Kamala Harris has said that she currently has no desire to re-enter “the system” of American politics because it is “broken”.

On Thursday night the Democratic party’s defeated presidential nominee, who replaced Joe Biden late in the 2024 campaign after he dropped his re-election bid, gave her first interview since losing the election to Donald Trump, talking to Stephen Colbert on The Late Show.

After she announced she will not run for the governorship of California just a day earlier, Harris told the TV show that it was about something more “basic” than whether she wanted to run for something else instead – with the subtext being whether she will attempt a White House run again in 2028.

    When did she ever claim she intended to fix anything? She openly said she couldn’t think of anything she’d do differently from Biden.

      She openly said she couldn’t think of anything she’d do differently from Biden.

      And followed it up by promising to appoint a republican to her cabinet.

      As the candidate who lost the election, she’s literally the only person who had the power to issue a recount.

      She failed in that responsibility. Despite the 2016 election interference, and Jan 6th. Trump has never had a fair election, and she chose to ignore that in favor of respect?

      Please. Respect is earned. Not given. Especially when the protection of our democracy comes with it.

      Any reasonable, spine-having American would have challenged the results immediately rather that talk about how broken shit got because they failed in their ultimate responsibility as an American.
