In a surprising but meaningful move, US Vice President Kamala Harris will officially appear on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to announce the release of a new book – rumored to contain “shocking” revelations about the political backstage in Washington. This event is receiving special attention from the US media, because the timing of the announcement could not be more sensitive: just a few months before the 2025 Presidential election.
According to sources from the program’s production team, Kamala Harris proactively contacted Colbert for an “uncensored” interview, where she will share the hidden corners that have never been published during her term as Vice President, and also her time as a Senator. What’s special is that this book is not simply a memoir, but is described as “an informal message to the next generation of American leaders.”
Initial leaks suggest that the book will cover internal conflicts within the White House, strategic debates between Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden, and the enormous pressure she faces on issues such as immigration policy, women’s rights, and foreign relations with China. Some have even speculated that the book could be the first step in Kamala Harris’s preparations to withdraw – or, conversely, announce her candidacy for president in the near future.
Stephen Colbert, known for his smart but sharp host, is considered a “deliberate choice” by Ms. Harris. The choice of an entertaining stage, rather than a formal press conference, makes the audience feel that this is not just a normal book launch, but could be a carefully calculated political message. Many observers believe that Kamala Harris is trying to rebuild her personal image, when her approval rating in 2024 fell to its lowest level since taking office.
However, less than an hour after the news was released, social networks Twitter (now X) and Threads began to stir with a series of mixed opinions. Some Harris supporters considered this a “smart media push”, while opponents said that she was using the book to “whitewash” her failures during her term. In any case, her appearance on The Late Show will certainly attract millions of views – not only because of the name Kamala Harris, but also because of her promise to “tell the truth, without shying away.”
Currently, the specific content of the book is still unclear, the official title has not been announced. The only thing confirmed is that the interview will air in prime time next week and the book will be available in bookstores in early September. The US media has called this “the most anticipated book of the fall”, and if the rumors are true, it could shake up the already tense political atmosphere in the United States.
