Stephen Colbert needles Kamala Harris after she can’t answer simple question

Former Vice President Kamala Harris was unable to say who the current leader of the Democratic Party was in an interview with Stephen Colbert — leaving even the lefty talk show host exasperated.

“The Late Show” host Stephen Colbert asked Harris — who announced this week she would not be running for Governor of California next year — to identify who she believes is in the driver’s seat for her party.

But Harris balked at the simple question and refused to name a single Democrat.

“There are lots of leaders,” she said.

Colbert, who wasn’t satisfied with the answer, pressed her, asserting there’s “generally a leader” of the party and asked again if any names come to mind.

Still, Harris wouldn’t budge.

“I think there are a lot — 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.

“But let me just say this. I think it is a mistake for us who want to figure out how to get … through this and get out of it to put it on the shoulders of any one person. It’s really on all our shoulders,” she added.

The soon-to-be-axed talk show host then swiftly ended the nearly half-hour interview.

Democrats Harris could have named include former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who were both able to muster double-digit support from Democrats and Democrat-leaning voters in an early 2028 presidential primary poll.

Other top-ranking congressional Democrats she could have named are Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) or House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).

Harris’ appearance on Colbert’s canceled late night talk show was her eighth on the program ahead of the release of her book, “107 Days,” which she described as a “behind-the-scene sharing of what it means to run for president.”
