During her Thursday night appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert , Kamala Harris explained her decision to not run for California governor next year, and her plan to steer clear from politics for now.

“Listen, I am a devout public servant. I have spent my entire career in service of the people. I thought a lot about running for governor. I love my state, I love California,” the former vice president said. “Recently I made the decision that I just, for now, I don’t wanna go back in the system. I think it’s broken.”

Harris continued that while she “always believed that as fragile as our democracy is, our systems would be strong enough to defend our most fundamental principles, and I think right now that they’re not as strong as they need to be.”
