‘There’s Generally A Leader’: Colbert Presses Kamala To Name Dem Top Dog

CBS late night host Stephen Colbert jabbed at former Vice President Kamala Harris when she refused to say who she believed was leading the Democratic Party going into the 2026 midterm elections.

Harris joined Colbert on Thursday to promote her new campaign memoir — titled “107 Days” — and after pointing out the fact that both Harris and former President Joe Biden were removed from the campaign scene, Colbert asked who would step in and lead the Democratic Party in the immediate future.

She couldn’t name a single person.

Even she couldn’t pretend someone was in charge.

“You’re no longer – you’re not running for office right now, you’re stepping away from that life right now,” Colbert began. “Um — who’s leading the Democratic Party? I’m just curious.”

“There are lots of leaders, and — and — and —”Harris began, but Colbert stopped her.

“There’s generally a leader of the Democratic Party,” Colbert challenged, prompting laughs from the audience. “You know, like, ‘Oh, that’s the leader of the Democratic Party.’ Who comes to mind?”

“I think there are a lot —” Harris said again, and then corrected herself before Colbert could interrupt again. “I’m not gonna go through names, ’cause then I’m gonna leave somebody out and then I’m gonna hear about it.”

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

Harris announced earlier in the week that, after giving it a lot of thought, she had decided not to run for governor in her home state of California. Speculation continues to swirl that she may run for the presidency again in 2028.

A Baby Was Abandoned In A Random Yard. Her Family Was Found Dead, And A Suspect Is On The Loose.

Police identified the suspect they allege killed four relatives of a baby abandoned in a “random” yard in western Tennessee earlier this week.

The case began on Tuesday when authorities found a baby girl in a car seat abandoned in “a random individual’s front yard.” “A dark-colored minivan or a white mid-size SUV” reportedly dropped the child off in a yard in Dyer County, according to a statement made by the local sheriff’s office. A witness saw the infant in a car seat and called 911. Investigators identified the child and began searching for her family to question them about the incident.

A few hours later, authorities found the bodies of the infant’s family in a wooded area of Lake County, the county to the north of Dyer. The deceased were identified as the baby’s mother, Adrianna Williams, 20; father, James Wilson, 21; grandmother, Cortney Rose, 38; and uncle, Braydon Williams, 15.

The suspect, Austin Robert Drummond, 28, is wanted on four counts of first-degree murder, aggravated kidnapping, and various firearm charges, according to a press release from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.

The police are still looking for Drummond, and he is considered armed and dangerous. There is a $15,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.

About a dozen agencies are working on the case, including the FBI. Authorities have not released a suspected motive.

District Attorney Danny Goodman told Fox News that authorities believe it was a targeted attack.

“We don’t think there’s a need for the community to be concerned, as far as it being some type of random act or anything like that,” Goodman said.

“The TBI has been actively working this case,” Goodman added. “It’s a twenty-four hour, round-the-clock operation right now. They have received several leads and they are following up with those.”

Goodman said Drummond knew the victims. Rose’s half sister is Drummond’s current girlfriend, according to the district attorney.

The exact relationship between Drummond and the half sister is unclear. A woman who identified herself as Rose’s sister-in-law said in a Facebook post that the girlfriend used to date Drummond. An obituary for another relative, however, said the pair was married.

The sister-in-law, Brier-Ashley Childress, said Drummond had been close to the family.

“We NEVER expected him to cause ANY harm to ANYONE, much less anyone in our family,” Childress said. “Cortney, Adrianna, Braydon, and Matthew THOUGHT they knew him. We all trusted him.”

Drummond was convicted of armed robbery in 2014 in Madison County, NBC News reported. His prison sentence ended in September. Two months later, he was charged with attempted murder and drug crimes. Drummond was out on bond at the time of the killings.

Drummond is now on the TBI’s Most Wanted List. Authorities found his abandoned car on MCO Road in Jackson, Tennessee, on Aug. 1. In a press conference later that day, TBI Director David Rausch said the agency believes Drummond is still in the area.

“He has direct ties to Jackson and the vehicle being found here certainly heightens that focus,” Rausch said.

The TBI said people nearby have been told to lock doors and stay alert.

Lake County Sheriff Bryan Avery said the infant found in the yard “is safe and being cared for.”

Anyone with information about Drummond is encouraged to contact the authorities by calling 911 or 1-800-TBI-FIND.
