Vice President Harris on Tuesday cracked open a Miller High Life with “The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert, then criticized former President Trump and joked that happens when she drinks beer.
Colbert and Harris both drank from cans and talked about music and the preview election, according to an early transcript released to reporters. The interview is set to air on CBS at 11:35 p.m.
Colbert asked Harris if Trump had lost the 2020 election, and the vice president mentioned her rallies.
“Quite a few people show up by the way,” Harris said and then listed Trump’s various losses, describing him as a “loser.”
“This is what happens when I drink beer,” she said, jokingly.
The late-night host also asked Harris about her favorite song by Bob Seger, and she replied, “Aretha or Eminem?”
Trump and President Biden both don’t drink alcohol.
The beer drinking occurred towards the end of the interview after Colbert asked Harris about accusations against Trump in journalist Bob Woodward’s new book. Harris earlier on Tuesday hit Trump over a report that he sent COVID tests to Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2020 after Trump’s campaign denied the story.
They also discussed the anniversary of Oct. 7, Hurricane Helene and the incoming Hurricane Milton, and her debate performance against Trump last month.
Colbert mentioned a moment during the debate when Harris rested her chin on her hand while Trump spoke, asking the vice president what she was thinking in that moment.
It’s family TV, right? It starts with a W, there’s a letter between it, then the last letter’s F,” she replied.
Harris has been on a media blitz this week. Before she filmed the interview with Colbert in New York City, she sat down for interviews with ABC’s “The View” and Sirius XM’s Howard Stern.
