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.

Exactly. She has no idea that she was part of the problem. Then again, they never do.
The word salad was horrible.
FRiend, I have NEVER thought of Fauxcohontas as the “friendly grandmother” type. Lol
She would run if she could get funding donors won’t give her a nickel not today, not tomorrow, not EVER!!!
She’s right.
“The system” she relied on is broken. We broke it.
And it’s not coming back.
No, she’s broken.
Actually, I didn’t mean to infer that the US Senator from the Commonwealth of Massachusettes was a “kindly grandmother”.
I was referring to Jeanne Shaheen.
Or as they call her here Jean Jean the taxing machine
“Broke” certainly describes the Democrat party after she got through with it. If she means, “the System is broken if $1.2 billion couldn’t buy me the election” then that system is better off gone.
I agree, it’s just that Warren also popped first in my head.
