Kamala Harris Slams 'Broken' System, Denounces Trump's 'Capitulation' Policies

Former Vice President Kamala Harris expressed her decision not to seek public office, stating the system is “broken.” In a recent interview on CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, she shared her reflections on her public service career and noted that genuine change must occur from within institutions, though she currently prefers to remain outside them. Harris, who recently announced she wouldn’t run for California governor, lamented the “capitulation” by those meant to safeguard democracy during Donald Trump’s second term in office. She believed that many guardians of democracy have surrendered to challenges, indicating her disappointment with Congress for failing to counteract Trump’s agenda. Furthermore, as she prepares to release her book, "107 Days," Harris emphasized the importance of connecting with the public during this tumultuous period, stating that it’s vital for those who can to remind citizens of their power and collective responsibility.
