上帝说，总统乔·拜登退出2024年的竞选，副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯取代他成为最热门的候选人，这使得美国人比“很长时间”都更“在民主党内充满活力”
“哦，民主党候选人名单上肯定有很多主要人物的能量，”查理曼告诉《本周》的联合主持人乔纳森·卡尔。“我们知道卡玛拉·哈里斯是谁。像她有超级主角能量。”

今年二月，卡尔第一次采访了电台名人查理曼，又名伦纳德·麦克维。当时，查理曼对拜登的候选资格持批评态度，称他“缺乏灵感”，并敦促他退出竞选。
查理曼是iHeart电台“早餐俱乐部”的主持人之一，他周日告诉卡尔，现在选民的冷漠有所减少，但“如果我是民主党人，我还不会扣球。”
“工作还没有完成，”他说。“你知道，你还是得在11月把这个东西带回家。”
自拜登退出2024年竞选以来的三周内，哈里斯竞选团队以闪电般的速度动员起来。但哈里斯正面临批评，因为他还没有举行正式的新闻发布会，也没有接受当地或全国媒体的采访。
“她确实需要做更多的采访，”查理曼在“本周”节目中说
“令人惊讶的是，我们真的还没有看到她回答问题，”卡尔说。
"我是说，现在是第九局的下半局，对吗?"查理曼回答道。“就像，我觉得她应该在任何地方，你知道，进行这些对话。”
查理曼告诉卡尔，哈里斯应该学习前总统唐纳德·特朗普的剧本，因为他“无处不在”。
Charlamagne说:“他(特朗普)总是打电话给保守派脱口秀，这是我对民主党最大的问题之一。”“他们不会像右派使用支持他们的媒体那样使用支持他们的媒体。”
7月底，特朗普在芝加哥全国黑人记者协会年会上的采访占据了头条新闻他错误地质疑了哈里斯的种族.
“你如何看待她回应他关于她‘只是变黑了’的评论?””卡尔问查理大帝。
“我甚至不认为她应该回应，”查理曼说。"我认为她不应该对此做出回应。"
哈里斯上周宣布明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·瓦尔兹为她的竞选伙伴也面临着以她的种族为中心的批评一些共和党人声称她是“DEI雇员”
Charlamagne说，如果哈里斯-Walz候选人名单上的任何人是“DEI雇员”，那不是哈里斯，她是第一位黑人妇女和亚裔美国人，都是主要政党的提名人。她是第二位名列榜首的女性。
“我们知道她需要一个DEI雇员，”Charlamagne说。“她需要一个白人男性来让美国感到舒适。事情就是这样。我们没必要，你知道，表现得这么疯狂。我们知道它是什么。”
Charlamagne tha God says Kamala Harris has 'super main character energy' but needs to 'do more interviews'
Charlamagne tha God says President Joe Biden's exit from the 2024 race and Vice President Kamala Harris' replacement at the top of the ticket has Americans more "energized in the Democratic Party" than they've been "in a long time."
"Oh, there's definitely a lot of main character energy on the Democratic ticket," Charlamagne told "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl. "We know who Kamala Harris is. Like she has super main character energy."

Karl first sat down with radio personality Charlamagne, also known as Lenard McKelvey, in February. At the time, Charlamagne was critical of Biden's candidacy, calling him "uninspiring" and urging him to exit the race.
Charlamagne, a co-host of iHeart Radio's "The Breakfast Club," told Karl on Sunday that there's less voter apathy now, but "if I'm the Democrats, I'm not spiking the football yet."
"The job is not done," he said. "You know, you still have to bring this thing home in November."
In the three weeks since Biden's exit from the 2024 race, the Harris campaign has mobilized at lightning speed. But Harris is facing criticism for not yet having held a formal press conference or sitting for any interviews with local or national media yet.
"She does need to do more interviews," Charlamagne said on "This Week."
"It's striking that we really haven't seen her answer questions yet," Karl said.
"I mean, it's the bottom of the ninth inning, right?” Charlamagne replied. "Like, I feel like she should be any and everywhere, you know, having these conversations."
Charlamagne told Karl that Harris should take a page from former President Donald Trump's playbook because he's "everywhere."
"He's [Trump] always calling into conservative talk radio, which is one of my biggest issues with the Democratic Party," Charlamagne said. "They don't use the media that supports them the way the right uses the media that supports them."
At the end of July, Trump dominated headlines for his interview at the National Association of Black Journalists annual convention in Chicago, wherehe falsely questioned Harris' race.
"What did you make of the way she responded to his comments about her 'just turning Black?'" Karl asked Charlamagne.
"I don't even think that she should have responded," Charlamagne said. "I don't think she should have dignified that with a response."
Harris, who announced Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate last week, hasalso faced criticism centered on her racefrom some Republicans claiming she was a "DEI hire."
Charlamagne said that if anyone on the Harris-Walz ticket is a "DEI hire," it's not Harris, who is both the first Black woman and Asian American to be a major party's nominee. She is only the second woman to be at the top of the ticket.
"We knew she needed a DEI hire," Charlamagne said. "She needed a white male to make America comfortable. It is what it is. No need for us to, you know, act crazy about it. We know what it is."
