Stephen Colbert's Show Canceled: Kamala Harris Takes Over After Trump Lawsuit Fallout
KAMALA HARRIS' POST-ELECTION EXCLUSIVE: SHE SETS THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON HER WILDCARD CAMPAIGN AND ALLEGED BIAS IN THE MEDIA
The wait is finally over, folks! Kamala Harris has broken her silence on the most scandalous presidential campaign in recent history, and she's not holding back. In an explosive exclusive interview with Stephen Colbert on "The Late Show", Harris dished out the dirt on everything from her infamous 60 Minutes appearance to the $20 billion lawsuit that had everyone buzzing.
As we reported earlier this month, CBS and Paramount settled a whopping $16 million lawsuit brought by none other than Donald Trump himself. The President alleged that the network's 60 Minutes interview with then-campaigning Harris was biased, but it seems like the company just wanted to avoid any more drama. After all, getting approval for their massive merger with Skydance was a top priority - and now, Paramount can finally breathe easy.
But what about Kamala? The California Democrat has been keeping mum on her whirlwind presidential run, which ended in a heart-wrenching loss against the incumbent President. Now that she's written a tell-all memoir, 107 Days: A Journey Through America, we're getting a behind-the-scenes look at her time on the campaign trail.
Harris revealed in a video statement that she was "reflecting" on her experiences and wanted to share what she learned with the world. "Just over a year ago, I launched my campaign for President of the United States," she said, "One hundred-and-seven days traveling the country, fighting for our future—the shortest presidential campaign in modern history."
And let's be real - it was a wild ride. Harris spoke about the book in her statement: "Since leaving office, I've spent a lot of time reflecting on those days and with candor and reflection, I've written a behind-the-scenes account of that journey." We can't wait to get our hands on this juicy tome!
But what's next for Kamala? After months of rumors about a potential gubernatorial run in her home state of California, Harris made the bombshell announcement last week: she's out. "Over the past six months, I have spent time reflecting on this moment in our nation’s history and the best way for me to continue fighting for the American people and advancing the values and ideals I hold dear," she said in a written statement.
We're talking about some serious heavy-hitters here - Harris has had a storied career as the district attorney of San Francisco, the Attorney General of California, and even a presidential hopeful (twice!). She's been chosen by President Biden himself to be his running mate after her disastrous debate performance.
Now that she's off the campaign trail, we're wondering: what's next for Kamala Harris? Will she take on another role in politics or try something entirely new? We can't wait to find out!
And just to spice things up even further...
Stephen Colbert has always been one of the most scathing late-night hosts when it comes to the Trump administration - and this interview is no exception. In a series of tweets before Harris' appearance on his show, he roasted President Trump for his ridiculous $20 billion lawsuit against CBS.
"This is what we call a 'big, fat bribe'!" Colbert tweeted. "And it worked! The President gets paid out the nose, and CBS gets to merge with Skydance - what a sweet deal!"
Colbert's comments didn't go unnoticed, of course. His show has been losing millions each year (yep, you read that right), but hey, at least he's not afraid to speak truth to power.
We can't wait for this explosive interview to air on Thursday night! Who else is tuning in?
