Yahoo News Kamala Harris: Stephen Colbert and Trevor Noah joke that Biden chose VP to stop her ‘destroying’ him in future debates
Late night hosts Trevor Noah, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon have reacted to Joe Biden‘s selection of Kamala Harris as his presidential running mate.
On Tuesday (11 August), presumptive Democratic nominee Biden announced that Harris would be running for vice president alongside him in November’s election, making her the first black woman on a major political party’s ticket.
Presenting The Daily Show, Trevor Noah seemed impressed with Biden’s pick, joking: “Say what you want about Joe, but the man went black and he’s not going back.”
With Harris having initially run for the Democratic nomination against Biden, the South African comedian said he was impressed that Obama’s vice president had picked Harris after she “destroyed” him during one of the Democratic debates.
Noah added: “Part of me thinks he only picked her so she could never dust his a** in public again. This isn’t a VP pick, it’s an insurance policy.”
The US elections will take place on 3 November, with Biden and Harris going head-to-head with current president Trump and his vice president, Mike Pence.
