Kamala Harris has said that she currently has no desire to re-enter “the system” of American politics because it is “broken”.

On Thursday night the Democratic party’s defeated presidential nominee, who replaced Joe Biden late in the 2024 campaign after he dropped his re-election bid, gave her first interview since losing the election to Donald Trump, talking to Stephen Colbert on The Late Show.

After she announced she will not run for the governorship of California just a day earlier, Harris told the TV show that it was about something more “basic” than whether she wanted to run for something else instead – with the subtext being whether she will attempt a White House run again in 2028.

Wanted to be president, but not willing to fight to fix the country... interesting.

Democratic party needs a straight up rebuilding, trim the fat and get some real Patriots to establish honorable American values based on mutual respect.

She never was a leader and I am glad that she has stopped trying. Make room for someone capable at fulfilling it.

Yeah this is my take. Get out of the way.
