CBS’s Stephen Colbert once again turned The Late Show into The Late DNC Show on Tuesday as he invited Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman to the program to beg reluctant voters to pick Kamala Harris in two weeks.
With the context that Fetterman’s career began with a one-vote mayoral victory, Colbert opened up the floor, “Do you have anything to say to the people out there who might be feeling a little weary of politics and are thinking about staying home and not voting at all?”
Fetterman urged, “Quite literally, I wouldn't have the honor of sitting in this chair next to you if one single person stayed home that day in May of 2005 and I won by one literal vote and if that didn't happen, the chain was broken and I never would've have had the career. I wouldn't be that Pennsylvania senator and I wouldn't be able to make sure that Kamala Harris is going to be our next president, going across Pennsylvania to make sure that happens.”
