Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris took aim at her Republican opponent Donald Trump during her appearance on The Howard Stern Show, which is popular among many listeners, particularly white men in the U.S. This interview is part of a series she’s been doing, including appearances on The View, the podcast Call Her Daddy, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
During the interview, Harris criticized Trump for saying he would be a “dictator on day one” if re-elected. She labeled him a “sore loser” for alleging voter fraud following his 2020 election defeat. She emphasized the dangers of dictatorship, saying, “Understand what dictators do. They jail journalists and put protesters in jail.” Harris also discussed the tension between Trump and Stern. Trump had claimed that Stern “went woke,” to which Stern responded that he views being “woke” as a compliment, stating, “The opposite of being woke is being asleep.”
When Stern asked if she believed some Americans would refuse to vote for a woman, Harris replied confidently. “I’ve been the first woman in almost every position I’ve had. I believe that men and women support women in leadership, and that’s been my life experience. That’s why I’m running for president.” In a notable moment, Stern revealed his intention to vote for Harris. Additionally, she showcased a fun side on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert by opening a can of beer with the host, further highlighting her approachable personality.
