In a revealing—and awkward—appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, former Vice President Kamala Harris tried to explain away her failed 2024 presidential run. But instead of offering a clear message, Harris delivered a confusing mix of contradictions, vague praise for her campaign team, and a shameless plug for her upcoming book, 107 Days.
When asked what she would’ve done differently, Harris offered no specifics—just a canned response.
“There are things I would do differently, and again, read the book,” she told Colbert, before launching into a long, unfocused tribute to her campaign staff.
Harris claimed her team “left it all on the field” and insisted she had no regrets. Yet moments earlier, she admitted there were things she’d change. The back-and-forth left viewers wondering: is Kamala Harris simply unwilling to take responsibility, or is she rewriting history?
For many Americans—especially older, patriotic voters tired of political doublespeak—this interview was more of the same from a politician known for ducking accountability.
Kamala Dodges the Real Questions About Biden
The conversation turned to Joe Biden’s disastrous 2024 debate performance—a moment that left many Democrats in panic mode and raised serious questions about who was really in charge.
When Colbert asked Harris when she realized she might need to step in as the Democrat nominee, she dodged again:
“Let me say something about Joe Biden,” Harris began. “I have an incredible amount of respect for him… he believed in the rule of law… and that’s where I’ll leave that.”
That’s where she left it, alright—offering no clarity, no plan, and no reassurance to voters who saw Biden’s debate as a national embarrassment.
While Harris admitted that some in her circle were encouraging her to be ready, she didn’t offer any meaningful details. And after Biden officially bowed out last July, Harris coasted into the nomination with no competition—raising even more concerns about how Democratic Party elites shut down dissent and fast-tracked a deeply unpopular candidate.
Harris’s Political Theater Can’t Erase 2024
Despite the spin, Harris’s record speaks for itself. Her campaign failed to energize voters, struggled to connect with working Americans, and fell flat in battleground states that President Donald Trump won handily.
Older voters remember a time when political leaders stood for law, order, and personal responsibility. What they see in Kamala Harris is a politician more interested in book deals, talk show appearances, and empty platitudes than real solutions.
Meanwhile, Trump continues to rally millions of Americans who are fed up with weak leadership, open borders, rising crime, and global chaos. Harris’s appearance only reminded viewers of why they rejected the Biden-Harris agenda in the first place.
As Harris promotes her memoir and dodges real questions, one thing is clear: she underestimated Trump—and she’s still paying for it.
