Kamala Harris and Stephen Colbert: A Casual Chat Over Beers

Vice President Kamala Harris made an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where they shared a beer and talked about politics in a relaxed way. The conversation started with a joke about Donald Trump and 60 Minutes. Colbert then offered Harris a Miller High Life beer, saying that elections are won by connecting with voters. Harris agreed, mentioning her last beer at a baseball game with her husband, Doug Emhoff. The talk turned serious when Harris discussed Trump's admiration for dictators and his cozy relationship with leaders like Vladimir Putin. She also addressed a recent book by Bob Woodward, which revealed that Trump sent Covid tests to Russia early in the pandemic. Harris was critical of this, saying that the U.S. should stand with its allies and prioritize its own people.

Colbert brought up the issue of misinformation, such as fake images of Trump helping with hurricane relief. Harris urged people to listen to local officials and criticized politicians who spread lies. The conversation ended on a lighter note, with Harris mentioning her preference for Aretha Franklin and Eminem over Bob Seger. Earlier in the day, Harris appeared on ABC's The View to discuss expanding Medicare for at-home care. Her media tour also included interviews on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM show and the Call Her Daddy podcast, where she talked about reproductive rights.
