His comments come after Harrissaid she won't runfor California governor, leaving the door open for a potential 2028 run. In an interview set to publish Aug. 2, Charlamagne told Fox News' Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of PresidentDonald Trump, that Stewart would be a "change agent coming from the outside" that would "shake things up." Stewart has been critical of Donald Trump's policies and holds progressive viewpoints. He's been a vocal advocate of improving healthcare access for veterans and first responders. He anchored Comedy Central's The Daily Show from 1999 to 2015, andlater returned as a part-time hostin 2024. "We've seen him get legislation and stuff, you know, passed before, like we know where his heart is. He'd be somebody I'd like to see really get in the race and disrupt things in 2028," Charlamagne told Lara Trump. Charlamagne, co-host of The Breakfast Club, said in an episode of his show on July 31 that he doesn't know if Harris should run again in 2028. "I definitely would like to see her write a book. I definitely would like to see her start a podcast and just build a real connection with people," he said. Harris said on July 30 that her leadership and public service "will not be in elected office" for now. Harris iscurrently writing a book, two people with knowledge of her plans said, and is expected to go on tour.
