is she still hanging out in DC? The government in her home of Jamaica could really use her expertise to straighten that joint out.
She and Hillary are turning into the kindly grandmother either. People vote for these older women politicians like Jeanne Shaheen or others because they are the kindly grandmother type. Eventually they turn into Diane Fienstein and its time to put grandma in the home. Fortunately, for us in NH Shaheen is not running for reelection to the US Senate next year.
Sorry, I guess I need to PROOF READ before I hit the POST button.
I meant to say the Kamala and Hillary are NOT turning into the kindly grandmother types.
“Kamala Harris complains ‘the system’ is ‘broken’”
Kamala added: “I coulda been a contenda.”
Not French nor Italian,but Black
Kamela uses Black dressing on her word salad.
You mean like when someone can become the nominee for a major political party without a single vote in favor of them?
Kamala Harris complains ‘the system’ is ‘broken’.
She proved it she got elected.
Why do you think the campaign was in the red?
Bingo. Kamala was nothing but a DEI hire during her public life. She started out as the mistress of powerful politician. Now she’s old and pudgy. Time to retire her out to pasture. Democrats always say the system is broken when things don’t go their way.
The Dem’s election stealing and crooked funding system failed, and she doesn’t know how to put it together again. USAID, busted. ActBlue, busted. DoJ civil rights cases and “Consent Decrees” that funneled hundreds of million$ to leftists and racial groups, busted. Illegal immigration deluge, busted. Yep, the system is broken.
Bad $$ decisions like Bruce Springsteen and Beyonce, just for a couple.
Yes yes. Whenever the RATs lose an election the system is broken. Or the messaging wasn’t getting through.
F*** off RATs.
I wonder what the true cost would be if the media agitprop was factored in. 100% Trump negative, 100% Commala positive. That must have been worth hundreds of billions.
