In a moment that perfectly captured the Democrat Party’s current identity crisis, former Vice President Kamala Harris floundered in a softball interview with liberal late-night host Stephen Colbert, unable — or unwilling — to name a single person leading her party.
The clip, now circulating widely online, shows Harris twisting herself into verbal knots after Colbert asked a straightforward question: *“Who’s the leader of the Democratic Party?”*
Rather than give a clear answer — Pete Buttigieg? Gavin Newsom? Chuck Schumer? Hakeem Jeffries? — Harris deflected, dodged, and ultimately embarrassed herself.
“There are lots of leaders,” she claimed vaguely.
Colbert, who usually lobs fawning questions at Democrats, actually pushed back. “But there’s generally a leader,” he noted, clearly hoping to pull out *some* name, any name.
Instead, Harris doubled down on the word salad.
“I’m not going to go through names because then I’m going to leave somebody out and then I’m going to hear about it,” she said, essentially admitting she was more worried about hurting feelings than giving voters clarity.
She then offered up a generic platitude: “I think it is a mistake for us… to put it on the shoulders of any one person. It’s really on all our shoulders.”
Translation? The Democrats have no leader. And Harris, despite her ambition and the release of her new book, *107 Days*, still isn’t ready for prime time.
The interview ended awkwardly shortly after her non-answer — no surprise considering Colbert’s show is already headed for cancellation. Even he couldn’t save Harris from herself.
Harris had just announced she won’t be running for California governor — a race many insiders assumed she’d jump into to save face after her failed time in the White House. Instead, she’s now bouncing around talk shows, promoting a book that no one outside the Beltway asked for.
And while she tiptoes around naming names, the rest of America is left watching the Democratic Party spiral further into leaderless confusion.
Even among Democrats, some names rise to the surface: Newsom and Buttigieg have both polled in double digits among Democratic voters looking ahead to 2028. But Harris, the former heir apparent, seems incapable of pointing to any clear vision or leadership within her party.
Social media users wasted no time shredding her for it.
“Well, he exposed them,” one user posted on X.
“Translation: you’re a moron. She’s clearly stating there is no ‘leader,’” said another.
“‘A lot of leaders’ is a fun way to say ‘leaderless,’” one jabbed.
Another summed it up perfectly: “Just another serving of her usual word soup.”
If this is the Democratic bench for 2028, Republicans can rest easy. Between Biden’s visible decline, Harris’ incoherence, and a progressive base more concerned with pronouns than policy, the party is rudderless — and they know it.
Kamala Harris couldn’t name a leader because the Democrats don’t have one. And based on her performance, she’s certainly not it.
