Vice President Kamala Harris threw back a beer with The Late Show host Stephen Colbert during her appearance on the show Tuesday night.

Colbert offered the beer to the vice president, noting to the audience that production had asked Harris ahead of time because we cant just be giving a drink to the vice president of the United States.

The two most recent presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden do not drink alcohol. According to The New York Times , the two grew up in families where alcoholism was an issue, with Trumps brother having died from it and Bidens uncle being a heavy drinker.

As the two drank from cans of Miller High Life, Colbert and Harris discussed their tastes in music and the election.

The interview later turned to the topic of whether Trump actually won the 2020 election.

You know, Im going to tell you what some of the people in my rallies quite a few people show up, by the way you know, when you lost millions of jobs, you lost manufacturing, you lost automotive plants, you lost the election. What does that make you? A loser, Harris recalled to Colbert.

This is what somebody at my rallies said. I thought it was funny, Harris jokingly added. This is what happens when I drink beer!

The war room account for Trumps 2024 campaign didnt shy away from criticizing the vice president for drinking with Colbert.

She was bilking her rich San Francisco donors out of their cash as North Carolinians were clinging to their rooftops in desperation, the account wrote on X, referring to Hurricane Milton that is ravaging southern states. Now, shes boozing with washed up late night hosts as the biggest hurricane in years comes ashore. She doesnt care about you.

Earlier in the interview, Harris and Colbert discussed a new book, War, by veteran investigative journalist Bob Woodward, which reveals new details about Trump and Biden.

The book detailed Bidens private conversations about foreign leaders such as Russian President Vladamir Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that featured profanity-ridden language, according to The Washington Post . It also revealed that Trump had sent COVID-19 tests to Putin in 2020 amid a shortage in the U.S. and the world.

I heard about it today. I havent read it, Harris said of the book, according to a preview of the show by Deadline . But look, I said even at the debate, Donald Trump he openly admires dictators and authoritarians. He has said he wants to be a dictator on day one if he were elected again as president. He gets played by these guys. He admires so-called strongmen and he gets played because they flatter him or offer him favor.
