Late-night host Stephen Colbert threw former Vice President Kamala Harris a series of softball questions in her first interview since the 2024 election.
Appearing on The Late Show to promote her new book, 107 Days, which chronicles her short election campaign against Donald Trump, Kamala Harris expressed shock over the apparent lack of opposition to the triumphant Republican president.
“I believed that on some level, there should be many who consider themselves to be guardians of our system and our democracy, who just capitulated,” she told Colbert.
Kamala Harris suggested that both Democrats and Republicans in Congress have chosen to be “feckless,” seemingly unaware the GOP now controls all three branches of government.
“I mean, you see that the president of the United States is trying to get rid of the Department of Education, and Congress has the role and responsibility to stand in the way of that, and they’re just sitting on their hands, and then they go on recess because they don’t want to deal with transparency,” she said.
