2020 presidential hopeful Amy Klobuchar took her campaign to the Ed Sullivan Theater in New York City Tuesday night, appearing on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
The Democratic senator from Minnesota discusses a multitude of topics with Colbert, including her role as a juror during a potential impeachment trial of president Donald Trump.
"We have a constitutional duty to do that," Klobuchar told Colbert. "I cannot think of anything more imporant right now that we have to do. Whether we're supposed to be campaigning or not, none of that matters."
Colbert asked Klobuchar about former Minnesota senator Al Franken, who resigned in December 2017. Klobuchar says Franken has never talked with her about running again for office, but says she thinks he has an opportunity to help in other places.
"I think he can come back in other ways besides running for office," Klobuchar said. "He recently helped a tribal school. The school was literally falling apart and he helped lead the effort to build a new school when he was a senator and just raised the money for the books for that school. There are ways to serve after you leave office and that's what he's doing now."
Klobuchar, who is one of nine candidates who will take the debate stage during the fifth Democratic presidential debate on November 20 in Atlanta, also discussed progressive policies and outlined her first four days in the Oval Office if elected in 2020.
