Vice President Kamala Harris joined Stephen Colbert on The Late Show for a beer and a candid chat about the state of global politics, Donald Trump, and her whirlwind presidential campaign.

The interview kicked off with a zinger about Trump’s absence on 60 Minutes, with Colbert stating, “We invited Kamala Harris to be our guest this evening… In the interest of fairness, we also invited Donald Trump to go f— himself.”
Trending on Billboard
Colbert then asked Harris if she would join him in cracking open a Miller High Life, saying, “Elections are won on vibes. They just want somebody they can have a beer with — so would you like to have a beer with me, so I can tell people what that’s like?”
Harris replied “The last time I had a beer was at a baseball game with Doug [Emhoff],” before quipping, “The champagne of beers!”
The Democratic nominee, who has been on a media blitz to reach younger voters, didn’t hold back during her appearance on the show, especially when it came to addressing Donald Trump’s relationship with leaders such as Vladamir Putin.
“Donald Trump — he openly admires dictators and authoritarians,” Harris remarked. “He has said he wants to be a dictator on Day One if he were elected again as president. He gets played by these guys. He admires so-called strongmen, and he gets played because they flatter him or offer him favor.”
Harris also addressed new revelations from Bob Woodward’s book, where it was reported that Trump sent Covid tests to Russia in the early days of the pandemic.
“The commander-in-chief of the United States of America must stand strong and defend the principles that we hold dear. We should stand with our allies,” she declared. “We should strengthen the alliances that we have, such as NATO, which is the strongest military alliance the world has ever seen. We must stand with our friend Ukraine where Russia is attempting to change borders by force.”
“I ask everyone here and everyone who is watching: Do you remember what those days were like? You remember how many people did not have tests and were trying to scramble to get them?” Harris said.
“And this man is giving Covid test kits to Vladimir Putin? Think about what this means on top of him sending love letters to Kim Jong Un… He thinks that’s his friend. What about the American people? They should be your first friend.”
In the episode, Colbert also highlighted a recent surge of misinformation related to Hurricane Milton, a catastrophic storm threatening the West Coast of Florida, and the use of AI-generated images in political manipulation.
“One AI-generated image making the rounds shows Trump wading into floodwaters with first responders—it’s completely fake, but people are falling for it,” Colbert said, critiquing how such tactics are used to sway voters.
Meanwhile, Harris urged those affected to listen to local officials, while criticizing at politicians who “tell lies” for their gain.
“It’s crude,” she said. “Have you no empathy, man, for the suffering of other people? Have you have no sense of purpose if you purport to be a leader?”
Later in the interview, when asked about Trump’s 2020 election loss, Harris reiterated sentiments she’d heard at her rallies. “You lost manufacturing, you lost automotive plants, you lost the election. What does that make you? A loser. This is what somebody at my rallies said. I thought it was funny.”
“It’s accurate. It’s accurate,” Colbert said. Harris added, “This is what happens when I drink beer.”
In a lighter moment during the discussion, the conversation shifted to music when Colbert asked Harris about her favorite Bob Seger songs in an effort to appeal to Michigan voters. Harris responded, “I’ll go Aretha or Eminem.”
Earlier in the day, Harris also appeared on ABC’s The View, where she unveiled a plan to expand Medicare to cover at-home care for seniors. This media tour has included stops on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM Show and the Call Her Daddy podcast, where she discussed the pressing issue of reproductive rights.

Lance Bass and Michael Turchin’s twin son and daughter celebrated their third birthday in style Tuesday (Oct. 8).
In photos shared to the *NSYNC alum’s Instagram, the family of four got a jump start on the toddlers’ birthday festivities — they don’t actually turn 3 until Oct. 13 — by serving up Tile Town-themed cakes opening presents and posing in front of a wall of balloons. While daughter Violet blew out the candle on her very own Tiffany-blue cake decorated with small animals, Alexander enjoyed a custom Paw Patrol-inspired cake.
Meanwhile, Bass and the actor — who have been married since 2014 — pose with frosting on their noses and feed their little ones bits of cake. “It’s gonna be THRAYYY!!!” the “Bye Bye Bye” singer captioned the snaps on Instagram, a play on his former boy band’s 2000 smash “It’s Gonna Be Me.”
“The birthday fun is in full swing,” he added. “Tile Town, cake, and two happy toddlers—what more could you ask for?”
Trending on Billboard
Bass and Turchin welcomed Alexander and Violet via surrogate in 2021. “The baby dragons have arrived!!” the musician wrote on Instagram at the time. “I can not express how much love I feel right now. Thank you for all the kind wishes. It meant a lot. Now, how do you change a diaper??!”
The family’s wholesome party comes less than a week ahead of the presidential election, throughout which Bass has been vocal in his support for Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. In July, he filmed a video with the VP, “Hey Kamala, what are we gonna say to Donald Trump in November?”
“Bye bye bye,” she quipped in response.
A few months later, Bass appeared on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live. While on the show, the performer shared a story about Sean “Diddy” Combs, whose name has been all over the news of late as he awaits trial for charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
“It’s kinda horrible, but never kinda liked him,” Bass said on the show of Diddy, who opened for *NSYNC on the band’s 2002 tour. “The very last show in Orlando, I overheard him talking to Justin [Timberlake] being like, ‘You need to drop these… effers! You need to go solo! And I was like, ‘I don’t like you anymore Diddy.’ I’m like, ‘At my own show? What the hell?’”
The commentator has called the star a bad sport, an “elite snob” and much more over the years.

Vice President Kamala Harris confirmed that she owns a Glock and has been to the firing range during her 60 Minutes interview.
On Monday (October 7), the anticipated 60 Minutes interview with Vice President Kamala Harris aired, and included among several of the key moments was Harris speaking about being a gun owner. “It’s a hard left turn here, but you recently surprised people when you said you were a gun owner,” interviewer Bill Whitaker began, “what kind of guns do you own and why did you get them?”
“I have a Glock, and I’ve had it for quite some time,” the Democratic presidential nominee replied. “Look, Bill, my background is in law enforcement, so there you go.” Whitaker then asked her if she’s ever fired it. “Of course I have,” she said with laughter. “At a shooting range. Yes, of course I have.”
https://twitter.com/KamalaHarris/status/1843450339774574637
The topic of the vice president being a gun owner was recently raised during her chat with Oprah Winfrey in Michigan last month, where she mentioned owning a firearm. “If someone breaks into my house, they’re getting shot,” she replied, which garnered laughter from Winfrey and the audience. Harris has mentioned being a gun owner before, as she began her first campaign for the presidency while she was still a U.S. Senator back in 2019. “I own a gun for probably the reason a lot of people do — for personal safety,” she said at the time. She also supported a ban on assault rifles and mandatory gun buybacks, but her current campaign position no longer supports buybacks.
The Harris presidential campaign still advocates for red-flag laws and universal background checks. Her vice presidential pick, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, has spoken publicly about being an avid shooter. He once was viewed favorably by the National Rifle Association, but saw his rating go from an A to an F after he supported tighter gun restrictions once he became governor.
