Stephen Colbert, whose ratings are dropping faster than Biden’s approval numbers, probably wasn’t ready for this one. In what was supposed to be a cozy, promotional puff piece for Kamala Harris’s new book—because of course she wrote a book after losing by a landslide—things took a turn that even the canned laughter couldn’t cover. When asked if she was eyeing another run for president in 2028, Harris gave an answer so bleak it made Eeyore sound like a motivational speaker.
No soaring rhetoric. No bold plans. Just a tepid, mopey lament about how the “system is broken.” Yes, the same “system” that handed her the 2024 nomination on a silver platter after the DNC shoved Biden out of the way like yesterday’s meatloaf. The same system she happily used to leapfrog over actual candidates with voter support. Now it’s broken?
In the MOST amount of words possible, Kamala Harris admits President Trump BROKE her, which is why she doesn’t want to run for Governor of California
“The system’s broken… so I don’t wanna go back into the system.”
She just GAVE UP

That’s rich.
She wasn’t talking about systemic reform or the erosion of trust in government—no, this was Kamala’s way of quietly ghosting a political landscape that has pretty much ghosted her. And to do it on Colbert’s show, surrounded by a crowd trained to applaud on command, was just the icing on the stale, tasteless cake.
Colbert tried to gently nudge her back into the game. Maybe she’d run for another office? Something else? Something smaller? Anything to keep this from turning into a political wake? Nope. She didn’t even flinch. “I just… don’t want to go back in the system,” she said, staring into the void like someone who just realized nobody’s buying what she’s selling anymore.
For someone who supposedly stood for “saving democracy,” she sure abandoned the idea fast. Maybe it’s because her version of “saving democracy” involved burning the bridge to the Democratic base and bulldozing over the primary process to get what she wanted. And now that the voters responded with a collective “nah,” suddenly democracy’s too fragile to fight for?
Please.
Let’s rewind a bit. Kamala didn’t just lose. She was obliterated. We’re talking zero primary wins, a vanishing act in every major battleground state, and a popular vote defeat so massive you could almost hear the DNC’s emergency exit signs lighting up. She didn’t fall short—she cratered. Now she’s retreating under the pretense of principled disillusionment. Sure. Totally believable.
But the real kicker came when Colbert asked who should lead the party next. You’d think someone with all this time to reflect—who claims to still be “in the fight”—might have a name or two. Nope. She dodged harder than Hunter Biden at a deposition. “There are lots of leaders,” she offered vaguely, before diving headfirst into a lukewarm word salad about collective responsibility.
Kamala Harris is unable to name who she thinks the leader of Democrat party is. News flash. There isn’t one

Translation: she’s got nothing. No plan. No vision. No names. No clue.
It was a masterclass in political non-answers. If you’re wondering whether anyone left in the Democratic Party has a spine or even a mildly coherent plan going forward, Harris’s performance made one thing painfully clear: don’t hold your breath.
Two losers who were both canceled by the American People.

Kamala Harris, who blew over $1.5 Billion on her failed Presidential Campaign is on the Stephen Colbert Show, which loses $50 Million a year!Meanwhile, Colbert, who once pretended to be a satirical firebrand but now spends his evenings gently stroking Democrat egos, actually called her “very qualified” for the presidency. That’s a bold statement for someone who just admitted she’s quitting because the system doesn’t work. Isn’t resilience sort of a baseline qualification for the top job? If you’re tapping out now, what exactly are you qualified for?
But hey, she’s got a book to sell. “107 Days,” her firsthand account of the palace coup that shoved Biden out and briefly elevated her to a position she couldn’t hold onto if her life depended on it. It’s billed as her “unique perspective” on saving democracy—which is hilarious coming from someone who helped tear it apart from the inside, only to now claim she’s too disillusioned to try again.
Kamala Harris walked into the Colbert show to spin her loss as a noble retreat. Instead, she confirmed what most people already knew: there’s no there there. And if this sad, slow fade is the best the Democrats can do, 2028 is going to be a long year for them.
