The American host added: "If anyone would like to work on my campaign, in an unofficial capacity, please just let me know." Taking one last shot of vodka, Colbert toasted, "A strong America, a strong Russia!" Urgant also made a toast, saying, "I'd like to make a toast to the beautiful country of the USA, which invented the Internet. Thanks to it, we can meddle with US elections." He went on to support Colbert's potential presidential run: "To you, Stephen! Good luck! We'll do everything possible to make sure you get elected."

My comment: the problem is, Colbert's got no chance against Putin in the Russian elections - and it'll be mid-term anyway, so double uphill battle.

he wouldnt run against putin, he'd run against trump. that is what he is saying here.
