Kamala Harris to Make First Post-Election Appearance on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' this Evening after Falling Short in the 2024 Vote
Kamala Harris, the former Vice President of the United States, is set to make her return to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert tonight (July 31). This marks Harris's first appearance on the show since her late-night debut in October 2024.
During this interview, Harris will be promoting her newly announced book titled 107 Days. The memoir recounts her abbreviated 2024 presidential campaign after President Biden's withdrawal from the race and her subsequent loss to former President Donald Trump.
The interview comes amid speculation about Harris’ political future, including her recent announcement that she will not run for California governor in 2026, fueling rumors of a possible 2028 presidential run. The conversation is expected to reflect Harris’ ongoing political commentary on Trump’s presidency and her future ambitions.
Interestingly, this interview takes place against the backdrop of a recent $16 million settlement between CBS, the network for The Late Show, and President Trump. The lawsuit was filed after Trump claimed that 60 Minutes, also on CBS, deceptively edited its interview with Harris to favor the Democratic party during the 2024 election.
Despite the settlement, the cancellation of The Late Show did not affect its airing on CBS or its availability on Paramount+. Trump, in his comments about the show's cancellation, suggested that "Jimmy Kimmel is next." Colbert, in response to the CBS settlement, criticized it as a "big fat bribe" on The Late Show.
In a previous appearance on the show, Harris criticized Trump's friendships with Vladimir Putin. However, the available information does not indicate any recent legal settlements or controversies specifically linking all three in the context of the show.
Tune in tonight to catch Harris's interview on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, airing on CBS Thursdays at 11:35 p.m. ET.
In the upcoming interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, politics will likely be a topic of discussion as former Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to share her ongoing political commentary, including her thoughts on her 2024 presidential campaign, Trump's presidency, and potential future ambitions. Meanwhile, the entertainment industry has been currently involved in a legal battle with Donald Trump, as CBS recently settled with him regarding claims of deceptive editing in a 60 Minutes interview, raising questions about the show's impartiality.
