Kamala Harris appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Thursday for her first interview since losing the election last November, where she discussed her failed presidential bid, her decision not to run for Governor of California, and her upcoming book.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Colbert fawned over Kamala throughout the entire interview, which was clearly meant to promote her upcoming memior<\/p>\n

Early in the roughly 20-minute interview, Harris said she didn\u2019t watch the news for \u201cmonths\u201d after her loss to President Trump.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cYou know, I\u2019m just not into self-mutilation,\u201d Harris said. \u201cYeah, lots of cooking shows.\u201d<\/p>\n

Later, when asked about her decision to drop her potential gubernatorial bid, Harris gave an awkward word salad response about her career and credited the \u201cbroken\u201d system.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to go back in the system,\u201c she told Colbert, contradicting her rant about how people like her need to be \u201cinside the system.\u201d Ironically, she almost admitted that she\u2019s been a career politician and part of the problem.<\/p>\n

\u201cin this moment where people have become so deflated and despondent and afraid\u2014 and afraid, that those of us who have the ability, which I do right now, not being in an office where I\u2019m campaigning for that office, to be out there and to talk with folks and remind them of their power and their importance in making a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

WATCH:<\/p>\n

\n

Colbert: <\/strong>Yesterday, you made an announcement that you\u2019re not running for the governor of California, even though, in early polling, you beat every other candidate by double digits, you said you\u2019re gonna sit this one out. Why are you sitting this out? Are you saving yourself for a different office that might be\u2014<\/p>\n

Harris: <\/strong>No, no, no, no\u2026 And honestly it\u2019s, it\u2019s more, perhaps, basic than that. I am, listen, I am a devout public servant. I have spent my entire career in service of the people, and I thought a lot about running for governor. I love my state. I love California. I\u2019ve served as elected District Attorney, Attorney General, and Senator. But to be very candid with you, I\u2014 you know, when I was a young, young in my career, I had to defend my decision to become a prosecutor with my family. And one of the points that I made is, why is it then, when we think we want to improve a system or change it, that we\u2019re always on the outside, on bended knee or trying to break down the door? Shouldn\u2019t we also be inside the system? And that has been my career, and recently, I made the decision that I just, for now, I don\u2019t want to go back in the system. I think it\u2019s broken. I think it\u2019s\u2014 there\u2019s so much. I mean, there are so many good people who are public servants, who do such good work, teachers, and firefighters, and police officers, and nurses, and scientists, scientists!<\/p>\n

And so it\u2019s not about them, but you know, I believe, and I always believed, that as fragile as our democracy is, our systems would be strong enough to defend our most fundamental principles. And I think right now that they\u2019re not as strong as they need to be, and I just don\u2019t want to\u2014 for now, I don\u2019t want to go back in the system. I want to, I want to travel the country. I want to listen to people. Listen to people. I want to talk with people, and I don\u2019t want it to be transactional, where I\u2019m asking for their vote.<\/p>\n

Colbert: <\/strong>I have to say, as someone who is very qualified for the presidency, a senator, Attorney General of California, Vice President United States, and then, and then, I\u2019m very hopeful in a dynamic presidential candidate for the 107 days that you had to run. To hear you say that it\u2019s broken, to hear you say that our systems aren\u2019t strong enough, is harrowing.<\/p>\n

Harris:\u00a0<\/strong>Well, but it\u2019s also evident, isn\u2019t it?\u2026 But it doesn\u2019t mean we give up. That\u2019s not my point. No, no, no, no, oh, absolutely not. I\u2019m always going to be part of the fight. That is not going to change. I\u2019m absolutely going to be part of the fight, but I think that we have to acknowledge and agree that, I mean, look, the power is with the people that is\u2014 that has always been the ideal and, dare I say, the strength of our nation, of America, that we believe fundamentally the power is with the people, and we the people.\u00a0And I believe right now that it is important to do what I can do from the positions that I have held and what I have seen about the world and our country, to get out there and remind everyone who needs reminding right now of their power.<\/p>\n

It is our government, it is our country, and it is important, I think, that in this moment where people have become so deflated and despondent and afraid\u2014 and afraid, that those of us who have the ability, which I do right now, not being in an office where I\u2019m campaigning for that office, to be out there and to talk with folks and remind them of their power and their importance in making a difference. I mean, I just, I just want to put a fine point on this. You can never let anybody take your power from you. You can never let anybody take your power from you, and that\u2019s what I think, for me, that\u2019s what I\u2019d like to remind folks of.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
