Bill Maher didn’t hold back on Real Time this week, torching former Vice President Kamala Harris over what he called her “pity-party memoir” about losing to President Trump.
On Friday’s episode, Maher mocked Harris’ new book 107 Days — her account of the 2024 election that ended in a landslide loss for Democrats — saying, “It’s called 107 Days, but it should’ve been called Everyone Sucks but Me.”
Seated across from CNN commentator and former Obama adviser Van Jones, Maher rolled his eyes as he delivered the jab. “That title screams victimhood,” he said. “She’s like, ‘I only had 107 days to win!’ Yeah — and a billion and a half dollars, an army of consultants, and about 75 million people who would’ve voted for a half-eaten sandwich if it wasn’t named Trump. Spare me.”
Jones, usually a loyal liberal, clapped and laughed — a reaction that stunned the audience.
Maher continued tearing into the former vice president’s retelling of her failed campaign, saying, “In 107 Days, absolutely nothing is Kamala’s fault. Biden let her down, Gavin Newsom ghosted her, America wasn’t ready, and the planets weren’t aligned. It’s like reading the diary of a middle-schooler who didn’t make cheer squad.”
Harris’s campaign collapsed after only three months once President Biden declined to seek reelection, leaving the Democratic Party scrambling. Despite a $1.5 billion war chest, she lost decisively to Trump in November — with Trump winning 32 states and reclaiming the White House after four turbulent years of Biden-era policies.
Political analyst Rachel Campos-Duffy told Fox News Digital, “Maher said what a lot of Democrats are thinking but won’t say aloud — that Harris blamed everyone but herself. Voters saw through the identity politics this time.”
In her book, Harris blames “deep-rooted biases” in America for her loss. She even writes she didn’t pick Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as her running mate because, as she put it, “We were already asking a lot of America — to accept a woman, a Black woman, a Black woman married to a Jewish man.”
Maher mocked that logic on-air. “America itself let her down? Please. Maybe she just wasn’t a good candidate,” he said. “She picked Tim Walz — the human equivalent of a Home Depot paint sample — and still wonders why the rallies looked like PTA meetings.”
Conservative commentator Candace Owens echoed Maher’s sentiment on X, writing, “Kamala didn’t lose because of her gender or race. She lost because Americans are tired of being lectured by professional victims.”
Harris’s book tour has only deepened rifts inside the Democratic Party. During a recent stop in Chicago, she praised Hillary Clinton as “a mentor who lifts women up” — widely interpreted as a jab at Joe Biden.
“When she says Hillary lifted her up, what she’s really saying is Biden didn’t,” noted political strategist Doug Schoen. “It’s an ugly signal that Democrats are still at war with each other while Trump’s already governing again.”
In another passage, Harris admitted frustration with Biden’s 2024 Democratic National Convention speech. “He spoke for nearly an hour, listing his accomplishments,” she wrote. “It was a legacy speech for him, not an argument for me.”
Republicans have seized on those comments as proof that Democrats’ 2024 collapse stemmed from ego and infighting, not policy. “They turned the party of hope into a therapy session,” joked Senator J.D. Vance.
Maher closed his segment with his trademark sarcasm: “Kamala says America wasn’t ready for her. Funny — America was ready for Trump, twice.”
The audience erupted.
In 2025, with President Trump back in the White House and Harris’ political career in ashes, Maher’s mockery may have landed harder than ever.
