“The Young Turks” co-host Ana Kasparian erupted on air Thursday evening when the show’s co-founder, Cenk Uygur predicted Vice President Kamala Harris would win the California governorship in a “cakewalk” if she ran to succeed Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Harris lost the 2024 election after former President Donald Trump secured the 270 electoral votes necessary to win the presidency early in the morning of Nov. 6, while also winning the popular vote after making substantial gains among both black and Hispanic voters in pre-election polling. Kasparian cut Uygur off when he suggested Harris would be a shoo-in for California governor, citing Democratic voters’ willingness to vote for any candidate that’s put in front of them.

“I think Kamala Harris would probably run in a cakewalk for governor,” Uygur said, prompting Kasparian to shout “No! No! What are you doing?! What are you doing!?”
