British journalist Piers Morgan and “The Young Turks” co-host Ana Kasparian called out Vice President Kamala Harris’ first response video since losing the election to President-elect Donald Trump, noting how “broken” she appeared.
Throughout Harris’ campaign, the vice president and her spokespeople often touted how Harris could be the official to bring joy to Americans. On “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” the British journalist played a clip of Harris’ nearly 10-minute thank you to voters, encouraging supporters to “never let anybody take your power.”
“She just looked like a broken woman to me. This was a woman who was selling us joy, who looked utterly miserable, still talking in a kind of generalized word salad way. Also talking nonsense, because of course the Democrats took a massive drubbing, and it’s on her watch. So of course, they’re all going to feel not as confident and strong as they were before,” Morgan said. “They need a radical rethink, I think, the Democrats, but it was kind of sad, wasn’t it, that video?”
Kasparian responded to Morgan’s remarks.
“I thought it was kind of funny. Like, I see myself as a 22 year old at three in the morning at a bar talking to a best friend,” Kasparian said. “That’s what I sound like, ‘Don’t let anybody take your power away from you.’ But putting that aside, there’s a part of me that feels a little bad for Kamala Harris, because I do feel that she was basically set up to lose, right? I mean, you have Joe Biden coming out of the gate saying that he’s going to tap a black woman for his VP.”
Kasparian went on to say that President Joe Biden’s choice of picking a “token” based on race set up Harris for her loss. She also called out Biden and Harris campaign advisors who said during a podcast that they had no backup plan after the president dropped his re-election bid.

“When you do that, what it signals to the rest of the country is that you’re gonna pick a token to make a point,” Kasparian said. “It’s not based on merit. I think that’s an issue, and it doesn’t look good. But then on top of that, really, the person who deserves a great deal of blame, actually, the people who deserve a great deal of blame is Joe Biden.”
“[He] refused to drop out of the race, decided to run for a second term, even though he had promised not to run for a second term. And all of the campaign officials surrounding him, who, by the way, just yesterday on ‘Pod Save America,’ admitted that after Biden had that disastrous debate performance, they didn’t have a plan B,” Kasparian said. “They didn’t engage in a plan B. The only thing they were hyper focused on was keeping Biden in the race. How irresponsible is that?”
“The Young Turks” co-host concluded by questioning how the campaign advisers could be comfortable with Biden leading the country for another four years, despite his “level of cognitive decline,” stating that the party has “lost its credibility, entirely.”
Following Biden’s withdrawal from the race and his endorsement of Harris on July 21, the vice president was repeatedly pressed on her flip-flopping of left-wing policies she had promoted prior to 2020, as well as her reported avoidance of sitting with corporate media for an in-depth interview on the issues. However, despite losing both the Electoral College and the popular vote, some Democratic pundits appeared confused as to how the vice president could have lost to Trump.
In a recent CBS/YouGov poll, 59% of voters approved of how Trump is handling the transition of power.
