And I think right now that they\u2019re not as strong as they need to be, and I just don\u2019t want to for now. I don\u2019t want to go back in the system. I want to travel the country. I want to listen to people, and I don\u2019t want it to be transactional, where I\u2019m asking for their vote.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tHarris announced on Wednesday that she would not run, saying that she would not enter elective politics for now. Her statement did not rule out a 2028 presidential run. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tColbert asked, \u201cTo hear you say that it\u2019s broken, to hear you say that our systems aren\u2019t strong enough, is harrowing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tHarris responded, \u201cBut it\u2019s also evident, isn\u2019t it?
