Kamala Harris leaned on the old adage Tuesday night that you want to pick someone to have a beer with — and she did just that with Stephen Colbert.
The vice president spoke with Colbert on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” and the two discussed her campaign to become the next president of the United States with less than a month left in her race against Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Colbert kicked things off, pointing out that since Kamala named Tim Walz vice president, everyone has been calling it the “vibe election.”
He said he thinks elections are won by emotion because people want to elect someone they can relate to and have a beer with and ask if Kamala would like to have a brewski with them.
Kamala nodded and smiled as Colbert grabbed two cans of “Miller High Life” – he gave her one while keeping the other for himself. Kamala and Colbert opened their beers and toasted before each took a sip.
Colbert made it clear that Miller was produced in the swing state of Wisconsin – and Kamala emphasized that it was the champagne of beers.
Colbert then turned to Pennsylvania, another swing state, and asked Kamala to choose between the Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers without angering their fans.
Instead, Kamala chose the San Francisco 49ers, bursting into her famous cackle and explaining that no one would get mad at her for picking her hometown team. Kamala, as you know, is from SF.
We’ll see in November if Kamala is right.
