Former Vice President Kamala Harris said she would not run for public office because the system is “broken,” as she reflected on her decision not to pursue a gubernatorial run in California and spoke about what she views as “capitulation” by those tasked with guarding democracy during Donald Trump’s second administration.

During a news conference on Thursday, Trump was asked to weigh in on Harris’ announcement the day prior that she won’t be running for governor of California in 2026. She told “The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert this week that she wasn’t ready just yet to go “back in the system,” which she said she thinks is broken.
