MSNBC’s Alex Wagner joined CBS’s Stephen Colbert for Wednesday’s taping of The Late Show and somehow managed to claim that President Joe Biden dropping out of the presidential race was the high the country needed after the low of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. Wagner also managed to heap copious amounts of praise on the “joyful” personalities of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

Speaking of Harris, in their second segment, Colbert asked, “What do you think is different about 2020 Kamala Harris and 2024?”
Wagner continued with one of the media’s favorite themes, “One is she has clearly gained a lot of confidence as the vice president and I see that most acutely, most tangibly, in her joy. Like, I always knew she was a really joyful, funny person… And what you see now is someone who is embracing her own joy. Now, that also happens to be a fantastic strategy, as Trump is out there as the horseman of the apocalypse. The Walz-Harris ticket is full of optimism and joy, and that's a great strategy, but it's also who she is, and it's really, I think, quite lovely to see a woman having fun in politics.”
