She will now appear on the ABC show on Tuesday June 4.

If she makes it this time, it would be her second appearance on the show, having previously appeared in March 2019 when she was running for top office.

Last year, Harris appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and in 2022 made her first late-night appearance since becoming VP on Late Night with Seth Meyers, where she talked up her administration’s plans to fight climate change, restore abortion rights and pardon people with federal convictions for marijuana possession.

Harris is now out on the campaign trail ahead of the Presidential Election later this year. She has been trying to shore up support for President Biden with women among other constituencies. Harris recently addressed U.S. Air Force Academy graduates in Colorado.

The news comes days after another former late-night host, Charlamagne Tha God said that the White House had “handcuffed” Harris. Asked on Fox News why he thinks that, he said, “Because I know her, and I know what she stands for. And I know the things that she wants to do that she may not necessarily be in a position to do because she doesn’t want to overstep the president.”

Jimmy Kimmel Live! is currently in its 22nd season. Broadcasting from the El Capitan Entertainment Centre on Hollywood Boulevard, it is exec produced by Kimmel, Erin Irwin, Molly McNearney, Jennifer Sharron and David Craig. It is produced by 12:05 AM Productions in association with Kimmelot and ABC Signature.
